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.
What's New

User Reviews
Why does it take so long to review and export a short clip? This is terrible and wastes a lot of time for a simple job
Works perfect
OUTSTANDING DEVICE AND GPS GUIDANCE!!!
Simple easy
App SUCKS NOW i know you want subscriptions all paid now but this app is horrible and freezes constantly 2 days i have been trying to clear data from my DASH CAMERA i sure hope i dont need in a pinch if something BAD HAPPENS
Had no issues on my iPhone, then suddenly won’t connect to 3 different mini-2’s in 3 different vehicles.
Oh my goodness, I just started using this app and it sends my routes to my main Garmin GPS, gives me live updates. I wish I knew about this app in my earlier trucking years. Thank you
The app is great, easy to use and work with. The instructions are simple and legible. The video camera storage is good, but it works better to download if you connect the sd card directly to a sd card reader than downloading over mobile data
very disappointed that i can’t get it to connect on iphone 17 pro max needs to be something done about this!!!!
Genuinely the worst app I’ve ever dealt with. Won’t connect to anything. Can’t even look at my footage. Don’t recommend it
Awesome!!
So fare it works as described, love the fact I can manage the videos threw my phone vrse the old fashioned way of pulling the card and putting it into a laptop!
