Barely functional – Garmin Smartphone Link Review

The only addresses you can send the the nav from the app are: nearby searches, nearby Foursquare searches, and saved address from your contacts. Need to search a hotel 3 cities away and send address to nav? Can’t do it. Friends your meeting two hours away send you the address of where to meet them. Just copy and paste into the app you say and send it to my nav....you would be WRONG. There is no way to do that. Instead Garmin expects me to stand/sit at my MC maybe in the rain and search or manually enter address directly into my Nav VI unit...all without even a full keyboard requiring many more keystrokes. There is more functionality in all of the free NAV apps then in the $1k unit I purchased with my MC. Don’t be an idiot...Don’t be me and by the stand-alone Nav VI with your MC. Garmin is way behind even free apps like WAZE.
