    maps need clarity and more voice prompts. My new DriveSmart 65 only says TURN LEFT ... at Smith street ? after that. This is my 4th Garmin and the MOST expensive. MAPS, Computer USB, and phone support are the WORST I have seen. WHAT HAPPENED TO GARMIN ??

    No Magnet Mount with this Item

    Garmin is a great product. However, we expected a magnet connection on the backside which was not shown in the product photos or description, so we ordered it, only to discover there is no magnetic mount. Having a magnet connection minimizes damage to the USB port that happens when the system falls off your dash and gets tugged on repeatadly.

      Although rare it is possible to have missing map data. We are happy to assist in reporting any missing map data to the mapping provider. Our customers receive up to three map updates each year. On our website here, https://supportforms.garmin.com/en-US/form/report-map-error/ we have a submission form that will report this for you. Garmin
