Garmin Drive™: Your Ultimate Navigator
Garmin Drive™ offers a user-friendly interface and reliable GPS navigation that enhances every driving experience, making it an essential tool for travelers.
The Garmin Drive™ app is a straightforward and convenient app solution for the latest Garmin automotive navigators and dash cams. To see which devices are compatible, you can visit garmin.com/driveapp.
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. The app even lets you create a "picture-in-picture" video from any two perspectives simultaneously, making it a breeze to review and share videos with friends, insurance agencies, or legal authorities.
Garmin Speak™ and Garmin DriveSmart™ 65 with Amazon Alexa are two Garmin products that bring the convenience of Amazon Alexa to your vehicle. By simply asking Alexa, you can enjoy music, news, and more while benefiting from Garmin's reliable turn-by-turn navigation. Connect Garmin Speak to your vehicle's stereo using Bluetooth® or AUX to stream the audio (music and other responses) through your stereo.
For older Bluetooth-capable Garmin navigators, you can use the Garmin Smartphone Link app. Likewise, older Wi-Fi-enabled Garmin dash cams can access video footage through the Garmin VIRB app.
