For navigators that are compatible, the Garmin Drive app offers real-time information on traffic, parking, advanced weather, and photoLive traffic cameras. It also provides smart notifications from your Bluetooth-enabled mobile device.
For dash cams that are compatible, the Garmin Drive app allows for easy access to camera controls, settings, and recorded footage. With the Dash Cam Auto Sync feature, up to four dash cams can be wirelessly connected, providing comprehensive coverage around your vehicle with multiple camera viewpoints.

Connect Garmin Speak to your vehicle's stereo using Bluetooth® or AUX to stream the audio (music and other responses) through your stereo.
