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, favorite 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 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 1,000 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:

• photoLive traffic cameras[2]
Look up live photos from over 10,000 traffic cameras to see traffic and weather conditions

• Advanced Weather[2] 
View detailed forecasts, current conditions, and animated radar images, plus receive severe weather alerts

• Dynamic Off-Street Parking[2]
 Find parking close to your destination, including the number of spots available and current cost


[1] Contact your mobile service provider for more information about your service plan’s data and roaming rates. 
[2] Restrictions apply. Not available in all areas. Subscriptions required. 
[3] Parking data is available for most city centers. For coverage details, visit Parkopedia.com.
[4] See  for terms, conditions and limitations.

Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

## Garmin Smartphone Link Reviews in United States

### *---- "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.
-- DeltaRobinHood, 2024-11-11

### *---- "Bad"
Hasn’t worked for years
-- EPatrick5, 2024-09-21

### **--- "App update"
This app was last updated 4 years ago. Please consider making an update for 2024 to be more useful.
-- aronninefour, 2024-09-06

### *---- "4 years since last update?!"
This app wont find destinations that are nit in my immediate area. Thats useless.
-- someonenamedphill, 2024-08-25

### *---- "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.
-- Hukilau320, 2024-08-16

### *---- "Horrible app"
Connecting to your iphone is it or miss. Unreliable to say the least. Rarely will send address to my device
-- 77edwatd, 2024-08-11

### *---- "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
-- raylongivens, 2024-08-02

### *---- "Broken app- no option to connect a watch"
Maybe it is regional or a license issue but when installed it want even show an option selection for watch link
-- Sal8291, 2024-07-16

### *---- "Is this app still viable?"
No updates for four years?
-- sprinks5, 2024-07-14

### *---- "Can’t connect to Nubian 2595LMT"
I can’t connect to my 2595LMT from iPhone 8. I was able to connect from android pixel though. Can you please update the app?
