Install, pair phone, hardly stays connected , uninstall app

Using a DriveSmart 60 LMT with and iPhone 6S running iOS 9.2.1

Never had worse Bluetooth pairing experience with a product and app. Doesnt reconnect after the gps turns again; disable Bluetooth on both phone and device-reconnect attempt to re-pair; all the usual steps dont work. GPS is updated to latest rev too. Made mistake of in-app purchase of live cameras; theyve never appeared on the GPS(device communication error) is all that appears. GPS claims its connected to phone via icon in unit, but cant make or receive calls. Of course all the other app related functions such as weather dont work after the first time. As another reviewer said, finding a location on the app to transfer to the GPS is impossible and GUI is primitive at best.

When Im not completely frustrated over this debacle, Ill restore everything including the GPS, uninstall the app, and delete all Bluetooth pairing traces again. Then Ill start, over document all the steps and Fedex the results to a few of their headquarters as no one at Garmin is reading these reviews or monitoring tech support call history.

Come on Garmin, who did you outsource this app job to?
