Is Garmin currently using USB-C ports on any automobile GPS devices?

Likely no....
The current DriveSmart series still shows a USB-A port for power. I would also suspect there is little if any incentive to move to something like USB-C. We are not talking about a device that needs huge amounts of power for operation or charging. USB-C would be overkill.

USB-C
It's merely the shape of the male connector. New phones have C connector for a few years now, and it avoids the orientation issues of the mini, and micro styles.
As well, it has a rapid charge capability that others don't.
