It was great the first week I used it, but Garmin is super behind on map updates. I drive, and travel a ton for work. I ended up using Google maps on my phone than the Garmin because just about every address I put in it didn't recognize, or find. There are roads paved, and named yet Garmin screen is grey. Nothing. However, Google maps can see it. My maps, and firmware is up to date with the updates, and I still have the issue. Some places I work are still under development which is understandable, but some have been established for gears, and Garmin can't find it? I spent $300 bucks on this thing, and it's a great device. The display is superb, lane isolations, and previews of exits are great! However, the only drawback to it is the maps, and traffic is awful, in my opinion. Drive smart is on my phone, and connected I still have my phone running just in case. I should have bought a tablet with a service plan. It would've costed the same with a bigger screen, maps would've been more reliable.

Hi Joseph (or Moto Guru), I might be commenting as of late (sorry I just found this channel) - but I do have a remaining question following this video : how can we now install this newly purchased map to BaseCamp so that we can plan routes without having the GPS connected each time? Thanks in advance!

Should I order the pre loaded sd card straight from garmin? Or do the download? It's the same price either way, right?

Hi, Joby. All your instructional videos on using BaseCamp and transferring maps from Google are 3+ years old by the dates on the posts, and a lot has changed. Are you planning to issue any updates, please?

Hi I have a Honda crv 2019 touring trim. I have exported the vehicle from Canada to United Arab Emirates. Dubai. My issue is that Radio and Navigation does not work. Radio channel jumps 2 steps. Which is different in my region. Middle east. Navigation is also not working because the vehicle is already having Northern American/Canada maps installed which I can’t change. Any help
