Garmin Drive™ for Positive User Reviews
✓ Great setup, could use a bit more features.Really love my Dash Cam 57 and the Drive software works well. One feature that I feel is missing is the App’s ability to send push notifications, and keep a LOG of those. Maybe even via Apple Car play? The logistical hurdle is that I have the camera installed stealthily such that I can’t view the screen (I wanted the 57 performance but not a fan of windshield obstruction) and when the cam sends warning beeps for monitoring features - close encounters, speed traps, red lights, etc - I have no idea what they are because the screen isn’t visible. A push notification or log in the software would enable me to see what events were logged..Version: 4.22.25
✓ Best on marketMy Garmin micro dashcam is the best, small in size but packed with easy to use features… Every vehicle on the road should be fitted with a Garmin.Version: 4.17.23
✓ Great seniors deviceThe DriveSmart screen is great since it is large and when properly configured, shows and tells clearly when and where you should be. Have used it for a month and it has been a true bonus in directing how to get from A to B with stops in between..Version: 4.22.20
✓ Generally goodFunctions well but has atrociously slow Wi-Fi connectivity. Recently, even though I’ve updated with Express I get spurious update messages. Each time I connect it’s up to date. Clearly this app needs an overhaul..Version: 4.18.49
✓ Work great!Nice little app, easy to use, work well so far 👍.Version: 4.22.15
✓ Great route changerThe app advised my GPS of a advisable route change to avoid a traffic jam and saved the frustration of start stop traffic on my heavy Harley Davidson. It would have been a killer of 28 minutes of Aussie heat and a hot bike..Version: 4.21.12
✓ Garmin DC2Awesome camera with easy to use features..Version: 4.22.18
✓ *******Excellent !.Version: 4.23.32
✓ Excellent addition to new Garmin Drive smart 55This complements the gps. It works well in the background and only comes in when connected to the unit It delves traffic and weather well Just remember to turn it on each time.Version: 4.06.26
✓ My Dash Cam 66wVery high tec though the manual controls are a bit small for my sausage fingers. Software and setup details are satisfactory though would prefer a detailed paper copy instead of relying on the App. A very comprehensive piece of kit which is reliable and extremely informative. Having just passed my IAM driving test the 66w compliments my wish to continue being a safe driver at all times. I would certainly recommend it to other Road users. Andrew Bird.Version: 4.18.49
✓ Simple to useThe app works well with dash cam 56, updates it’s firmware and download videos on the wifi!.Version: 4.17.23
✓ Good user experienceTook a couple of attempts to connect to the Garmin Nav but once I did it was up and running quickly. The App is easy to use and I really like the ability to search whilst not connected to the Nav device and when I do connect the address is ready for me to just press on and I’m off and running..Version: 4.18.46
✓ Useful app for the Garmin Dash miniEasy to use app, clips are easy to edit within the app itself and downloading them to you phone is simple. Improvements I’d like to see, some sort of CarPlay integration. Doesn’t need full features maybe just ability to save a clip while the phone is in CarPlay mode..Version: 4.06.26
✓ EasyEasy to use.Version: 4.21.10
✓ Wish there is a faster way to export over wifiExporting a custom cut (1min) long video took forever over wifi..Version: 4.22.25
✓ Drive appGreat easy to nav app highly recommended.Version: 4.19.37
✓ GarminSo far happy with dashcam was fairly easy install and love the app on my phone!.Version: 4.23.32
✓ Still new but loving itSo far it has been pretty easy to set up and use. Looking forward to spending more time with it.Version: 4.18.49
✓ Great App!I previously purchased a different dash cam, and quickly found out that the app for it was horrible. I returned the dash cam and purchased the Garmin mini two and I have had a really good experience with it. The app is straightforward and easy to use, and I love the speech recognition on the camera. I can give it a command to save a clip without ever having to pick up my phone or press any buttons on the camera. I highly recommend a Garmin Dash Cam..Version: 4.19.38
✓ App is good but not straight forward at firstI got the mini dash cam for my truck and the app that you must use with it, because the model does not have a screen. The initial experience with the app was confusing at first because I didn’t really know how to access video footage because in order to watch video from the cam you must have it paired with the cam via wifi (which does not need to be hotspot, it just registers as a wifi signal when pairing). Because of this my Apple Car Play kept kicking me out off the wifi signal to continue the Car Play stuff so I had to disconnect the truck from my phone first. This is not a problem once you figure that part out, but the easiest thing to do is if you have wifi at home to simply connect your dashcam to your home wifi and it will save important footage for you to view later..Version: 4.23.32
✓ Great App!Practical and easy to use!!.Version: 4.13.30
✓ A handy tool to quickly download and share your videos and picsThe software is simple and easy to use for basic functions. It would be nice to have a few extra tools to help you find the clip you’re looking for from within the many others. It works very well from your phone. I’m quite happy with this package all things considered..Version: 4.16.26
✓ Easy to useEasy and straight forward to use, I haven’t had any problems and found it fast and easy to use.Version: 4.23.32
✓ 2009 Tacoma installGarmin working as expected, few restarts on occasion, but works and records very well in all lighting conditions.Version: 4.22.20
✓ Garmin dash camVery good video quality..Version: 4.23.27
