I have a question for you. If your Garmin is so up to date would you see if a road numbered Indiana 750 is shown. It has been open since Dec. 10,2013. For reference it is off of US-50 east of I-65 as a bypass around North Vernon,In. I personally do not own an up dated GPS. Thanks.
I have not updated my Garmin yet this year, as I have an older model, I'm only allowed two updates annually, so I'm waiting for my spring road trip to get a bit closer.
The road is not shown on my Nuvi, which was last updated July 2013.

BING maps from Microsoft does not show the road at all. (Ditto for Streets 2013)
MapQuest (TOMTOM) does not show the road at all.
I would assume it takes a year or more for brand new roads to make it into the base map for navigators.
