Putting the “smart” in smart connectivity

When you sync your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone to Garmin DriveTrack 71, you get great features that let you stay connected without taking your hands off the wheel. Make hands-free phone calls and receive customisable smart notifications on your navigator’s display. See incoming calls, text messages and calendar reminders without ever having to reach for your phone.

Live services for your drive

Outsmart traffic jams with time-saving alternate routes, or avoid them altogether. Then, with live information, spend less time circling to look for parking. For traffic alerts, relevant rerouting directions and up-to-date weather forecasts, download Smartphone Link, which connects your Garmin DriveTrack with your compatible smartphone. As you near your destination, take the stress out of parking by viewing pricing and availability trends for on-street public parking. The Smartphone Link app also enables the LiveTrack feature, which lets drivers share their locations — so friends can track your whereabouts whether you’re running errands around town or taking a long road trip.

More navigation from your Garmin smartwatch

When you pair this navigator with your compatible Garmin smartwatch (sold separately), you can receive navigation right on your wrist, even after you’ve parked your car and are walking toward your destination. Also, get helpful driver alerts on your watch. Don’t worry about losing your car in a crowded car park; your smartwatch provides compass guidance from your parked vehicle to your destination and back to your vehicle again.
