Description

The Garmin Drive™ app is a simple and convenient app solution for the latest Garmin automotive navigators and dash cams. Visit garmin.com/driveapp for a list of compatible devices.

For compatible navigators, the Garmin Drive app provides real-time information for traffic, parking, advanced weather, and photoLive traffic cameras, in addition to smart notifications from your Bluetooth-enabled mobile device.

For compatible dash cams, the Garmin Drive app provides quick access to camera controls, settings, and recorded footage. Up to four dash cams can be wirelessly connected with the Dash Cam Auto Sync feature to provide comprehensive coverage around a vehicle, offering various viewpoints recorded by the multiple cameras. The Garmin Drive app can create a “picture-in-picture” video from any two perspectives at the same time, making it easy to review video and also share videos with friends, insurance agencies, or legal authorities.

Garmin Speak™ and Garmin DriveSmart™ 65 with Amazon Alexa are two Garmin products that bring what you love about Amazon Alexa to your vehicle. Just ask Alexa to hear music, news, and more. Also, enjoy Garmin turn-by-turn navigation. Stream the audio (music and other responses) from your vehicle’s stereo when you connect Garmin Speak to your stereo using Bluetooth® or AUX.

Older Bluetooth-capable Garmin navigators are compatible with the Garmin Smartphone Link app, and older Wi-Fi-enabled Garmin dash cams can access video footage through the Garmin VIRB app.

excellent app to paste addresses in from Google to then automatically load into my Garmin Zumo XT right the next time it turns on or instantly if the Garmin is running on my motorcycle.

Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2. I was never able to get it to connect after trying 3 PHONES over the last two years. NO OTHER WAY TO CHANGE SETTINGS. No USB, no desktop app, nothing except janky Bluetooth in their heavy dated app. Tried everything. I try every few months to see if it will ever work. Also it gets super hot. If they allowed a lower resolution or framerate for heat and storage practicality, and added a desktop app to plug it in to change settings reliably, it would be an easy 5 stars.

Seamlessly

I’ve had this for over 3 years now and really relied on this app whilst travelling to Tasmania and crisscrossing the island multiple times. The app is quick and has pin point accuracy.

Very poor experience without a subscription

I find it incredibly slow to download videos using the app. The experience is very poor. Really disappointed that there isn’t a way to use my own private file storage or private cloud.

Not able to connect to phone with last update

Updated the last update which now means I do not get any messages. Will not connect to my 16e iPhone now after the last update. Was not broke till Garmin decided to update it.
