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.

We use these cameras in our semi-trucks. Picture and video quality are good. The app is easy to use, but the cameras and the app lose connection for days. I often have consistent issues pulling location, live video, and vault storage. After using this product with a paid subscription I'm very disappointed. We are moving on to a different dash camera.

Trying to connect to a Dashcam is a crapshoot. You can never rely on it to connect. The app's battery usage on my phone is also unacceptable. It sometimes hits up to 15% usage in 24 hours just while in the background. UPDATE 8/26/22: It's somehow gotten worse. Now the app only connects to the stream from the cameras maybe 2 out of 10 tries. This is legitimately a bad app.

Using the app with Gamin Mini 3. The idea of viewing and exporting seamless footage is good. However both the preview and the export are painfully slow. Plus the export sometimes produces incomplete footage (missing a few seconds in the middle). Please allow viewing and downloading individual clips as they are recorded by the dash cam, i.e. without stitching them.
