Finding places too difficult.
plug and play
The search option is horrid. It will only find “Nearby locations”. Put a distant city name only in the search and the app will only find nearby streets with the name in it. Have put several full address (copied and paste from apple and google maps) in the search and it can’t find them.
Apple CarPlay

This app is not compatible with Apple CarPlay. So I have to have to access my phone directly to enable the app.
Bluetooth connectivity

After downloading software update on gps, Bluetooth will no longer connect to my phone. I bought the proper cord for live traffic. That doesn’t work. Make your services and products work please?
Waste of space on phone.

I mean why do you even need this useless app. This is buggy confusing and doesn’t work et al. It could be great if I have this app and I could just lunch Google map to this app and it can show me on the device without much fuss. Just simply mirror Google maps directions on the device directly or via this app. That could make it more easier. Even if I save next direction on the app that doesn’t show up on the screen. They are still like ving in 90s. Now a days itinerary plans change fast so they must have lot easier options to quickest possible way to feed info and get going without making complicated nonsense. AppStore should remove this app because the customer satisfaction is just 2 stars. AppStore must warn developers that if they won’t give attention then due to low quality of app and reviews they will remove app in 2 weeks. That way these developers would keep their butts up to provide quality.
Just retire this app already!

Every time I go to look at the traffic map, the app crashes. Every single time. If you uninstall it, good luck getting the app to pair with your phone again! Why is there not a simple option to use traffic without all the other features? Features that every car made in the last 20 years has, like hands free calling and notifications and the like? I just need the ability to use the traffic features without all the features that my base model car has being duplicated! Garmin should just make my DriveSmart61 (just a couple of years old) and all other models made in the last couple of years compatible with Garmin Drive app. Then retire this dumpster fire. And include a FM/HD receiver cable with ALL your automotive GPSs. Even the cheap ones had one included 10 years ago!
Sorry , not sorry

I’ve been hesitant to write a review about my experience with this app. It’s just horrible. The app just refuses to connect. I bought the weather and traffic at $5.29 each regrettably. I’ve watched all the videos on the support page to no avail. My phone is connected to my Garmin dezl 780 but this app will not connect. I’d love a refund, I don’t want the hassle. As an OTR driver it might have been nice to see how functional the features this app offers are. I certainly cannot recommend .
Still needs refinement.

Good idea, but needs fine tuning. Been running this for a couple of years now with my Dezl 780. The app frequently loses Bluetooth connection or will pause and not update the location. Tech support consists of a couple of web pages that essentially tell you to consult your phone’s operating instructions if you’re having issues.
Bad connection
