DS 65 portrait mode??

With a new vehicle I thought perhaps portrait mode might fit better.. BUT, is there a setting I can't find, read someplace it's automatic and another place it is model dependent..
Does my DS65 have this ability??

Try this

Unfortunately, when you scroll down and link to the content at https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=HNNS8dJSwE2BBM1xGDKXbA the DriveSmart 65 is shown in the “not have” list.

It is only on the DS 86. It

It is only on the DS 86. It is automatic as you rotate the GPS.

It is a great feature and is the reason the DS 86 mount is different from all others.

Thanks all

Thanks.. too bad. Portrait would fit better. Odd that Garmin would not include it in all their versions. Certainly a pile that do.

I know the driveluxe 50

I know the driveluxe 50 supports portrait mode. I vaguely recall the ds61 doing so as well in certain regions (or maybe it was certain fw versions). Current one doesn't support it any more.
