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.

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.

Can't search by postcode or put a pin on the map to go there. Basic functionality. Poor. Need to touch on map and go there. It's that simple. Got worse after latest update. No maps at all now. Abysmal. Also complely get lost with the totally unwanted dark mode do not want!

Alexa connectivity through Garmin Drive is not compatible with Android 16. It causes Drive to crash and the whole Drive app goes gray. It makes the connected sound, and the Garmin devices flash all systems go, but Alexa doesn't respond to commands or her wake word. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times, cleared my app cache, cleared my app data. It does not work on Android 16. So now I have to connect my phone directly to my radio in my cars and look at my phone to skip songs.
