App doesnt work

This app simply doesnt work.

Terrible app!

Wasted $20 bucks on the in app traffic purchase only to find it wont connect to my nav system!

Not very useful

Live traffic is rather inaccurate. Expected more since it was paid subscription. Have not been able to find much direction or help in trying to send locations to the navigator..shows waiting to send and never does. Big disappointment as i am planning a trip south and thought as i find places id like to stop at i could simply send them from my phone. The 2 wont interact despite the obvious presence of a connection.

Still Does not work!!!

Bought a Kenwood car radio to use this Software with my iPhone.... Never worked !!!! How can I have a refund for in apps purchased ???? Very disapointed.

Not working

I would like to use this app for my garmin dezl 760lmt, please fix it!!!!!!

Will not connect

I just bought a top of the line garmin with bluetooth and saw the smartphone link button on the screen of the GPS. Got the app and bought the addons before I realized it wont actually connect to the GPS at all even though it was displaying no errors. Waste of money.

Why wont it work???

Why cant my iPhone 5C connect to my garmin dezl 760? Why cant garmin fix this problem? Can someone please tell me why an if they will ever fix this so I can get all my live services back!!!!?

Time to get with it!

Same as review #3. Bought a Desl 760 and will not work with my iphone. Top of the line gps for commercial vehicles will not work with a leading phone. If there was ever two devices that should work together, it would be these two. Time to get with the times! Hopefully an app update will allow iphone to work with the deal 760 cause we could sure use the full function of the gps with live weather etc. Until then, dont waste your energy on the app. If you own an iphone, you will be disappointed with how few devices will work with it.

Load of crap

Dont waste your time with all this garbage. If this is the kind if tech toys you need then stay away from garmin as they are doing nothing to correct this problem. Bluetooth will work but this app will not connect via bluetooth with you phone.

Awesome

Got my Garmin for Xmas and was pleased to learn of a iPhone app. I cannot seem to add GPS coordinates through the app, please consider adding this feature to the app. Thanks

Never connects

This APP worked maybe three times when I first downloaded it and has not worked since!! I have tried deleting and reinstalling with no luck! Very disappointing APP!! Good idea, poor implementation!

Excellent add on to my gps

A must have with gps garmin 2597lmt. Very satisfied, does the job perfectly with in app purchase. I see the traffic long before its too late. Very accurate

Works great!

I never have a problem connecting my iPhone 4S to my Garmin, I can even take calls. The only downside is that I cant verbally accept a call, I have to press a button on the screen. Or maybe Im just not doing it right. Either way it works like a charm!

Update

I like this app but it desperately needs an update for Canadian users. Mainly traffic cameras !

Works great!

The app works good with my nuvi 2797 and 2699. I wish Garmin would add more live services like Google search on the unit, flight data information, gas prices and others. The traffic cameras for Canada show up but all I get is a blue screen with a message "the image is unavailable". I hope Garmin fixes this soon, same message displayed for months on all cameras in Vancouver.

Poor

I have to manually connect with navigator 5 each time it doesnt recognize iPhone 5 why not have xm traffic instead of using data it stinks

Decent App with shortcomings

A couple of suggestions, beefs with the app. I purchased the photoLive cameras thinking they are integrated with the Map, that they will show me snippets while I drive, but no, you have to go there specifically. I need the info when driving, and to do that is ludicrous. I wish I could get my money back for that useless feature. I like the Live Traffic and Weather features, although, regarding the weather, I dont see the point of the warnings happening in a totally different area than where I am. Shouldnt it give me warnings where I am and where Im traveling based on the info I have already entered into the GPS?

Waste of money

Still after 6 month app dont work. Again for 4 years been using Dezl model and no update for compatibilty with my garmin 500$ gps capable for this app is still not working, figures a big companie like garmin would actually trad the reviews, NOT.

Doesnt work with IOS9

Keeps crashing with new IOS 9. Previous IOS , IOS Services keep loosing connection with the NuviCam

Does not work after IOS 9 upgrade

This app started crashing after I upgraded iPhone 6 to iOS 9. Cannot open this app anymore if Bluetooth is on. Secondly, all boxes in the app have turned white. Cannot believe, Garmin did not test their app with iOS 9. If Garmin guys are reading this, please fix the app.
