My Moms GPS - no Qwerty keyboard. Weird and weirdly unsettling.

We were going to pick up the rental truck. I’m driving and Mom was “having trouble” with the GPS.
I starting typing in the address numbers then ….where is everything?
It was quite unnerving to be honest.
It had the same tapered form of any other keyboard

It wasn’t a qwerty keyboard. My daughter had been their navigator when my folks were hear a few weeks ago to tour historical sites (Hollywood Ceremony- Canal ride), she checked the Settings but couldn’t find a way to change it.

Later model Ford Escape.

Could there be a cost associated with using a qwerty keyboard?
