Works great

Works great with my Garmin 61. No complaints

Works ok

Suddenly started working. Must’ve been an update on the Garmin unit itself that fixed my broken connection. Works ok but wish traffic data was as good as Googles.

Running iOS 13.3 and decided to purchase the Advanced Weather for my Garmin Dezl. I am disappointed in the reliability of this app since I drive a semi in the Southern, Mid and Northeastern USA. Notifications are scarce, if any at all. Not getting any radar data. Mostly a blank map. So, with that Garmin, you need to keep up with your updates and on top of Apple’s updates as well. Get your PAID apps to work as they should and stop blaming Apple for your programming failures. My other radar app products work fine and will have to be my resource for planning my routes. Wish I could get my money back on this one Garmin!!!

Does NOT WORK on nuvi2959

I connect the phone via Bluetooth to device. Get confirmation it connects on both phone and device. App won’t see the connection and says get within Bluetooth range.

Irritating

When it works, it’s great; displays incoming calls, messages, and email, and also provides traffic updates and reroutes. However, this app constantly loses connectivity with the garmin, requiring “forgetting” Bluetooth devices on both the phone and garmin, and the need to delete and reinstall the app .... WTH!!!! Why is there no button in the app that would require a tap, in order to reconnect with the garmin. Infuriating and frustrating. Fix puleeeese!

Not as good as Android version

Cannot share or send location from google maps to the DEZL. The DEZL can’t find anything you have to use google maps and then send it to the Garmin. HERE maps are awful.

What’s the issue

I’m a truck driver and I have your latest dezl system with cam. Your app completely doesn’t work with iPhone. You guys need to step up your IT crew and get this taken care of. I no longer receive traffic updates or my paid add ons don’t work. Very disappointed.

The app is junk

I have an iPhone XS Max. I downloaded the Garmin Smartlink app and it worked great for 2 days and now it won’t pair with my Garmin GPS. My Garmin 780 dezl GPS has been a great device for being a truck driver but with all the technology in the world they (Garmin) still can’t make an app that works consistently. Pathetic.

Not impressed

I drive a truck. Dropped $395 on the dezl and it honestly was a waste of money. The list of things wrong with Garmins maps is a long one. Missing scales, wrong speeds, bad directions.... it goes on and on. Not impressed. This app is another example. Loses connection, won’t pair, have to pair 2 and 3 times a day. And they think they make self driving vehicles? ? They can’t make an app and a hard unit work right. Thanks for the waste of $400 bucks ??

No connection

I have had this version of Garmin for two weeks and have yet to be able to link up to my phone for real-time info. Calls work just fine though.