✓ AwesomeReally easy to use, great screen size. Using the app is really easy and has some great features. Being in my late seventies ( 78) I absolutely love the find my car option, especially at the shopping mall car park. Saves my car battery as I don’t have to keep locking and unlocking the car to find the flashing lights..Version: 4.23.32
✓ AccurateWe were travelling in the US and it asked us to do an update. I made my husband wait until it was finished. Turned out, that it saved us a lot of time as there was a highway that was closed and we would have taken it and then had to retrace our steps. Thanks Garmin. Feb 2024.Version: 4.23.32
✓ Great bit of kit !I have the drive smart version the only down fall I have is it doesn’t know areas taxis are allowed in other then that couldn’t fault it great in apps for voice command and weather radar app 👍.Version: 4.08.20
✓ Excellent Satnav love it you can put gpx files over easyI used to have the tom-tom go 550 but got rid of it due to you could not transfer gpx files on. the Garmin XT is so easy to do and navigate around highly recommend this Satnav for motorcyclist.Version: 4.22.25
✓ What a joyUsing my Garmin to navigate me, the Alexa app built in plays any tune in the world, allows me to add to my lists and shop, tells me facts, the wireless reversing Garmin camera works a treat it really is just a fabulous set up Garmin have done a fantastic job and all for under £400 all in where SUZUKI wanted £1500 to install an inferior fitted system .... you won’t regret buying this.Version: 4.07.31
✓ Awesome CameraI’m extremely satisfied with the purchase..Version: 4.22.20
✓ Mostly very good.The volume control on the unit is less responsive to my needs than I would ideally like. Not a critical problem for me but I’m having trouble getting to grips with the separation between the functions it controls. Other than that, the drive 76 is a great improvement on my last Garmin unit. With its very visible 7” screen, it’s improved response to my voice and it’s much faster response to commands and added functionality across all functions. It actually monitors my music playlists too. Thanks Garmin. A great step forward for me..Version: 4.20.27
✓ Great dash cam but…The Garmin mini 2 dash cam has worked good since I purchased it, however, it seems there is an overheating issue. If the cam is left plugged in and your vehicle is parked in the heat it will not function properly when you crank your car back up. Normally I’d have to unplug it and wait 15 minutes and then plug it back in to get it working. A simple solution is to unplug it when you park your car and plug it back in when you go to leave. Please note the overheating issue came from leaving my car parked in the heat for long periods of time..Version: 4.17.23
✓ Works wellI bought the Garmin 57 dash cam and tried to load Garmin Drive app on my iPhone (IOS 15.3) but couldn’t get past the “accept conditions” page - contacted Garmin support - it turned out to that I had my text size set too large on my phone to allow me to see the accept button - silly me !!! I have the app installed and working great now, everything running as advertised.Version: 4.18.46
✓ GreatFantastic sat-Nav, everything pretty straight forward to downloading, the set up and off you go. What makes it different and better from others is you download the app, if there is a location you want to travel too, copy the address put it into the app and it goes straight to the sat-nav, saves a lot of time with not messing about trying to put the address into the sat-nav. When your phone sends the address straight to the sat-nav, amazing..Version: 4.18.46
✓ Great experienceVery good so far experience with the Garmin smart GPS. Being able to send destination from phone to GPS is cool. The only negative is that some of the addresses can't be found like when you use Google Maps..Version: 4.13.30
✓ XT ReviewAbsolutely fantastic, best GPS and connectivity I have had. Information has been accurate 😊.Version: 4.21.12
✓ Save FeaturePlease upgrade to save feature. So that we can save our favourites in the mobile app only and also to save best places we visit..Version: 4.15.02
✓ Garmin smart drive 55This is a great device and easy to install and easy to setup and use thanks.Version: 4.23.29
✓ Navigate like a London Cab DriverIll never be apprehensive again when venturing onto unknown territory..Version: 4.23.32
✓ Great app with live view featurePretty straight forward to set up and use. I wish the cam was capable of connecting to wifi..Version: 4.16.28
✓ Great Device so easy to use and so much capabilityI have had various Garmin Sat Navs they are so easy to use and so flexible, the Garmin Drive App makes it even easier and Garmin Base Camp allows you to plan routes anywhere.Version: 4.21.12
✓ Love ItI just finished a 5,000 mile, multi-destination trip with it and I love this Garmin DriveSmart 86. I have no complaints. The extra large display is great. It senses “up” so I can orient it in any of four directions and the display remains upright. It has a feature to help me find food, fuel, lodging, rest stops, and attractions near my present location, up ahead (not behind) and will provide instructions to them with only a few button clicks. It displays lots of relevant info I might want as a driver such as my speed, direction, elevation, average speed, moving average, miles traveled, time and distance remaining to destination, and much more. It links to my phone via Blue Tooth for traffic updates and weather. It is the best GPS I have owned so far..Version: 4.19.38
✓ Very happy with purchaseWorks as advertised and easy to use.Version: 4.23.28
✓ Easy to useNice app. Not very complicated to use. Connectivity is a little slow though.Version: 4.22.25
✓ Easy to useMakes life just that little bit easier.Version: 4.18.49
