It used to be better in past. Had the option to share a unsaved location from Google search which was the best and ease of using than any other navigator. But now it's not supported. Seems like the bidders are falling back with support and development.

Seem developer has stopped to develop anymore. Cannot send location from Google Map to Garmin device. I think Garmin Navigator will useless in the near future if there is nothing develop like this. Use Goole Map on mobile phone is better.
