    The camera quality was good, but the processing was slow. With that price it could have been better. Also the GPS should have been provided with every camera.

    Best product for your money. I would go out and deepen the extra $50-$75 for the screen. Navigating with is easy. Using the app and installation is a breeze.

    Compact camera with good video quality. Good enough to see who's at fault, but maybe not too grab license plate details at night. Works great for my use case. Setting it up was quick and easy as well.

    I expected better from a company, such as Garmin. I like the simplicity in futures this offers however it’s unreliable and has a lot of bug. Using the app is so slow it’s unusable and there customer support is a the same. It works as cheap insurance, though as I’ve checked the SD card and it seems to be recording.

    The camera is a nice size ane pic but thats about it, you have to manually connect to wifi every time you get in the car, also it keeps asking you to subscibe to a service to upload your videos to the cloud, very annoying, you also need to be connected to wifi to upload any videos to your phone, my other dash cam automatically downlaod videos to my phone without me doing anything, also it connected to my phone also..

    I'm still getting used to it but like the small size so it doesn't block the driver view. I'm not tech savvy to figure out all the features on my phone but I'm pleased with it.

    Better than expected performance. A few slight issues—replaced an older model and uses a different cord so had to run this one through; also, bigger (width) so mount had to be moved further from the mirror. These slight inconveniences do not outweigh the performance over the older ones.

    We have the Garmin mini 2 in our other vehicles and they have been great over the last four years. My Cobra SC201 dash cam went down so I figured the Garmin mini 3 would be an upgrade and so far it’s been amazing. Easy connect to the app for live view and takes up less space on the windshield. It’s a must have these days.

    The "mini" series dash cams are great camersa for concealment but as MANY others have complained, not so good with the application (bluetooth connection). GARMIN needs to create a CarPlay compatible application with easier connection features. Although we know that fumbling with the phone app is a no-no we do it anyway...thats why we NEED a CarPlay application! Give us a new application that works!!! DRIVE stinks...

    Absolute garbage DO NOT BUY. I have the garmin 2 in my car and it works great purchased the garmin 3 for my wife’s new car and had to return it after 2 days of trying to get it to work properly and reaching out to customer support multiple times would not record must of the times unless I unplugged it and plugged it back in just a big headache.