✓ Beats the Panties off Rand McNally!Oh wait, Rand McNally doesn’t even have an app! Even if they did Garman would still be superior. I used that other company for five years and got so disgusted with them that I decided to make a switch. There are some features on the interface that are lacking, such as a compass rose and Highway mile marker being displayed all the time, but that’s a small trade off. Routing is superior and the device is easy to use. What more could one ask for?.Version: 4.15.03
✓ DeanGreat first class product..Version: 4.22.15
✓ Easy to useCamera is easy to set up and install. It does everything they say it will ……. This is a huge plus after the year or so I had Nexar and they couldn’t get my camera working properly. I bought the mini version of the Garmin. It takes up no room and because of its size it’s easy to place in an location that will not obscure your field of view. The ability to have multiple cameras work inside one app is nice. As the funds become available I plan to get a few more mini cameras for extra views while driving. The only feature I would like to have is one that would allow it to record my drives to my phone in real time like a Scosche camera I had years back. It allowed the camera to loop and do what it needed to to maintain the storage in the camera but let me choose what I wanted to keep without having to interact with the camera or it’s SD card directly..Version: 4.21.12
✓ Great appThis app works - at least for me flawlessly. I use voice commands for “take a picture” and “save video” all the time with no issues. The only reason I am rating this app is that there are those having issues with it and I simply wanted to say that I have zero issues. It easily connects and stays so until I turn off my car; then you must obviously reconnect. The vault makes little sense to me as the SD card saves everything. It is hard to beat the Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 (with its app) size, quality, and convenience. I have a friend with the Mini 2 who agrees 100% with the above review..Version: 4.18.46
✓ Good but could be betterEasy to setup and then works automatically. Notifications for traffic etc seamless. I really wish you could use another app other than apple maps to send locations to Drivesmart using iOs..Version: 4.13.30
✓ Garmin zumoVraiment super.Version: 4.22.15
✓ GreatThanks.Version: 4.12.06
✓ Hands-free phone still pops upI updated the software to the latest version and it started showing the hands free phone even though I have all the notifications shut off on the phone and the Dezl OTR 800. I even deleted the app on my phone and unpaired everything and set it all up again making sure all notifications were off. This is annoying!!! Called tech support on Monday and they said that there had been many calls about this and they are working on fix Software update came out later that day and fixed the issue.Version: 4.15.03
✓ Good one butLove tha apps does basic things which is friendly and easy. Improvement can be done like option to save your fav places, option to choose the route from mobile and transfer to navigator. UI can be improve a lot..Version: 4.13.32
✓ It just works!I’ve had my mini for a year now and I just don’t have to think about it it is always working. Easily connects to phone to download pictures or videos..Version: 4.22.25
✓ Awesome little dashcam.This little gadget is what i need, i like this better than with display, you cant get distracted with this. Its worth the money..Version: 4.22.14
✓ Price x benefitsIt’s my second one! Easy to use, speed camera alert, accident detector to warn people of the distance to the front car! Good acquisition..Version: 4.13.32
✓ Good choiceI’ve been using my my garmin for 5 weeks & can only say that I’m very happy with it .I’ve been all over the uk and put my vehicle dimensions in and it’s never let me down .l would definitely recommend it 😎😎.Version: 4.17.23
✓ MelIt’s great but a lot of features to try to make sense of.Version: 4.23.32
✓ My DriveSmart55 ExperienceHave been using now for just a few weeks and so far, absolutely no complaints. Application setup and interaction is both very helpful and intuitive. The just unboxed unit was easily updated specific maps as well feature firmware. My previous Garmin was the Nuvi model, it lasted without any issues till finally exhausting the internal battery last month. I purchased it in 2011! If this new unit serves me similarly I really will be most pleased. Thanks so much Garmin for quality support as well sold GPS units. Billy Allen.Version: 4.23.28
✓ Garmin Dash cam 57Love this dash cam upgraded from 55 which I’ve transferred to my wife’s car. The app works faultlessly with this dash cam. I also like the speed camera alerts. The camera logs onto the internet outside the house and uploads and checks for updates. The size or the dash cam is really small. Not obvious from outside. You can say to it save video save photo or record Timelapse it’s brilliant..Version: 4.21.12
✓ LoveSimple to use.Version: 4.22.15
✓ Highly recommendedI was looking for small size device without lcd screen. I didnt want it to make it clear insight while driving. Apps is also easy to check the videos and it provides firmware update by the wifi. Highly recommend! Very good :).Version: 4.16.28
✓ John WainhouseJust purchased a new dashcam 56 and couldn’t be happier All going as per expectation Great app.Version: 4.06.26
✓ Garmin Drive fills a voidI’ve been using Garmin automotive products for over 20 years and I currently use a pair of DriveSmart 66’s. Their one deficiency was a lack of Internet search capability, and the Garmin Drive app fills that void. Please do not cease developing advanced, automotive navigators, and definitely do not discontinue support of the BaseCamp app. BUT… your product support is terrible! Either your agents are overworked or undertrained. About 70% of the feedback I get is either incomplete, or it misses the mark completely. I have taken this up with them directly..Version: 4.23.29
