Administrator Functions
NOTICE
The administrator account is critical for some app functions.
Choose an administrator password you can remember, and do
not lose the password. The administrator password cannot be
recovered without clearing all app data, which causes all
recorded Garmin eLog data to be deleted.
You must use the administrator account to perform some

editing driver profiles, and resetting driver passwords. The
administrator account and password are created during the
initial Garmin eLog app setup. If the app is administered by a
company, drivers may not have access to the administrator
functions.

Adding Driver Profiles

wipe the ball and socket with a cloth.
Dust and other debris may reduce the friction in the ball and
socket joint and allow the joint to shift while you are driving.
Rotate the hinged arm toward the suction cup as far as your
windshield angle allows.
Positioning the device closer to the windshield reduces the
effect of jarring and vibration from the road.

time required to acquire satellite signals varies based on several
factors, including how far you are from the location where you
last used your navigation device, whether you have a clear view
of the sky, and how long it has been since you last used your
navigation device. The first time you turn on your navigation
device, it may take several minutes to acquire satellite signals.

NOTE: This feature is not available in all areas or for all product
models.
The FCWS feature alerts you when the device detects that you
are not maintaining a safe distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle in front of you. The device determines your vehicle
speed using GPS, and it calculates an estimated safe following
distance based on your speed. The FCWS activates

Red Light and Speed Cameras
NOTICE
Garmin is not responsible for the accuracy of or the
consequences of using a red light or speed camera database.
NOTE: This feature is not available for all regions or product
models.
Information about red light and speed camera locations is
available in some areas for some product models. The device
alerts you when you approach a reported speed or red light
camera.
Live red light and safety camera data is available as a
subscription from Garmin Live Services using the
Smartphone Link app (Garmin Live Services, page 15).
To maintain an updated database of red light and speed
camera locations, your device must have an active
subscription to download and store safety camera data. Go to
garmin.com/speedcameras to check availability and
compatibility, or to purchase a subscription or one-time
update. You can purchase a new region or extend an existing
subscription at any time.
NOTE: In some regions, some product bundles include preloaded red light and speed camera data with free lifetime
updates.
You can use the Garmin Express software (garmin.com
/express) to update the camera database stored on your
device. You should update your device frequently to receive
the most up-to-date camera information.

Advanced Driving Assistance System
Your device includes an advanced driving assistance system
(ADAS), which uses the integrated dash camera to provide
warnings and alerts about your driving environment.

Forward Collision Warning System
WARNING
The forward collision warning system (FCWS) feature is for
information only and does not replace your responsibility to
observe all road and driving conditions, abide by all traffic
regulations, and use safe driving judgment at all times. The
FCWS relies on the camera to provide a warning of upcoming
vehicles and, as a result, may have limited functionality in low
Driver Awareness Features and Alerts

Forward Collision Warning System Performance Tips
Several factors affect the performance of the forward collision
warning system (FCWS). Some conditions may prevent the
FCWS feature from detecting a vehicle ahead of you.
The FCWS feature activates only when your vehicle speed
exceeds 50 km/h (30 mph).
The FCWS feature may not detect a vehicle ahead of you
when the camera's view of the vehicle is obscured by rain,
fog, snow, sun or headlight glare, or darkness.
The FCWS feature may not function properly if the camera is
incorrectly aligned (Aligning the Camera, page 3).
The FCWS feature may not detect vehicles greater than 40 m
(130 ft.) away or closer than 5 m (16 ft.).
The FCWS feature may not function properly if the camera
placement settings do not correctly indicate your vehicle
height or the placement of your device in the vehicle (Aligning
the Camera, page 3).

Lane Departure Warning System
WARNING
The lane departure warning system (LDWS) feature is for
information only and does not replace your responsibility to
observe all road and driving conditions, abide by all traffic
regulations, and use safe driving judgment at all times. The
LDWS relies on the camera to provide warnings for lane
markers and, as a result, may have limited functionality in low
visibility conditions. For more information, go to garmin.com
/warnings.
The LDWS feature alerts you when the device detects you may
be crossing a lane boundary unintentionally. For example, the
device alerts you if you cross some solid painted lane
boundaries. The LDWS feature provides alerts only when your
vehicle speed exceeds 64 km/h (40 mph). The alert appears on
the left or right side of the screen to indicate which lane
boundary you crossed.

You can add multiple destinations to a route (Adding a
Location to Your Route, page 7).

2 Select the location of the device.
Lane Departure Warning Performance Tips
Several factors affect the performance of the lane departure
warning system (LDWS). Some conditions may prevent the
LDWS feature from detecting lane departures.
The LDWS feature provides alerts only when your vehicle
speed exceeds 65 km/h (40 mph).
The LDWS feature may not function properly if the camera is
incorrectly aligned.
The LDWS feature may not function properly if the camera
placement settings do not correctly indicate your vehicle
height or the placement of your device in the vehicle (Aligning
the Camera, page 3).
The LDWS feature requires a clear, continuous view of the
lane divider lines.
Lane departures may not be detected when divider lines
are obscured by rain, fog, snow, extreme shadows, sun or
headlight glare, road construction, or any other visual
obstruction.
Lane departures may not be detected if lane divider lines
are misaligned, missing, or heavily worn.
The LDWS feature may not detect lane departures on
extremely wide, narrow, or winding roads.

Updating Maps and Software Using a WiFi
Network
NOTICE
Map and software updates may require the device to download
large files. Regular data limits or charges from your internet
service provider apply. Contact your internet service provider for
more information about data limits or charges.
You can update the maps and software by connecting your
device to a WiFi network that provides access to the internet.
This allows you to keep your device up to date without
connecting it to a computer.
1 Connect the device to a WiFi network (Connecting to a
Wireless Network, page 26).
While connected to a WiFi network, the device checks for
available updates automatically and displays a notification

cleared by the windshield wipers, and move the device, if
necessary.

My memory card has degraded and needs to
be replaced
All microSD memory cards wear out after they are overwritten a
large number of times. Because the dash camera records
continuously, you should replace the memory card periodically
(Replacing the Dash Cam Memory Card, page 4). Your device
detects memory card errors automatically and alerts you when it
is time to replace your memory card.
You can take these actions to help extend the useful life of the
memory card.
Turn off the device when your vehicle is not in use.
If your device is not connected to an ignition-switched vehicle
power outlet, you should turn off the device when your
vehicle is not in use to prevent the dash camera from
recording unneeded footage.
Transfer saved video footage to a computer.
The memory card lasts longer when more free space is
available on the card.
Use a high-quality memory card with a speed rating of class
10 or higher.
Purchase your replacement memory card from a high-quality
manufacturer and a reputable vendor.

My video recordings are choppy or
incomplete
For the best camera and video results, use a high-quality
memory card with a speed rating of class 10 or higher.
A slower memory card may not record video quickly enough.
If the device displays a memory card error alert, replace the
memory card (Replacing the Dash Cam Memory Card,
page 4).
Update your device to the latest software (Updating Maps
and Software Using a WiFi Network, page 27).
