Once you own a Garmin DriveCam 76 you will gain confidence of knowing that you have documentation of your travels in case of a driving incident. This being just one feature of the “76”. The vary accurate point to point directions provides enormous advantages especially in heavy traffic. Other features are “Ok Garmin “ hands free instruction, speed limit information, lane departure. Once you owne your “76” discover many other features.

Overall, this is an awesome Garmin GPS. The only point of irritation that I have found is with the sensitivity of lane changes. I receive lane change warnings at inappropriate times while moving and NOT drifting between the lines. Otherwise this is a great unit and a huge improvement over my previous Garmin GPS .

The GPS is good, as all my Garmin GPS units have been. But the camera lens is mounted in the center of the unit, making it unsuitable for use with a dash mount. Garmin knows this; if you look at their website, the Drivesmart 76 without the camera shows a dash mount as an available accessory. But with the camera, a dash mount no longer shows as an accessory. My old GPS, a Garmin Nuvicam, has the lens way off to the side, making it suitable for use with a windshield mount or a dash mount. Garmin, what were you thinking?

I've had many Garmin units in the past, all of them great. This one took over three hours to finally get to work properly, and now it is fine. EXCEPT the suction mount will not hold it on the windshield for more than a day or two before it falls off! I've cleaned it, checked it, but it still will not work for more than a day or two. My older units I could mount on dash pads, but the configuration of this one will not allow that as it will block the camera.

I recently bought the DriveCam 76 because of the screen size (7 inches) to replace my current DriveAssist 51. It is a very nice unit with plenty of features, not that much different than the DriveAssist 51. However, I am a bit disappointed, because the DriveCam 76 screen has frozen a few times which makes it not usable for navigation. I unplugged the unit and left it unplugged for awhile and plugged it back in and it restarted. Having the unit freeze on you when you need it, will not be ideal if you are in an unfamiliar area. I have notified Garmin about this issue. Overall, I like the unit and will recommend it, hopefully Garmin will clean up the bugs since it is a brand new unit in their line up.

Bought about a month ago to replace an older Garmin. Lots of good features like lane assist, collision avoidance. Navigates well but disappointed that two features from my older Garmin Nuvi 1350 can do were removed from the Drivecan 76. First, feature to avoid Toll Roads doesn't seem to be an option. I was in DC area and trying to avoid the Tolls as I didn't have an EZ-Pass and many toll booths are unmanned. Second feature that appears to be missing is Miles Remaining. We were doing cross country driving and its always helpful to know how many miles remain and not just simply arrival time. Tried to find options for both but don't seem to be in the documentation. Online documentation also lacking here.

Garmin DriveCam 76 I bought around April 2023. Bought Europe map, installed. It never work like as Waze does. Garmin DriveCam 76 Needs to reprogramming software. It always struggles find the destination. It’s useless . So much money I paid. Feel deceived.

I bought this about a month ago & I have to say it was a great Purchase. Bought it specifically for the GPS/Dash Cam Combo & it meets every expectation; especially the 7" screen as my eyes aren't as good as they used to be. The only problem is that this is the only GPS/Dash Cam combo that Garmin makes anymore for autos.

I'm somewhat frustrated with this device. I'm a person that refuses to be tied to a mental prison called a "Smart Phone". In order to access a number of features on this device, a smart phone is required. I'm not sure why, because it clearly has Wi-Fi capabilities. Basically, I have to have my wife or kids on board with their phones in order to plug in directions, etc... The whole purpose behind buying this was to be cell independent. I'd just as soon throw it against the wall, at this point, but my wife threatened to beat me for having a temper tantrum! I guess I'll have to break down and buy the next generation Apple mini when they come out this year to make this thing work.

I bought this because I really like my Garmin Drive Assist 50 which died several months ago. This has the same functions such as dash cam with lane departure warning and forward collision warning. The only problem was the windshield mount with a short arm. Had to replace the mount so we could remove the Garmin when we leave the car
