Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy set up, great pict., clear pict., size is good.

So far, our cam works well. We have yet to check out recordings. We did upgrade our recorder chip, from 4 to 32 GB micro-SD card.

Bought this to enhance my ability to report any accidents. Someone backed into me in the parking lot not one minute after first installing the camera (after the bracket cured 24 hours). Although hit in the side, and without enough force to cause the camera to save the event, I manually saved it, and even though the camera was pointed forward, my car lurched slightly and this was recorded, along with my speed, proving that I was stopped. The offending insurance company accepted full responsibility! Unusual, my insurance company stated, as "in parking lot backing accidents, the responsibility is usually shared". My camera paid for itself in the first minute of use! I was also pleasantly surprised on the quality of the computer-played video. I ordered another windshield mount and power cord to use it in my Motor coach while on trips. I do not recommend using the Garmin dash cam player, as it deletes the video file from the camera when you upload files: Windows "lost" some of mine! Instead, just plug the memory card into your computer and play and save the file like it came from any other digital camera.

I bought this unit a few weeks ago, and so far it works very well. Once in a while for unexplained reasons, the the monitor screen goes white, or more accurately, bright gray with no image present. At those times, I have to disconnect power for about 20 seconds and then re-plug it in to the power and it seems to reset itself. Other than that, it works very well. Resolution is good, and color is good, although not quite as vivid, better saturated and beautiful as my Kdlinks-X1. But my Kdlinks isn't as easily mounted in my car as the Garmin, so it's not being used at present. Otherwise, this Garmin unit works well and should be more than satisfying for most users.

We did a permanently wired installation in our vehicle, and that all worked well. However, attempting to become really proficient with the device has proven to be difficult. The included manual is almost nothing. The on-line manual is only slightly better. The manual states, for example, that the camera will support a 64BB memory card. But, it turns our, according to Garmin, that you cannot format the 64GB card in the camera. It will format a max of 32. Garmin says the card has to be formatted on a Mac, which I don't have. I went back to Best Buy to ask for help, and they wanted $50 to format the card. Poor response! We will figure this out, of course. But when we went to buy another dashcam for another car, we did not buy it from BestBuy and we did not buy Garmin. The above is the biggest gap I have found. However, the menu operation on the Garmin is non-standard, and there is nothing in the manual to help with this. Sure, we figured it out eventually. But, this is problem, in my opinion, that we should not have to deal with.

The garman 35 is a very good camera. The camera records in either one min sections or it can record constantly, the picture is clear and the 3 inch screen is good for viewing.

Overall I'm satisfied with this. Video quality is awesome, even at night. There's some delay before the recording starts after it's on. The collision warning is also useless.

I bought this one to replace an older version of Garmin. It is really great. Easy to put in favorites. Advanced notice and pictures of upcoming exits which I really needed. Easy to find gas stations, places to eat, shopping, etc from any location.

I bought this for my husband and it needed to be convenient and easy to use. It is fantastic! Quick and easy set-up. Easy to put in and take out if vehicle. Great video quality and safety features function. Would highly recommend.

This camera is worth the money. Works great in all light situations.

Even if you do not buy this model, buy a DASH CAMERA! I was recently in an accident with a women who went through a light and have had nothing but legal headaches for the past six months!

The easiest to use dashcam I have. You simply plug it in and forget about it. It handles everything automatically and you never have to worry about the memory card since it records over your last ride.

battery life could be better but the Quality of HD video is very good.

Easy set up, small discreet mount. Accident avoidance feature is too sensitive, so I turned it off.

Bought it for my newly licensed daughters car. Works very well good quality and intuitive to use.

My wife and I were talking about buying these cameras for our cars 2 days before I had an incident where I was passing 2 cars doing 25 in a 45 MPH zone and the first car pulled into my passenger side forcing me to drive of the road (to miss her) into the snow bank causing me to spin out and hit car in front of her. Unfortunately the police officer said it was my word against her's and because I missed her and she was not directly struck, I was blamed for the entire accident. (My first accident in 63 years. Thankfully I had accident forgiveness.) We now have cameras in both cars and that will never happen to us again. These cameras have worked flawlessly since we installed them.

So far so good, mounted easily on my windshield behind the rear view mirror, you can't even see it! Kinda small so when you handle it you wind up taking pictures and videos you don't intend too because you touch side buttons. Uses a lot of battery power, so I keep mine plugged in and the cord hanging is kind of in the way. For that price I wish it had a two way camera.

I like the bigger screen, easier to view. Easy set up . so far no problems.

I have a long commute and use this for safety purposes in case of an accident. Picture is clear, you can zoom in while viewing the video in case you need to enlarge a license plate no or such. Love that it has no sound capability as I don't want it to record myself cursing out other drivers :) Turned off the sound for the forward collision alert as it was annoying and my car already has that feature. The size of the micro sd card is too small. I would recommend you purchase a larger one. You don't need to fuss with it. It turns on and off with the car. I would buy this again.

It's got high quality of video recording capabilities. Linked to a GPS for where you are/were while recording. Fairly simple format of options of recording. Doesn't record sound. If your music is too loud it will CONSTANTLY 'saving video' from just the bass frequencies. THATS annoying.
