Hi all...…..Looks like the dedicated GPS is not dead yet....and that could mean we should see continued support with map updates, Smartphone Link, traffic, etc. for older units...read more here (https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/garm ... avigators/), and I quote,

You're probably surprised that Garmin still makes portable navigation devices (or PNDs),
Garmin has just unveiled a trio of new Garmin Drive standalone GPS navigators for automotive at CES 2019. Meet the Garmin Drive 52, SmartDrive 55 and SmartDrive 65.
Smart Drive 65.....https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/61262 ... 0-02038-02#
Smart Drive 55.... https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/66692 ... 0-02037-02#
More and more drivers rely on the powerful and flexible phone in their pocket for navigating modern roads. However, the PND is still a capable and preferable option for professional drivers, road trippers and motorist explore outside of strong LTE coverage. And Garmin is one of most well-known and best established players in the PND game.
The new Garmin DriveSmart 55 and 65 devices feature, respectively, 5.5-inch and 6.95-inch edge-to-edge displays. Powered by Garmin's solid mapping and navigation software with 3D building and terrain data, they also feature a simplified interface that should make them easier to use than the previous generation Garmin Drive devices.