✓ Garmin is the bestWhat can I say I've always been a loyal tomtom supporter but this year I bought a device from tomtom there was hardly any support from customer service to call centre all correspondence through email and repetitive responses. Took it back and bought a garmin sat nav. Best thing I did everything worked out the box I did have issue where the mount was missing but garmin supplied me a replacement free of charge abd all you can call their call centre. Think I will stick with garmin in future.👍👍.Version: 4.22.15
✓ The bestI have had Tom Tom gps’s and rand McNally gps’s even their tablet. Hands down the otr1000 is the best gps on the market. The information I have with the voice activation and single touch on the screen is phenomenal. The upcoming city screen has been a huge aid. I find I have more confidence in my trip planning; and changing my route on the fly. I can write a 1000 page paper on how useful this gps, the otr1000 is. Great product!!!!! Thank you all from CEO to the assemblers..Version: 4.18.46
✓ Travel buddySeamless connection. Garmin doing a good job keeping up with smartphones by well featured app. My phone gps died and Garmin can replace it minus google search.Version: 4.23.32
✓ ReviewEasy to set up and use thankyou.Version: 4.21.10
✓ Garmin is one of the top / best in everythingNeed to buy another one ! App is very good and they provide service , i was using a motorola and I can’t connect anymore , service is down Garmin is a guarantee! Little expensive but , is a quality there I use it for 2 years.Version: 4.23.29
✓ Well thought out and excellentHaving had unsatisfactory experiences with some cheap Chinese dash cams, decided to bite the bullet and pay an extra amount for the Garmin 66 Dashlane. All I will say is you get what you pay for. Fully satisfied customer.Version: 4.13.32
✓ BrilliantAfter having my old Garmin for over 14 years, it was starting to tell me it’s feeling its age, so it was time to pension it off, it never once complained, so to replace it with another Garmin was a no brainer, with a much bigger screen, and more information at hand, I’m loving it already 👏😊.Version: 4.23.32
✓ Love my GarminUsed Waze for many years but with its changes I found it not very helpful as much. I returned to Garmin and love it. The Garmin Drive app is like using Waze. I program in my phone where I want and it always finds the location and tells me traffic. I must be Bluetooth to Garmin for this to work but that is fine. I think the only thing I miss from Waze is where the police are hiding out but as long as you drive with speed limit you don’t have to worry..Version: 4.17.23
✓ Great appI’ve brought a few dash cams over £300 and none work as good as this lil mini 2 dash cam for £100 and at the moment the app seems to be spot on .. there is nothing worse then spending 100s of pounds on dash cam only to be let down by the app so thank you.Version: 4.23.32
✓ Makes traveling easier.Clear directions with all necessary information given. Easy to use..Version: 4.09.19
✓ Service n operationsI have never spoken with such polite and helpful people you all could not help me enough. And my RV 890 is the best GPS unit I’ve ever owned. I refuse to use my jeep unit as it’s so far behind my Garmin. I am always show it off to people. Anyone that hasn’t have one they should look into getting one. Again thanks for all. Blondie mills Tasmania.Version: 4.22.20
✓ GarminVery impressed with the unit. The only drawback is voice command ,wake up is hard to use ,have to repeat myself, sometimes to get it to wake up… and really new updates , that’s all.Version: 4.23.32
✓ Garman DrivingWorks great with more features than expected. I like the lane assist and forward collision warning. Just wish the notification stayed on screen a little longer. But great just the same..Version: 4.22.20
✓ Works GreatUsed the Garmin 56 and the App for about 4 months now and it all works seamlessly and I’ve not had any issues with using it or updates etc. everything just works great. Very happy with my purchase..Version: 4.15.03
✓ Kawar10 stars.Version: 4.16.28
✓ Great AppI have used different brands over the years and Garmin is the Leader by a long shot.Version: 4.23.32
✓ Amazing toolThis app is very good when trying to use navigation on the road. For me I use it with Garman and Alexa together while I’m on the road.It can easily send destination address to your device from your home or anywhere and you don’t have to plug-in when you enter the car..Version: 4.20.27
✓ Accuracy and command surpriseSpeed change updates where very accurate. Garmin indicated speed change signs when I was almost level with signage. When driving at speed, I decided to take an alternate route. When Garmin told me I had deviated I spoke out and said “OK Garmin, stop navigating”, I was unaware this was an option when it answered with OK and stopped and carried on the way I was going. My Wife looks at me funny when I talk to it..Version: 4.22.25
✓ IPhone - How to?I spoke with someone at Garmin after having connection issues on my iPhone 12pro. He advised me to delete Bluetooth connections on my phone and to keep trying. This worked. It worked both times as I had 2 cameras which where just not connecting. Most definitely annoying but a very handy feature, I’ve now got 4 Bluetooth connections in the car and the cameras work no problem. I do hope Garmin rectify this issue, none the less hope it helps..Version: 4.20.25
✓ Saving graceTrue story - we were in the Arkansas Ouachita mountains and got lost following the signage on the road. Kept going in 20 mile circles up and down these jeep trails. Started getting dark and low on gas of course. No cell service, so I beginning to freak out! Then I remembered that our marvelous GPS, that we call Grandma, uses satellites!! Cranked her up and she lit up and took us right back to camp. I was always amazed at the excellent work she does, but this was above and beyond. Get one Garmin or waste your money!!!.Version: 4.22.19
