Garmin DriveCam 76 7" GPS Navigator with Built-In Dash Cam

This is my 3rd Garmin Dashcam with Maps. This one is by far the best of all of them. The available apps as well as function makes it so easy to use and operate

Great unit! screen is larger so easier to read and mount seems better then the smaller units. still getting used to the differences between the new one and my Dashcam 51 I have used for several years. the newer features are nice. I did not connect to my phone because my phone connects better with my F250 with apple play to make calls. I use several gps applications at same time as some differ and give different information and therefore provides different route options at times.

FINALLY someone gets it right, and I'm not surprised its Garmin. The perfect pairing of a dashcam and GPS device, and works the way it should - quick and easy to set up and use. Love that I can add a SECOND camera to the system for a rearward view that my big truck needs!! THANK YOU GARMIN!

This is my fourth or fifth Garmin and because of view obstruction in my vehicle, I have always used a friction mount. It makes it easy to adjust and remove completely on the run from my vehicle. I purchased the 76 to upgrade from my drive assist 51 which has a dash cam and works just fine not stuck to the windshield. On the 76 I keep purchasing devices like friction mounts and even vent/cup mounts (giving up on the dash cam part) and NOTHING is deep enough to fit and hold the device. It's just not necessary to force a windshield mount and I'm not happy considering how much the 76 cost. I like the other features but overall, I'm not satisfied.

I have always been a traveling salesman mostly in the Midwest. Recently I took a trip to California. The double screens showing me what exact lane I needed to be in to get to my next highway was so helpful and saved me so much time from when I'm lost.

I bought this to replace our old Garmin (9 years old) as it had led us astray on numerous occasions. This one did not fail us, and I like the camera feature and the voice feature to. I would highly recommend this Garmin DriveCam 76.

I like the voice command, it gives me plenty of commands to change different settings. The camera is nice, has a lot more storage than my Nuvicam had. The only problem I have is sometimes the suction holder falls off of the windshield.

Not much to say, Garmin products are the real deal. I own plenty of them for work vehicles and ally family vehicles as well as my boat. Why would I have any other?

Overall, this is an awesome Garmin GPS. The only point of irritation that I have found is with the sensitivity of lane changes. I receive lane change warnings at inappropriate times while moving and NOT drifting between the lines. Otherwise this is a great unit and a huge improvement over my previous Garmin GPS .

I got this to replace my old Garmin for 12 years. This is fast and a little bit more user-friendly. I also got the BC50 backup camera. The camera has high-quality pictures but it is lagging

So I had to replace my old Garmin camera GPS- map updates no longer support. Have had it 2 weeks and still learning. My problem is with a stand to mount on the dash board- suction cups don't work and my state does not allow suction cups on the windshield. Need a stand like my old Garmin that fits and works well on the dash board. Also what's up with the "Traffic Moving" notification- don't need it plus would like to turn this notification off.

I'm somewhat frustrated with this device. I'm a person that refuses to be tied to a mental prison called a "Smart Phone". In order to access a number of features on this device, a smart phone is required. I'm not sure why, because it clearly has Wi-Fi capabilities. Basically, I have to have my wife or kids on board with their phones in order to plug in directions, etc... The whole purpose behind buying this was to be cell independent. I'd just as soon throw it against the wall, at this point, but my wife threatened to beat me for having a temper tantrum! I guess I'll have to break down and buy the next generation Apple mini when they come out this year to make this thing work.

I was sent this unit as a replacement for my standard 76 (no camera) as, after an update, my unit would no longer show the route (purple line) if I input a stop along my route and Garmin has known about this for 5 months at this point with no fix. The first DriveCam they sent me "locked up" and was very slow to respond when it wasn't locked up. I sent that back and they sent another unit. This one seems to work as expected BUT since the camera needs to "see" behind the unit (straight ahead through the windshield), the HUGE suction cup has to sit ABOVE the unit, which effectively blocks my view of oncoming traffic since I place the unit in the lower-left part of my windshield. I tried to place the suction cup BELOW the unit, but, it only fits one way and the units display doesn't rotate 180 degrees like a phone would which would solve the issue. If I sat about 5" taller in my seat, I could probably see over it and I tried to move it higher but then it's almost unusable. . not impressed. . just update my original unit so it works like it did when I purchased it and I'd be happy again.

