Garmin Drive™

Connected tools for Garmin drivers

Garmin Drive™ is a companion app for compatible Garmin navigation devices and dash cams. It suits drivers who want traffic, parking and weather information alongside their Garmin hardware, as well as users who need an easier way to manage footage from one or more cameras. The app is listed in the Auto & Vehicles category and has more than 1,000,000 installs.

Live information on the road

When paired with a supported Garmin navigator, the app can provide live traffic, parking and weather updates. It also supports smart notifications, allowing calls, text messages and other app alerts to appear on the compatible navigator through Bluetooth. This keeps key information available without requiring the driver to handle the phone as often.

Dash cam management

Garmin Drive™ can connect with compatible Garmin dash cams and manage footage from up to four cameras. Users can review recordings from different viewpoints and combine video from two cameras in a picture-in-picture layout. That can be useful when checking an incident, saving a record of a journey or preparing footage to share.

Voice features and user feedback

Support for Garmin Speak™ with Amazon Alexa adds hands-free access to compatible voice features, including navigation-related requests, music and news. The app is developed by Garmin and holds a rating of 3.97 out of 5 from 22,881 reviews. Its usefulness depends on owning compatible Garmin equipment, so it is mainly intended as a hardware companion rather than a standalone navigation app.
