Nice videos on this unit. I do have a question about it if you don’t mind. My main annoyance while driving is forced turn lanes. If you are on a 3 lane roadway, you need to go 5 more miles straight. If the far right lane turns into a RIGHT TURN ONLY lane at some point, will this garmin tell you to stay in the left two lanes? Can’t stand it when I need to go straight and the lane I’m in with heavy traffic ends up becoming a turn only lane and I HAVE to take it because I can’t get over. Google maps will not tell you this.

@Wanderer001_Reviews 8 ай бұрын

Honestly I have had a mix of both with the Garmin. I tested out on a trip from NY to FL and I would say it was about 60/40. 60 being that it told me to avoid the turn lanes.

@C1nderfire Ай бұрын

Also, does it give you directions ahead of time. Will it say turn left at side Street then in 200 feet turn right because I have a problem with if there’s multiple left turn lane let’s say, it’ll just tell me to turn left so if I pick theinnermost left lane and it tells me after I turn to turn right I’m in the wrong turn lane. That’s a big thing with me. Thank you.

@Wanderer001_Reviews Ай бұрын

I will be honest this is hit or miss. Some times it gives too many prompts about turning while others it will just say turn left at main street.

I miss that too. I still have an old GPS in my wife's car and just love how the voice commands work over the new one. But I do feel the software is much better on the new GPS.

Thanks for the video, I have one on order. I will be mounting it onto my dash and not windshield. I have about 3" mounted disk glued to the top of my dash. I can't find a spec on how wide the suction cup is on the mounting bracket of this device. The vacuum cup looks very wide/large.

I kept forgetting to grab my measuring tape when I go to work but finally got around to it the diameter across the suction cup is 3 in.

Yes that is the case where I live in NY. Well it is allowed but it is very well defined as to how it can be up there. And most the the new big GPS and very angled windshields will not let you do this. But it is one of those things every one does, at least around me.

Hi, in application it is important for me to relate what is seen on the video to a location on a map. Can I achieve that with this device? For example, at 1:34:45 you saw this and your location x.

@Wanderer001_Reviews 10 ай бұрын

There is an option for the dash cam to record the exact location a video was taken as well as see it on the map. I just blanked those out on my videos fro privacey reasons.

How do you get the real road view side by side with the “cartoon” looking map? I saw it on their site but haven’t found a video that shows it

@Wanderer001_Reviews Ай бұрын

That happens as you get close to intersections, this is part of the map data.

@C1nderfire Ай бұрын

Does it let you edit a route? Meaning if you don’t want to go on highways or prefer one street you know will get you there easier, will it let you choose from multiple routes. I hope that made sense.

@Wanderer001_Reviews Ай бұрын

You can setup before do avoid highways, areas, or streets. Generally it will show you one route unless you tell it to show you alternatives. These two can be changed in the settings for faster time or shortest distance.

Unfortunately, no word on replacing the battery and no word on whether license plates are readable.

@Wanderer001_Reviews 4 ай бұрын

It is still a new unit for me so have not needed to look into replacing the battery, generally GPS with dash cam need to be plugged into power just to have them work. The battery would be gone in less then 20mins. As for license plates it depends on lighting conditions.

I sent it back because it does not mount on the dash and takes up too much space on the windscreen, making it illegal to use! Also the software does not provide routes to choose from, like google maps , but is exactly the same , as the aging ( +10 years) that I have on my smaller version of the same that sits perfectly on the dashboard, so I sent the 600 euro version back and just bought an extra of my old one used - saved 560 Euro and it is legal, practical but the software sucks.

@Wanderer001_Reviews 4 ай бұрын

Legal sizes for GPS on your windshield is dependent on what part of the world you are in. I do agree it is a large unit and does not work in a dash mount. To get to route options is a little more work then something like Google maps. You would have to select options to avoid like toll roads ect. The smaller unit you are referencing does it also have a dashcam built in?

@Lara-ii4ct 4 ай бұрын

I had the car for MOT here in DK and was told to remove the Garmin DriveAssist™ 50LMT-D from the windshield - then I bought a great dashboard holder, and could reverse the cradle on the Garmin so you could mount it on the the dash and still use the camera - THIS IS WHAT THEY CHANGED ON THE 76 - you would have to design and 3D-print a new version of the cradle yourself to be able to reverse mount it and use the camera. THIS IS JUST BAD AND THOUGHTLES DESIGN. Just changing functioning design to make it useless and illegal - but not a single improvement to this 10 yar old software and interface. The drive assist 50 was way ahead of its time with assistive functioning through the integrated dashcam - now they are lagging behind with the 76,
