Real-time services on the road
Get real-time information on traffic conditions, available parking spaces and rates, and fixed and moving danger zones. Download the Smartphone Link app, which lets you connect your Garmin DriveSmart to your compatible smartphone. This saves you from circling around looking for a parking space and makes it easier to get to your destination quickly. The Smartphone Link app also lets you activate LiveTrack2, the feature that lets you share your location with friends, so they can follow you when you're shopping around town or going on a long trip.
All the convenience of a connected GPS
When you sync your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone with your Garmin DriveSmart device, you get convenient features for staying connected without taking your hands off the wheel. Make hands-free calls and receive Smart Notifications (SMS, email, voicemail, etc.) on your GPS screen.
Control your GPS by voice
Keep your eyes on the road. Garmin DriveSmart features voice-activated navigation. Enter an address by voice without having to fiddle with it or take your eyes off the road.
Integrated Wi-Fi for even easier map updates
Map updates are a breeze with built-in Wi-Fi. When a new update is available and you're on your home wireless network, a notification automatically appears on the screen. Then simply plug your GPS into a power outlet and start the update via Wi-Fi while your device charges. Once the update is complete, you're ready to hit the road.
More safety with Garmin Driver Alerts
To improve driving safety and driver alertness, Garmin DriveSmart provides alerts for dangerous turns, speed zone changes, railroad crossings and animal crossings. In addition, GPS alerts you when you're driving the wrong way in a one-way lane and alerts you when you're approaching schools. Get notifications of fixed and moving danger zones7 and receive fatigue alerts8 that suggest rest stops after hours of continuous driving.
Your Garmin connected watch becomes an extension of your GPS
By pairing your GPS with your Garmin connected watch (sold separately), you can receive navigation directions directly to your wrist-even when your car is parked and you're already on your way to your destination. With your connected watch, you'll never lose your car in a crowded parking lot again. Simply follow the directions your watch receives from your parked car and find your spot in no time.
TripAdvisor® enriches your travels
It's always nice to get advice when you don't know a region well. That's why we've integrated TripAdvisor into our Garmin DriveLuxe GPS. Check out what many users have to say about the hotels, restaurants, and places of interest on your route or near your destination. Enjoy the world's largest travel site right in your car, so the stops along the way count as much as the final destination.
More realistic guidance with Garmin Real Directions™
Rediscover voice guidance with Garmin Real Directions, which uses real-world landmarks, like buildings and traffic lights in addition to street names, and guides you as a friend next to you would. No more squinting to read street name signs. Just listen to Garmin Real Directions: "Turn past the gas station. "or "Turn past the red building. ». You'll find that following directions has never been easier.
Garmin Backup Camera Compatible
To give you a complete navigation solution, Garmin DriveSmart pairs with the BC™ 30 Wireless Backup Camera (sold separately; professional installation recommended). Once the camera is connected, you can clearly see potential vehicles, pedestrians or other obstacles on the Garmin DriveSmart screen when backing up.
High-quality mapping