✓ Good buy easy to use appI would give this five stars. The only reason it’s getting four is formatting the SD card per the instructions in the box are a little more challenging than what they should be. During camera set up it gives you the option to format the SD card once the camera is added to the app and it takes a second for it to format the card versus the other way, which took several minutes if it even worked at all. Other than that love the cameras and love the quality video it has, and works really great for me and my vehicles!.Version: 4.23.29
✓ Easy as…Being able to give Voice Commands IS a Huge Plus for GPS guidance !.Version: 4.21.11
✓ Garmin DriveReally good app helps me maintain distance and provides a safe driving experience.Version: 4.13.32
✓ Garmin NavigatorSo easy to add destinations to the Navigator Brilliant!!.Version: 4.22.25
✓ Mini 2Excellent device! App is easy to use and video quality is fantastic. I’m very impressed with what you get from such a small dash cam..Version: 4.19.34
✓ Repeatedly Asking for Bluetooth on iOS 15Update: I thought I had fixed the constant pop ups from Drive asking for Bluetooth to be turned on. But I did not. No matter what I change in the settings, I get this pop up every time I wake up my phone. Annoying and unnecessary. I kept getting pop ups from Drive asking for Bluetooth to be turned on after upgrading my phone to iOS 15. I solved this by removing my dash cam from the app and deleted both dash cam Bluetooth connections. Then reinstalled the dash cam from scratch and all is working well now. I also upgraded my Mini 2 and it now has an independent sensitivity setting for parking mode. Nice!.Version: 4.17.23
✓ SeamlesslyI’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..Version: 4.22.15
✓ Great ideaThe garmin drive is a great idea and is relatively easy to use, it’s also well thought out. The only point I’m not sure about is the traffic updates for my sat nav need to come from the app hence using up mobile phone data.Version: 4.17.24
✓ Rate appAwesome stuff thank you Garmin 👌.Version: 4.22.14
✓ 67W and Drive AppThis is exactly why I purchased a Garmin Dashcam. The interface is a little bit bumpy on first setup. But after that smooth and robust..Version: 4.22.20
✓ SatisfactionI had a problem at first with my garmin mini 2.It wouldn’t connect to my blue tooth so I took it back to Halfords and garmin gave them permission to give me an other one ☝️ I set it up straight a way no problem If old coffin dodger like me can set it up any one can. Brilliant peace of kit to have in your car. I had it hard wired in to my OBD port to the fuse box. The mini 2 so small you can hardly see it in your car. I recommend this product to normal drivers. I just had the one front version only..Version: 4.16.28
✓ Decent dash cam appGarmin is a great company that makes cool things!.Version: 4.22.15
✓ Clear PictureInstalled it today and went to shopping center and got break in my car and captured the video of whole incident from interior view. I had connected my dash cam tandem with OBD port with GARMIN Constant Power supply cable..Version: 4.18.46
✓ Reliable RecordingMy camera starts right up every time I get in my car. I have a recent video where someone was not watching what she was doing in a parking lot and drove right out in front of me. I was able to slam on the breaks and miss hitting her. She could barely see over the steering wheel and looked at me like “what’s your problem” and kept making her turn in front of me. It scares me as I could have T boned this lady and really hurt her. Since hitting a motorcycle at night just over a year ago, I have become hyper aware of everything around me. It was at night and I turned in front of a motorcycle I never saw. A black crotch rocket, driver admits to speeding. Driver all in black from helmet down and could not have had any headlights or reflectors as I saw nothing. Thank God the driver has literally no serious injuries except of course road rash, a chipped tooth, and a broken thumb. He was driving suspended. So glad to now have a dashcam. The whole thing would have turned out differently if I had video. I never saw him. If I did, why would I turn?!.Version: 4.22.14
✓ Garmin driveSmart 55 GPSThis app works great with my car GPS, pairing was quick and now I have weather alerts on my GPS. Live traffic not only on the highway but also in the city. All together a good addition to my car GPS..Version: 4.22.25
✓ Great deviceGreat device so easy to use, very accurate plenty of add on features voice command, phone access, plus many other features..Version: 4.16.28
✓ Good cameras except……I have been using garmin dash cams for many years now. I love them except for one thing, well, maybe two. 1 the download speeds are painfully slow! Please fix this by making the downloads faster. And 2, let’s bring back the ability to narrow down the search for a specific incident . The cropping slider is very difficult to retrieve a 1 or 2 minute clip. Did I just confuse you? … me too.! I need a better way to find and narrow down a clip I want to save from the unsaved videos. With my memory card being a large capacity card it’s super hard to go back and find that small clip I want to recover. Otherwise I love garmin dash cams..Version: 4.22.18
✓ Love my GarminWow what a great tool for my truck and car , I’ve had a few people jump in front of my truck and if I didn’t have my camera I couldn’t of proved it was the drivers fault , captured road rage idiots too !!!! Great thing and it tells you where all the speed cameras are and gives you a speed check . Great camera great sound , easy app to use on your phone quality pictures. This won’t be the only Garmin I’ll buy super highly recommend..Version: 4.20.25
✓ Garmin 67So far it has been faultless. I’m A truck driver and the unit is on 24 hours a day and is working perfectly. I did turn the collision alert off as it was a pain but I like that it tells you when your at the lights and cars are starting to move and the lane assist is ok. Sometimes your in your lane when it goes off but at least it makes you double check. Video quality is really good. For me it’s a 10/10.Version: 4.22.15
