Customer Ratings & Reviews

GPS, decent angle of view, small (fits easily out of view behind mirror) to start recording where allowed as per state law to deal with those drivers on the road with ... skills. Further to record in timelapse the nice sunday and holiday drives. Good to start with and will move to the rear once a 1440P or better 2160P model of the 65W becomes available. Bought one for my brother as well as and gave him a 16GB card and USB adapter stick. 64GB cards though recommended to have a longer archive

Well designed and low-key. Easy to set up. Info shown on playback video includes date, time, GPS location (accurate longitude and latitude), and driving speed; users can choose which data to be included. It also records audio, again users can choose to turn it on or off. Pictures can be taken anytime during video recording, and it comes with a function of creating time-lapse videos. Picture quality is 1080P, good enough for personal use. Have been using it for about 10 trips so far, the average memory card usage is 4.3 GB per hour of recording. It comes with a 8-GB memory card, need to replace it with 32- or 64-GB cards for longer trips. It can accept up to 64 GB micro SD card. Data transfer to computer via cable is easy, or users can use its App to download saved videos to smart phones. The camera itself sends out Wifi signals, and the signal strength is displayed on screen as you drive around. Overall, it is a great dash camera for personal use.

Built in gps and collision warnings and lane warning this is the best camera for the money hands down get the park assist cable and it’s complete

I went to Best Buy really looking for any inexpensive dash cam to use on a week long Jeep trip. This was on sale and had the Garmin name on it so I was sold. This dash camera more than met my needs. Installation and operation are easy. I put a spare 64GB microSD in it (that's the max size it will take) and that will more than suffice. The video is crisp and sounds are recorded with it. You will have the date, time, GPS coordinates and speed on the display. I like the travel time lapse feature. The two hour, 17 minute trip from Assateague Island to Virginia Beach yielded a 2 minute, 37 second video I could post. Although I really love this camera I gave it four stars. To get the videos off the microSD card in a usable format you have to use the Garmin VIRB app. Because the recording is saved in one minute chunks the app has to compile the clips into a video in order to save it to another device. The compiling does take a long time so make sure the dash cam is plugged into a power source. Despite this, I intend to upgrade to the Dash Cam 65 and give the 45 to my wife.

Love the miniature size and fits onto windshield. Has alarms beeping for warning you too close or red light camera which is a plus. Has GPS built in and video quality is great. Easy to install

Gps features are a plus. Don't expect to be able to actually read them real time however. Passenger could however.

Great video quality and connects to your phone. Awesome thing about this is that it has a gps that tracks you and let’s you know when there is a seeps camera or red light camera.

lack Keep extra eyes on the road with this GPS-enabled Garmin dash cam. It records high-quality images in HD or Full HD, and its built-in Wi-Fi lets you share captured footage with friends via the VIRB...

It’s what I was looking for a dash cam with gps. Very nice

really good quality and features for the price , you can share video from the camera to the phone by an app, Kind like gopro. overall great !

The Garmin 45 Dash Cam is a good dash cam with many features. Some of the features such as crash avoidance and lane keeping could be more sensitive. The GPS feature is good to document location and time. Should come with extra mounting disc so it could be used on different vehicles in the family.

This is actually my first dash cam. I like the builtin gps for current speed and location. Works great

Honestly I would say that this is one of the best inventions ever. It’s worth every dollar spent.
