plus camera-assisted driver alerts that help keep an eye out for you.
The future is on your Garmin. Just look ahead and drive.
Built-in Dash Cam
For an eyewitness account when you need it most, Garmin DriveAssist
comes with a compact, built-in dash camera that continuously records
your drive, with optional in-vehicle audio recording. The Incident
Detection G-sensor will automatically save video footage on impact. GPS
records exactly when and where the events occurred. A replaceable
microSD™ card is included, and you can easily play back video footage
right on the device. Or use our free VIRB® app to watch footage later
on your compatible smartphone or tablet.
Live Services for Your Drive
Outsmart traffic jams with time-saving alternate routes or by avoiding
them altogether. Then, with live information, spend less time searching
for a parking space. For traffic alerts, relevant rerouting directions
and up-to-date weather forecasts, download the Smartphone Link app,
which connects your Garmin DriveAssist navigator with your compatible
smartphone. As you near your destination, take the stress out of
parking by viewing pricing and availability trends for on-street public
parking. The Smartphone Link app also enables LiveTrack², which lets
drivers share their location so friends can track your whereabouts
whether you are running errands around town or taking a long road trip.
Camera-Assisted Driver Alerts
Take advantage of innovative driver awareness features available only
on Garmin DriveAssist. When your car is stopped in traffic, the “Go”
Alert notifies you when traffic in front of you has started to move.
The Forward Collision Warning5 alerts if you’re driving too closely to
the vehicle ahead, and if you drift off the road or into oncoming
traffic, receive Lane Departure Warning5 alerts. Easily navigate hard
to read house numbers, thanks to the Garmin Real Vision™ feature. When
you approach address destinations, your navigation display will switch
to a camera view, showing a bright arrow that points to where you need
to go.
Putting the Smart in Smart Connectivity
When you sync your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone to Garmin DriveAssist,
you get great features that let you stay connected without taking your
hands off the wheel. Make hands-free phone calls and receive
customisable smart notifications6 on your navigator’s display. That
means you can see incoming calls, text messages and calendar reminders
without even having to reach for your phone.
Voice-activated Navigation
Need directions? Just say the word. Garmin DriveAssist features
voice-activated navigation that responds to your commands and then
navigates to where you need to go.
Wi-Fi Keeps You up to Date
We make it easy to keep your maps and software up to date now that the
Garmin DriveAssist navigator features built-in Wi-Fi. When a new update
is available and you’re on your wireless home network, you’ll
automatically receive an onscreen notification. That’s your cue to plug
your device into any outlet and let it update over Wi-Fi while it
charges. Then you’ll be ready to hit the road again.
Driver Alerts: Know Your Surroundings
To encourage safer driving and increase situational awareness, Garmin
DriveAssist provides driver alerts for sharp curves, speed changes,
railway crossings and animal crossings. Additionally, the navigator
will warn you when driving the wrong way on a one-way street and alert
you to nearby schools and school zones. Receive notifications for
nearby red light cameras and speed cameras8, and even get fatigue
warnings that suggest potential rest areas after several hours of
driving.
More Navigation from Your Garmin
Smartwatch
When you pair this navigator with your compatible Garmin smartwatch
(sold separately), you can receive navigation right on your wrist, even
after you’ve parked your car and are walking toward your destination.
Also get helpful driver alerts on your watch. Don’t worry about losing
your car in a crowded car park; your smartwatch provides compass
guidance from your parked vehicle to your destination and back to your
vehicle again.
Incident Notifications
Give yourself and your loved ones a little peace of mind by knowing
that if an incident occurs, they’ll be promptly notified. Just
designate your chosen contact, and they will automatically receive a
text message4 unless you cancel the message prompt before it sends. The
text notification includes a map link to where the incident occurred.
Recap the Ride with Travelapse
Use the built-in dash cam to create a cool video of your next road
trip. The Travelapse feature captures your long, scenic driving footage
and lets you use the free VIRB app on your compatible smartphone to
create a short video recap. After that, it’s easy to share on social
media to relive the memories again and again.
Road Trips Just Got Better with
TripAdvisor
When you’re not familiar with the area, it’s nice to have something to
point you in the right direction. That’s why we’re bringing TripAdvisor
to your Garmin DriveAssist navigator. View ratings for travel points of
interest, such as hotels, restaurants and attractions, along your route
or near your destination. From the world’s largest travel site directly
to your car, we’re helping you find the stops that make the entire
journey part of the destination. Also locate new attractions with the
built-in Trip Planner tool, which adds fun to road trips by suggesting
interesting stops along the way.
Friendly Guidance from Garmin Real
Directions
Redefine “spoken turn-by-turn” directions with Garmin Real Directions.
Our easy-to-understand driving directions use recognisable landmarks,
buildings and traffic lights in addition to spoken street names,
guiding you as if your best friend is sitting in the passenger seat. No
more squinting to read distant street signs. Just listen for Garmin
Real Directions to tell you, “Turn left after the petrol station,” or
“Turn right after the red building.” Following directions has never
been easier.
Works with Garmin Backup Camera
For a complete navigation solution, Garmin DriveAssist pairs with the
BC™ 30 Wireless Backup Camera (sold separately; professional
installation recommended). Once connected, you can easily see vehicles,
pedestrians and other obstacles right on the Garmin DriveAssist display
as you move in reverse.
High Quality Maps
The quality of map data can make all the difference between finding
your destination and getting lost. High-quality HERE map data enables
your Garmin device to provide you with the information you need, when
you need it most - reducing the frustrations of driving by avoiding
delays and cutting down the time you spend in your car.
