Question 2021 Venture Nav System

Got my 2021 Venture May 31 and like it. But I have one issue that I am VERY disappointed in. The NAV system basically sucks, by that it seems to show only main highways. If you stay on them no issues but any other roads secondary or dirt, forget it. Its funny that it shows dry creek beds that haven't had water in them in years but not the roads that go by or over them. I didn't notice it while test driving, but that was on main roads. You would think a vehicle for off-roading would have a nav system that shows secondary and other roads and their names. My wife's 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee appears to be generations beyond the 4R and does a GREAT job on that but not the 4R? Its like this is a 15 year old 1st gen nav system. Its not that big of a issue to do a software upgrade to keep up with the rest of the world. They put all the "safety for idiots" that don't pay attention while driving gear in them that added thousands to the price why not a better nav system?

As a second question, is there any way to see if this system has any upgrades available? Cant find anything saying how to do that? The JEEP does.

If you want better offroad-specific nav app, use Gaia. Toyota has been notorious for underproviding in the navigation department.