✓ I love my garminI wouldn’t drive without it. This is my 5th Garmin over the years and the Drive Smart 65 is the best one yet! I have no sense of direction, so before I had my first Garmin I was terrified every time I had to make a road trip to someplace I wasn’t familiar with. Sometimes it was even difficult finding my way home! Now I just say “Go Home!” People with out this condition won’t understand but it was awful! The free updates keep me going in the right direction. Thank You Garmin!.Version: 4.18.49
✓ Liking it so farAs some other reviewers have said the app is a little bit clunky at times. I had a lot of trouble connecting my cameras when I first got them but have been very happy with them ever since. The Wi-Fi connection can be a bit slow to export clips but it does what I need..Version: 4.22.15
✓ Overall goodThe layout, user interface, and general usability of the app is very good. Everything is very easy to use and relatively automatic. However, I do occasionally have connection problems that don’t seem to be for any particular reason, that requires me to restart the app a few times to get it to work.Version: 4.23.32
✓ Great appAnd the developers actually listen to you it gets better and better it’s shameful Halfords stopped stocking garmin devices like my 66w which are great devices for next base instead. I could not even buy a parking kit from Halfords who I originally bought it off when new..Version: 4.16.26
✓ Love to drive againOk, just a little sarcastic, but yeah... I drive professionally, and this thing makes it so I can concentrate on the road while it handles getting me where I need to go, and usually haven’t been before. A couple things I would like to have it do, though, to help professional drivers. 1. Allow for ‘learned’ routes. Multiple drives to a certain address that don’t follow the suggested or alternate route due to destination issues. 2. Allow map editing to indicate areas that are off limits, such as an area that doesn’t allow a company vehicle/bus in their townships. Yes, Windcrest, Texas, I’m talking about you. 3. Have a “Pro” option where the directions always put the destination address on the right at arrival. Also would like to see tighter address control. No one knows how to standardize house addresses, and finding them in the dark is a pain if the directions tell you that you’ve arrived two blocks from the actual house. 4. HUD MODE. Projection technology exists, there should be a way to project the display onto the windshield. I’ll leave my wish list at that, but even without those items, you’re a fool if you need something like this and don’t get this one..Version: 4.13.32
✓ Garmin DriveSuper 👍🏼.Version: 4.22.20
✓ I am a truck driver and am so satisfied with the resultOf course i recommend truck drivers to buy the 67w better than the other ones!.Version: 4.22.19
✓ Better than the VIRB appThis app is an improvement from the VIRB app that my previous Garmin Dash Cam 55 had to use. I like this apps ability to connect multiple cameras but it seems to hang loading the images when the secondary camera is not powered on. The improvement I would like to request is the availability to filter the parking videos from the in motion videos. The only filtering is for video or photo only in the gallery. I have the camera in my truck constantly recoding and the gallery has way more “saved” video than the moving ones..Version: 4.12.06
✓ Love the garmin and appI have a iphone xr and it has no issue at all. Works great and i move this from car to car as i rent alot. Alexa works great with only a few features not available like playing video. I would love if it would show nest and blink camera. That would make this product perfect. i can run my home lights, alarms, temp, irrigation and all other smart home features (less the cameras). Garmin features are hands free and very easy to use. I could not be happier with this product..Version: 4.06.22
✓ Definitely worth the 5 stars!Absolutely brilliant little piece of gear. Easy to set up, easy to pair with the Garmin Drive App, easy to adjust. Not as scary as the PDF instruction manual! Good set of features. Highly recommended. I love it!!.Version: 4.19.38
✓ Garmin got us thereWould not travel with out it.Version: 4.23.29
✓ My experienceVery pleased with my system, easy to use,reliable and accurate navigation Thank you Garmin.Version: 4.22.25
✓ Garmin sat navMade the change from TomTom to Garmin a couple of weeks ago and it was the best decision I could have made- not just the benefit of having Alexa installed but the system is that much more advanced then TomTom or the other devices available on the market. More than happy to recommend this satnav!.Version: 4.15.03
✓ ExcellentBeen using Tom Tom for years but found it difficult to update as I have no home computer, however I can take the garmin in my house and download the updates over my internet. 10/10.Version: 4.23.32
✓ Does what it needs to doIt is not the prettiest or graphically most advanced app, but it reliably connects to the dash am and seems to do everything it needs to. Live view of the camera can be a bit glitchy, in that it may fail to show the camera and or takes a very long time to load, or switch views..Version: 4.17.24
✓ Great toolThe ability to anticipate or avoid steep grades when possible is a wonderful asset. Helps reduce slope anxiety!.Version: 4.22.20
✓ Dash camEasy to connect and works vary well.Version: 4.23.32
