I bought the Drivecam 76 for a trip out of the country, and I went to load the new Maps, and after an hour of fighting with the thing, I gave up. The Drivecam 76 connects to the Internet, but you can’t download from the Internet into it. You have to download it on a computer and then put it on some kind of a chip and then put it in the unit you need to be an IT engineer to figure this out. It’s so 1980’s and then the Garmin Smart Link app says it’s incompatible with whatever blah blah blah. So my one star rating is based on my pathetic experience.

Very happy with unit easy to use what I really love about it and I was very surprised by it. It notify me speed cameras ahead. Now thats priceless especially in Savannah Georgia who new. Love it so many nice options. Smile your on camera, very nice.

Bought this a few weeks ago and am very happy with the screen size and speed zone features. Red light camera notification is good. Still learning about all the features. Surprised when it notified me that the traffic was moving! However the Drive app is annoying when it pops up on my phone while I'm using other apps and not in the car driving around. Overall a great GPS.

I bought this about 3 weeks ago, updated software, loaded new Map. Aftrer all typed in address did not find the place, had to use my phone to get to a Doctor's appointment, off course getting lost I was late. Called Garmin Tech Service, had him use the same address, he determined it was way off, he said will report it to Map derpartment, here is the address 3390Tamiami Trl. Port Charlotte FL.33952 see where it tkes you. Make sure check against Google Map or Ph. Asked service what is the remedy, answer check back in November. My answer, it's going back to Amozon.

I upgraded from the nüviCam, which bricked on me after a recent software update. I guess that's a subtle way of telling me It was time to retire the older model. I'm happy to see a few new features: usb-c, Wi-Fi and a vault feature for saving videos. Seems slightly more user friendly than its predecessor. I do miss the magnetic mount from the previous model, but the software is much more robust and the user interface is more intuitive. There is a bit more video wobble in this new version.

Before I start, I would say they are a lot of things I like about the Garmin DriveCam 76, but there are several things that are disappointing. I purchased this to replace a Garmin NovaCam that lost it's display. The NuviCam worked well until the end, and had features that were left out of the newer DriveCam. Among these features lost, was a quick disconnect magnetic mount that allowed quick removal when parked or switching vehicles. Another loss was the discontinued support for the Garmin Mechanic Dongle, which monitored engine function and the vehicle computer. The loss of these were very nearly a deal breaker for me. Most of the other features were carried from the NuviCam to the new DriveCam. That being said, the DriveCam screen looks crisp and modern, and the physical appearance is more streamlined. The voice commands seem to work well and respond quickly. The processor is a lot faster than the old one, and recalculates quickly. Unfortunately, the recorded track is difficult to see and disappears entirely on major roads. A different color than the map colors would help this problem. The GPS in the DriveCam doesn't work well if there are a lot of big trees... It is not as accurate as it's predecessor, and the recorded track is all over the place in forested areas. This has always been somewhat of a problem with GPS, but seem worse on the DriveCam. I don't regret the purchase, The DriveCam is a good product, but having previously owned the NuviCam, I think they could have made it better.

The DriveCam 76 provides all of the features that I was looking for when the time came to replace my previous DriveSmart 61. Well designed and easy to install. Using a second windshield mount and power cable set, I performed a basic install in both my 2007 Chevrolet Silverado and 2015 Kia Sorento SX. This provides for flexibility using the GPS / dashcam and Bluetooth BC-40. My only issues have been with secure WiFi network login and locating the DriveCam 76 using the GARMIN Drive app. Though paired with my cell phone, it fails to locate the device. No issues using GARMIN Express for backup and software and map updates. I only wish that I could operate the device when connected to my computer. This would improve visibility and integration. A satisfied GARMIN customer.

I love the large 7-inch screen on my DriveCam 76. It is very clear and I am not squinting to see what it is displaying. It is better than my Garmin Nuve 2300LM. I am also pleased about the voice commands. This makes it much easier to select my destination or stop points.

I was sent this unit as a replacement for my standard 76 (no camera) as, after an update, my unit would no longer show the route (purple line) if I input a stop along my route and Garmin has known about this for 5 months at this point with no fix. The first DriveCam they sent me "locked up" and was very slow to respond when it wasn't locked up. I sent that back and they sent another unit. This one seems to work as expected BUT since the camera needs to "see" behind the unit (straight ahead through the windshield), the HUGE suction cup has to sit ABOVE the unit, which effectively blocks my view of oncoming traffic since I place the unit in the lower-left part of my windshield. I tried to place the suction cup BELOW the unit, but, it only fits one way and the units display doesn't rotate 180 degrees like a phone would which would solve the issue. If I sat about 5" taller in my seat, I could probably see over it and I tried to move it higher but then it's almost unusable. . not impressed. . just update my original unit so it works like it did when I purchased it and I'd be happy again.

My family and I took an 800 mile trip to Myrtle Beach and this unit was an absolute failure. We ended up using my kids and wife's navigation on their phones rather than use the Garmin. Before we left, I made sure to have all the updates etc.. The Garmin was constantly sending us in the most obscure directions, miles out of the best, direct routes. At one point, I was ready to literally throw it away. I still use it, but it is now become Dad's family joke. It's an okay map to look at to give you a general idea of where you are, but that's about it. The camera feature works fairly well. I've used multiple Garmin products over the years with no issues, this however was a major waste of time and cash.
