Smartphone Link allows you to connect a compatible Garmin navigator and your iPhone®. Once linked, the compatible Garmin navigator uses your existing mobile data plan[1] to share information with your iPhone, including contacts, search results, favourite locations, your driving destination and even your parking spot. With Smartphone Link, your compatible Garmin navigator can also access Garmin Live Services[2] for useful, real-time driving information.
What Are Garmin Live Services?

Garmin Live Services provide the most up-to-date "live" information to your Garmin navigator using your existing mobile data plan. There's no need for an additional data connection. Some services are included when you connect to Smartphone Link. Other services within the app are available through optional paid subscriptions offering premium content and enhanced features. To receive data relevant to your location, Garmin Live Services require that your current GPS location be shared with Garmin and Garmin partners.
Included Live Services:
• Address sharing - Send locations and online search results from your phone to your compatible Garmin navigator and navigate there
• Garmin Live Traffic
Avoid delays and find detours with the best-in-class real-time information. Garmin Live Traffic is updated every minute and receives more than 1000 messages every update cycle
• Live Parking[3]
Save time and take the stress out of parking. View helpful parking information, including pricing and availability trends for on-street public parking, as you approach your destination.
• Weather - View forecasts and current conditions
• Last Mile - Remembers your parking spot and shows your destination, so you can find your way on foot and back again
Premium Live Services, available for a one-time[4] purchase within the app, include:

Garmin Smartphone Link Reviews

Outdated, Live Track no longer works

kMikaZu on

Belgium

Sad to see that Garmin promise “lifetime” map update but doesn’t offer support for their connection apps. Live Track no longer works (it keeps asking for permission) and the app is unstable as hell…

Startscherm

Belgium

Als ik bij “verkeersinformatie” op “kaart” klik, spring het scherm naar het startscherm van de GSM. Iphone 8; ios 15.2

Works good after initial setup

Joeri Vanhagendoren on

Belgium

Setting up the connection is a bit of a hassle and most likely the reason why people fail to get it working, resulting in bad reviews and a low score. Make sure to pair the device via Bluetooth, make sure that the Bluetooth connection is active and then press the antenna button in the left top corner of the app.

Ronduit slecht

Does not work

boindelkoman on

Belgium

I bought the Garmin 396 for use with the smartlink app. However since may 2019 the app makes no connection. Even the garmin support does not know what to do. They suggest i should try another smartphone (which btw als does not work/connects). The lack of connection makes mine freshly bought cyclops camera subcription also not work. There is no way to make connection through the traffic button on the garmin itsself: so also no real life traffic feed.

Gevaarlijk!

kvda1970 on

Belgium

Hapert nog steeds op mijn iPhone 7. Gevaarlijke stoornissen bluetooth met voortdurende error meldingen op het scherm wat op een moto wel gevaarlijk wordt. Ik verwachtte hier al langere tijd een goede update voor maar de website doet anders vrezen. Spijtig

Not ok

flowurs on

Belgium

Niet goed in vergelijking met de prijs van mijn toestel. Heb een dezelcam voor in mijn vrachtwagen maar gebruik er de app zelde of nooit mee. Slechte bluetooth koppeling, onoverzichtelijke lay-out, trage verbinding...enz Idd verspil er je tijd niet aan. Een teleurgestelde vrachtwagen chauffeur

Rubbish

Doesn’t work, don’t waste your time on it.
