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.

I spent way to much on a garmin dash cam and get very little in return, You must use this app and it fights you because it wants control of the camera picture storage and your phone, that's what the SD chip is for. I did not buy a dashcam to please garmin, I bought it for me. I'm the customer not garmin. By the way, it's... Fastest time, shortest distance, Then off road. That's logical, like it used to be, when you had American programers doing the GPS work.

Disappointed in lack of features from a big name brand.

I’ll start off this review by saying no dash cam or manufacturer is perfect, usually I’m not picky. HOWEVER for possibly the best known brand for car GPS in days gone by I’m highly disappointed, not in the image quality of the almost $400 Garmin Dashcam Live Camera, I purchased a little over a year ago, but how badly this app needs new features & a redesign even a $100 dash cam more or less has more nowadays. #1 spotty, live video even with good LTE coverage/signal also there is no option to download or save live video in real time without a external screen recorder, or for that fact, no option without being connected directly to the camera to start capture to SD card, so if you catch someone breaking in your car, you can view it on your phone (if it loads) but if they destroy the camera before it uploads to the vault your SOL that should be an easy feature to add in for such a big company also you cannot review saved videos on the SD card with LTE. #2 you have to be connected to the camera directly to change settings or review video, you cannot even do it over your home WiFi network it can connect to, I find this as a major flaw that even cheap cameras can do, so if you want to review video you’re going to have to sit in your car or at best no more than 15 feet away to connect to the camera, what’s the use of connecting it to your home WiFi then? #3 for being “premium” cameras they don’t have that many premium features sadly, would be nice if a “surveillance mode” was added to detect people messing with your car, again a lot of cheaper dash cams do out of the box, obviously doesn’t have to be enabled by default, but should be an option, I am completely fine with a bit dated design if it works, but this whole app needs a overhaul for functionality mainly & a little more design wouldn’t be bad, friends warned me not to get Garmin, I was hoping to prove them wrong as I grew up, remembering Garmin as the GPS everyone had, but sadly they were right, as much as I don’t wanna recommend that $100 “value” dash cam, if I were to recommend or purchase again it would more than likely be a off name camera at this point, well I have no problems with the actual camera I will give them that it seems to be of good quality, the App just ruins it, missing features that are common nowadays,glitchy app connection, wise, feel like I wasted $400. Hopefully they change their app in the future, but as of now I cannot recommend any of their dash cams using this app, Garmin needs to go back to there roots & build software & products that “Just Work”.

Useless.

This app DOES NOT WORK!!! The dashcam refuses to connect over wifi, it takes 4 years to load a single clip off the camera, even when you attempt to delete videos, they stay. Trash. Waste of money and my time, I don’t even feel secure having it in my car when the footage is all seemingly corrupted on a massive sd card… SOOOOOO dissatisfied.
