About this app

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 the ability to send and receive calls, texts, and 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™ with Amazon Alexa brings 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.

Using the app with Gamin Mini 3. The idea of viewing and exporting seamless footage is good. However both the preview and the export are painfully slow. Plus the export sometimes produces incomplete footage (missing a few seconds in the middle). Please allow viewing and downloading individual clips as they are recorded by the dash cam, i.e. without stitching them.

Far too pushy about the Drive subscription nonsense, makes your devices show up with a red error state for an expired subscription even if you've never subscribed. This also prevents real errors from being readable in full, they get cut off by the advertisement. Absolutely heinous UI/UX work design to irritate people into subscriptions they don't need.

one of the most frustrating experience I've had trying to set up a dash cam. constantly disconnecting, constantly app restarts, can't connect to two cameras at once. I would think woth a big name company like garmin, their product would work and connect with their app better. if I wasnt restricted by the word count of a review I would go on with more of how bad this app is. please garmin fox your app, I want to like this app and the product. the cameras are good. the app sucks and will not work.
