★★☆☆☆
Very buggy app experience
My biggest issue was I could not get the garmin drive app to work with my phone (Android Pixel 3a). In order to view recorded videos on your phone or use the live view tool, you will NEED THE APP. Without it, you will only be able to view your recorded videos by taking out the SD card and plugging it directly to your computer. It worked randomly one time (so I know my settings are right) but it usually hangs in the "connecting to feed" screen. Beautifully designed dash cam but horrible app experience. ------------------------- Update 9/13/2021 Finally got the app to work. Works wonderfully but just wanted to warn others about the parking mode. The "parking mode" that is advertised works by having the dash plugged into your fuse box so it can receive constant power. Once it has constant power, you can set your dash to record while your vehicle is turned off for a set amount of time. For example, you can continue to record for 10, 20, or 30 minutes after you shut off your engine. Here is the issue. Lets say you leave your car unattended for 24 hours in a sketchy neighborhood. You set to record 24 hours after the car is turned off. By the time you get back to your car, most of your previous footage stored is most likely already written over (with 24 hours of parked footage) since it continuously records due to a lack of motion detection or vibration feature. Why on earth would I want 24 hours of parked footage when other dash cameras can easily record only when motion is detected??? Horrible design on Garmins part. Also for anyone wondering about overheating, IT DOES OVERHEAT under extreme conditions. I did a 7 hour roadtrip in 100 degree weather and received a warning that the dash camera is slowing down and it shut off by itself.
