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.

What a clunky garbage app. This app must've been developed in the early 2000's. Constantly having issues connecting to live feed thru wifi... when you want to watch a saved video it has to connect thru wifi which sucks. The app has to connect thru wifi and Bluetooth. Should I also get an ethernet cable!? Make a real nice app. Expensive products for poor app support, get a clue.

REQUIRES an account just to connect to your own local BT/wifi device and change simple settings. Rediculous. Basically forced to do so if you want to fully use your Mini dash cam. If Garmin servers stop working this means you have no control of your own device. But it's ok, you'll own nothing and be happy. The PC app is fine for software updates and doesn't have the account requirement, but you can't change settings. Dumb.

I love Garmin devices, have their Fenix series watch, RV GPS and several dash cams. I'm guessing though they should probably outsource their app. It is clunky, very slow to connect and on my most recent purchase of a new Garmin 57 series dash cam It will not connect no matter how hard I try. Phone says it's paired, camera says it's connected, but it will not show up in the app to connect to it in the app so while it's connected everywhere it won't work.. just need to plug into computer to update