✓ IrritatingThis app does everything it’s supposed to do absolutely perfectly BUT over the last few weeks it regularly tells me that there is an update for one of my devices. The first time I checked both devices (DriveSmart 65 and DC MINI) and found there was an update for the DriveSmart. Updated it and all was well. Unfortunately since then virtually every day, sometimes more than once a day, a notification pops up saying there is an update available. In desperation I contacted Garmin support who suggested that I had to connect to Garmin Express to do the update. Connected, only to discover that everything was up to date. Since then, and it’s only a matter of hours, I’ve had more notifications. It may just be me that it’s picking on but be prepared just in case. Without the irritation I would have given it 5 stars as it does do everything brilliantly!.Version: 4.18.49
✓ Dash cam proves driver is not disrespectfulWith the simplicity of the Garmin drive app I was able to use the video footage on my Garmin dash cam to prove to a receiver that I was not belligerent and disrespectful to the gate guard when I arrived at their facility... when I talked with the manager at the facility he told me that the guard had accused me of being vulgar and belligerent when I was told that I was not going to be loaded. I sat in my truck for a few minutes after this conversation and realized that my dash cam was on I checked to see if it had recorded the audio between me and the guard and it did surprisingly it was a very clear audio with the cam mounted to my windshield and an electronic speaker approximately 3 feet outside the door of the truck all the conversation was clearly recorded. Playing the video with audio back to the manager gave him a total respect for the integrity of a person who was not just trying to defend himself but telling him the truth... The app is very easy to use self-explanatory and is worth it’s weight in gold . (that is if it has any weight).Version: 4.13.32
✓ LGV700 truck sat nav.I’ve had it a few weeks and very pleased with it. It takes me straight to my delivery point and picks up all traffic in time for me to change if need be.Version: 4.17.23
✓ HighwayIt’s a little tricky to get started sometimes but once it’s started it usually works great. It’s great at showing what’s going on in front of me while I’m driving especially in today’s society where they want to back up and hit you then say that I rammed them or something. All I gotta do is wait until the cops get there and tell them I got proof on camera that they backed up into me trying to scam me and/or my insurance company. One thing I’m really happy about is that it doesn’t record what speed I’m doing because depending on what stretch of road I’m on and how heavy my foot I would be in some real trouble. Let’s just say that I have the potential to go more than 2.5 times the interstate speed and go from there. No I won’t admit to how far I’ve pushed it either lol..Version: 4.17.23
✓ Very goodI just wish there was an auto connect option without having to start the app.Version: 4.18.46
✓ Excellente applicationJe transfert mes GPX de mes application sur mon IPhone et tout se fait sans fils. Juste WoW.Version: 4.22.19
✓ Garmin Dash Cam 66WExcellent cam, quality build & 180 degree field of view is very good. Perhaps a little more expensive than some however you get exactly what you have paid for. Five stars..Version: 4.11.12
✓ Works Great, Small sizeLike this unit. Unobtrusive and functional! Garmin has a great product line..Version: 4.22.24
✓ It has worked wellIt has worked really well for me :).Version: 4.22.18
✓ Simple to useHad no issues connecting and getting started. Layout is easy to understand and control. Very good app..Version: 4.16.18
✓ No complaintEasy to set up. Can be used as a standard sat nav but works much better with the app. Can set up multi drops at the start of the day and no problems with sending me in wrong direction yet. Definitely worth purchasing.Version: 4.17.23
✓ Haven’t used the app much. But love the sat navLove the satnav. It’s brilliant. Love the upgrade which tells me where the speed cameras are Also love the route modification capacity..Version: 4.18.46
✓ Good applicationGood so far.Version: 4.22.20
✓ Great appLike it very much.Version: 4.22.20
✓ Garmin Dash cam mini 2Was unsure what dash can to get.. this one had good reviews and I like the fact it didn’t have a screen as I find them quite distracting. Had no problem with the app. Able to speak to get the dash to record any incident.. although it’s recording all the time anyway. Need to purchase an SD card to go with it. My wire placement in is not the best.. but that only me that has to live with it! The quality of the image is very good too. Would recommend!.Version: 4.23.32
✓ Great To Good WorkSmart Work.Version: 4.23.32
✓ Easy to useThis app is very easy to use, with the ability to edit as you go..Version: 4.23.29
✓ Garmin rules the oceans the road track & fieldBest device I have used simple straight forward I should of bought one years ago thanks a million Garmin.Version: 4.17.24

✓ Extremely HappyWhat a great little unit As a Tradie l want it to just work simply and it does Great clarity and simple to check video if needed Happy Customer.Version: 4.23.28
✓ Unable to join deviceSince last update, app can pick up device, but when ask to join device, it cannot connect and goes back to join request..Version: 4.17.24
✓ ReviewGreat App, works well. Definition could be better tho..Version: 4.19.35
✓ Garmin satnavFirst week using garmin and I am very happy my wife bought it for me. I love the lane direction feature. And the traffic updates. One thing can I change the vehicle speed on the route screen for distance to my destination? Other than that I am very happy with it..Version: 4.13.32
✓ Great camera!I love the garmen app! The camera is amazing if I go over a bump or hit something it will immediately start recording. There is a save button on the side so u can save anything! The only thing is if you turn off your car it doesn’t stay on. It will turn off to save power. Other than that the app is very easy to use and you can assess the footage. Just make sure you save it from the app to your phone otherwise it will delete in a couple of days, so you don’t use up all your storage. The footage and the audio is clear!.Version: 4.23.28
