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.

App works okay, but not great. It doesn't seem to be able to take addresses shared from another app (eg maps or a calendar) even though the same address share functionality works perfectly with other navigation apps. I reported it to tech support a month or so ago, and although they were aware of it, there still hasn't been a fix. Please fix this basic feature. Also, occasionally pairing gets broken between the phone and GPS. Can't simply re-pair. Had to reinstall app per tech support. Clunky.

The Garmin dashcam mini 2 cameras and this app are terrible, whole chunks of video are missing and the app cannot even show what is there, it's faster to just pull it with a microSD reader. Wanted to pull footage from a drive and the rear camera is missing over 15 min, and what is there has the wrong time overlayed. The app constantly disconnects from the cameras so you cannot watch or trim 2 min of video. both cams updated to latest firmware, makes no difference. Stay away from Garmin products

Unfortunately this app is not up to par with the other Garmin apps I've used in the past. I recently purchased a Garmin tandem and set it up. The app will connect to the camera device and I can start to select videos to export but after selecting it's not clear how to just download the raw video files. There's a slow and confusing process to trim the video and export it and this process always fails over wifi. it has been 2 months and I can't find a way to download the videos yet.
