The navigation system on my 2006 Acura which data was updated 5 yrs ago has this info, but not the Garmin! ( yes I've download all the latest everything on the Garmin)
I've mostly used it for the moving map and the other functions like clearance warnings, gas stations and etc.
I'll be curious to see if other 770 owners have this same problem.

We have never had this issue with our 760. We have taken it for trips in the car when we first got it just to test. The GARMIN always found the destination and routed properly.
I haven't really tested the clearance aspect but I think taking it on some not high enough routes in the car might be a good test.
On ours we have already had two updates in six months, and, so far all roads have been current. We did have to add an additional SD card for the last update, but that was only 14.00 for the maximum memory.
We always confirm routes on a secondary method anyway, but so far the routes have been accurate, the voice recognition good, and the text to speech easy to understand.
Oh, and the Bluetooth is a BIG improvement over THE AXXERRA...