✓ Gets stuck in parking guardLove the camera and App as I’ve been using it for a few months with the Garmin constant power supply cable I bought…and it’s installed in my vehicle. The only problem I have had is when the camera begins to count down to activate parking guard. It gets stuck on 3-2-1 and stays on 1 for days and cannot be shutdown or powered off. I have to take it back into the house, connect it to the power cable in the box and restart. So hopefully this next software update will rectify this issue because it seems there’s a lot of other people posting about this same issue on Reddit and in other forums. For now, I simply shut off Parking Guard🤷♀️..Version: 4.23.32
✓ Wonderful!I was a bit sceptical about this app but need not have been. It works very well and never gave any issues that I could see. For the navigation etc. it is a VERY useful addition. This trip around Florida USA I had a Tom Tom device that actually took me down a road when I requested no toll roads. I bought the farming and it with this app was flawless. Recommended….Version: 4.19.38
✓ Easy to useEasy to use connects to Garmin easily and smoothly.Version: 4.18.50
✓ Great Simple App To UseWorks well. Seamless, Bluetooth connects on startup every time, seamlessly. Compared to the Mivue Pro equivalent, it is so much better. Adresses sent instantly starts being calculated and appears on my DriveSmart 66 instantly, without needing to interact with the device. Even better when you’re a delivery driver. 10/10.Version: 4.18.49
✓ LGV 1000Works great but the start up time in the morning is annoying,you think they would fix it?.Version: 4.17.24
✓ It does everything you need very wellNight a Garmin camera for the car and very pleased how easy it is to trim clips on camera before exporting to my device. Another great Garmin product v.Version: 4.13.32
✓ Made truck driving the more enjoyableWhat can I say about this app!, I use it with a garmin lgv1000. I can look up any company on google maps have a good look at entry points, then drop a pin and share to pin location to this app the app then sends the information to my satnav. It’s not let me down yet!!.Version: 4.16.26
✓ Good app and easy to useGood and clear app to use. Simple and accurate. Wish there was a history button in the app though that links with the device. Would be handy..Version: 4.22.14
✓ Shebin LeeAwesome camera 😊. Perfect one for Uber drivers👍.Version: 4.20.25
✓ Dash cam mini from garminSo easy to use ..plug the card in format it and fix the camera in to place and your good to go with Instant high quality recording..I brought one for the front of my car and was So impressed with the Garmin dash cam mini that I brought another one for the rear window of my car..Faultless 👍😊.Version: 4.11.12
✓ My GarminI have had the Garmin for about a year and haven’t got lost, well not very lost😏. I drove over the road for 25 years and got used to following a map so there isn’t many problems going forward. I do like to see my ball and camping trailer ball reciever when I try to hook to it. Makes life easy when i get underway for a couple of hours and Garmin asks if I need a break then gives a list on what lays ahead. I have the “40” backup camera which needs 2 double A batterys. I’m still on my first pair..Version: 4.19.37
✓ Garmin is the bestI’m very satisfied.Version: 4.23.29
✓ Works for meI read the mixed reviews and got a little worried but this has worked for me since the download after unboxing and setting up. I haven’t needed to save footage yet but the trimming and export functions seem straight forward..Version: 4.13.30
✓ DEZL OTR700 Truck GPSI honestly was going to buy a Rand Mcnally but then I heard from a manager that works on Love’s Truck stop and said that Rand Mcnally have a lot of returns but the Garmins doesn’t have any returns. Then I decided to give a try at the Garmin DEZL OTR700 and honestly it blow my mind with so many features that the GPS can offer for truckers. If you are a trucker or even someone that it’s looking to buy a GPS for the car. I recommend 100% the GPS have both features for truck & car routing. Greay buy honestly! If you want to buy it go to a Love’s travel center since they have discounts..Version: 4.13.32
✓ Clear maps and good functionalityI do not use all the functions but as a map with clear directions I find it good. The notice of approaching speed limit changes is good along with speed tracking . When i bought it new, it developed a fault that was quickly rectified and been fine since then..Version: 4.22.18
✓ Reliable and easyReliable and easy to use. Far exceeded my expectations, after experiencing so many awful apps to control household appliances and the like. A very practical app. Kudus to the developers and UI designers..Version: 4.13.32
✓ Good camera overallGreat picture quality with the Garvin Mini2. The lens filter I had to order separately, which I believe should be included with the camera. I wish it downloaded the videos onto my phone permanently, instead of only being able to access them from the memory chip on the camera. I can’t download them onto my laptop, but dragging my laptop out to the car is a pain in the neck. And removing the camera from the windshield to bring inside, it’s also not convenient. I’m looking forward to getting a second camera for the rearview, and see how the system works with multiple cameras. Overall very good system for the money..Version: 4.17.24
✓ Garman Car GPSThis is my second Garman GPS. The 2nd one is much better. The screen display quality, audio quality, the instructions before intersection, exit, lane merge or split, etc are clear and give driver enough time to adjust. Some old model’s instructions were little bit too late. Another new feature is Bluetooth connection which makes updating map much easier. The only con is the GPS is a little foo chatty..Version: 4.22.25
✓ Can useTook a while to figure out. But I now using the cam properly. Thanks.Version: 4.23.29
✓ GoodGood.Version: 4.22.15
