QuestionAfter purchasing a Garmin gps device, are there any additional monthly charges that I will incur?
Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer No monthly charges. The only charge I can think of would be the charge for your home Wi-Fi you use for free map updates. So far for me it is a great unit. I have connected my phone (free App) so I can get the latest weather and other news updates on the DriveSmart split screen.

Questioncan i track where i go and save where i went ? like if i was riding quads thru the woods could i start the garmin before we take off and keep history of where i went so i can go back to where i was
Asked 3 years ago by james.
- Answer Yes you can, you can turn on tracking so you can retrace your path, and you can save multiple locations by touching the map screen for 2-3 seconds and click on save, then name the file and click save, you can save multiple locations, I have saved about 20 now on my gps.

QuestionDoes this come with a traffic receiver in the box
Asked 3 years ago by AL.
- Answer My unit had only the GPS, Power Cable, Suction Mount, and Instructions in the box. The traffic function seems to be supported by the GPS radio installed within the unit. I Just encountered an accident on the highway the other day and the GPS reported it on screen with an estimated delay time.

QuestionDoes it have WiFi updates?
Asked 2 years ago by Ray.
- Answer It does connect to WiFi and updates itself when the car powers off (park). Some functionality does require pairing with an Android or iPhone, so is not totally independent with WiFi only.

QuestionHow do you install in car. Do you need any other equipment
Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer It comes with the mount for your windshield and you can just plug it into a cigarette lighter. If you don't have one you can get a USB plus that has the cigarette lighter at the end of it. This thing works great and having built an Alexa and the ability to listen to music is great as well.

Questionwhen I purchased this GPS- the only option I had was for suction cup windshield mount.I had to return it back to the store Do they have any compatible dashboard mount ? appreciate your input
Asked 4 years ago by mount.
- Answer I just asked the same question. We were told by the employee that sold it to us that it would fit the dashboard mount on the shelf underneath the gps. So when we tried it, it didn’t fit the ball on the mount. We bought the windshield suction cup that fits-it fell off after a few days and we’re lucky that it didn’t break. We now keep it on a storage drawer on the console-you’d think the company would make one to fit when charged $350 for the device. We even called Garmin-no luck!

QuestionWhen creating a trip planner do you have the ability to speak or use voice assistance entering addresses vs Physically typing addresses in? I need to make 30-60 stops a day for work and I really don’t want to manually enter in 30-60 addresses daily
Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer This model does include the Trip Planner feature that can be used to create a route with up to 30 stops. An Optimize Order feature is also included to manually have the device calculate the optimum order in which to travel to all the entered points. The addresses will need to be manually entered in.
