Rubbish
This App is a total piece of crap. Paid nearly €800 for the bmw navigator Vi and this app cannot find anything beyond your immediate area. Doesn’t send addresses to the unit. Don’t waste your money buy a good phone and mount instead.

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

Garmin Smartphone Link Reviews
Garmin
Absolutely useless GPS can’t find any address or postcode crap don’t but use a Tom Tom
Does not work
I upgraded. It does not work. How can I apply for refund?
So late in updates
I guess the last time this was updated was about the time that I spent $$$$ on this device. Gives traffic updates in the middle of construction, can’t tell you that I 40 is closed in Ashville. And you cannot connect the older gps to the newer app? Been very frustrating 5 1/2 years.
Bad
Hasn’t worked for years
App update
This app was last updated 4 years ago. Please consider making an update for 2024 to be more useful.
4 years since last update?!
This app wont find destinations that are nit in my immediate area. Thats useless.
Live track does t work
Live track used to work well, but now there’s a bug in it that keeps you looped to “enter your name” and “consent to sharing.” You have to close the app to get out of the loop.
Horrible app
Connecting to your iphone is it or miss. Unreliable to say the least. Rarely will send address to my device
Will no longer connect
Just out of the blue the app quit connecting to my garmin dezl truck gps. Having the live traffic was handy. I have done resets on my phone and the gps. Did not help. Uninstalled the app and reinstalled the app. Did not help. Can you all please correct this for me
