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.

Really appalling now. It was fine until a recent update. Now it's not connecting our Avtec Tourer 2 to my fully updated Google Pixel 7 phone. We rely heavily on this to not only keep us up to date with traffic, but also make sure our route keeps us on safe roads for our motorhome. We've been away this weekend and had no connection from Garmin Drive to the sat nav, but the sat nav was also failing to connect to the rear camera. Really appalling for this to happen since an update to the Garmin app

This is a terrible app. Nothing in it makes any sense. It randomly removes videos that you're trying to look at and seems to merge and trim videos whilst reviewing them. I don't know what has happened to this app, it's never been good, but recent updates have made it completely unusable.

I usually don't leave 1 star reviews but this last update is horrible. I needed to access clips from my Garmin Dash Cam Mini 2 and after almost 1h I was never able to connect. It used to be painfully slow, but usually would work. This time, it would never connect via WiFi. I tried everything I could think (I'm a software engineer) and literally nothing worked. These dashcams are expensive, the software should work. This is unacceptable.