Am trying to get use to suction mount! Nice features! Would like good operating video! Have found some online! Some issues with transferring favorites from older Garmin and would like a USB C connector! Good so far! Would like to have the Female Australian voice back! Airplane symbol options/Biplane especially! Thanks

Before I start, I would say they are a lot of things I like about the Garmin DriveCam 76, but there are several things that are disappointing. I purchased this to replace a Garmin NovaCam that lost it's display. The NuviCam worked well until the end, and had features that were left out of the newer DriveCam. Among these features lost, was a quick disconnect magnetic mount that allowed quick removal when parked or switching vehicles. Another loss was the discontinued support for the Garmin Mechanic Dongle, which monitored engine function and the vehicle computer. The loss of these were very nearly a deal breaker for me. Most of the other features were carried from the NuviCam to the new DriveCam. That being said, the DriveCam screen looks crisp and modern, and the physical appearance is more streamlined. The voice commands seem to work well and respond quickly. The processor is a lot faster than the old one, and recalculates quickly. Unfortunately, the recorded track is difficult to see and disappears entirely on major roads. A different color than the map colors would help this problem. The GPS in the DriveCam doesn't work well if there are a lot of big trees... It is not as accurate as it's predecessor, and the recorded track is all over the place in forested areas. This has always been somewhat of a problem with GPS, but seem worse on the DriveCam. I don't regret the purchase, The DriveCam is a good product, but having previously owned the NuviCam, I think they could have made it better.

I bought this to replace and old Nuvi. Its good having a second gps in the car besides my cell phone... I use Waze as well... but I like the redundancy... one complaint I have is the garmin seems slower than Waze. Dashcam is ESSENTIAL... dont leak the driveway without a dashcam in your windsheild... people do the craziest things... my wife saw a school bus trying to squeeze into parking space in NYC... it ripped the front corner off a parked car but the bus driver acted like he/she didnt know.... all on my dashcam video.

After some small issues with formatting the Micro Sd card , the unit itself is a godsend - works great and has lots of features that I knew it had - So far , so good as I had to use it quickly after receiving for work

Once you own a Garmin DriveCam 76 you will gain confidence of knowing that you have documentation of your travels in case of a driving incident. This being just one feature of the "76". The vary accurate point to point directions provides enormous advantages especially in heavy traffic. Other features are "Ok Garmin " hands free instruction, speed limit information, lane departure. Once you owne your "76" discover many other features.

I purchased my "76" little over a year ago and I was impressed with the accuracy of the directions, and the features. I previously had a Nuvi 50 for several years and still keep it in my seconded vehicle.

I upgraded from the nüviCam, which bricked on me after a recent software update. I guess that's a subtle way of telling me It was time to retire the older model. I'm happy to see a few new features: usb-c, Wi-Fi and a vault feature for saving videos. Seems slightly more user friendly than its predecessor. I do miss the magnetic mount from the previous model, but the software is much more robust and the user interface is more intuitive. There is a bit more video wobble in this new version.

Used for first time on 12/18/24 and greatly enjoyed the differences from my prior Drive Assist 50. Some of the nice changes: When changing routes, when knowing back roads, no more verbal message recalculating, better turn information, instead of turn right at next intersection, it's turn right at the light or turn left and end of current street. The base voise is the only one that allows for Garmin Drive connection, and I had download other voices, and the one I miss that was fun, was Squirrly the squirrel. Hope you make him available for DriveCam. Other that that really like the larger screen

Great turn by turn directions as to how to get to your destination. For such a fine product it's maps need to be more up to date. Unable to find older homes, that has been at there locations for many years does no show. (of course newer homes 2 yrs or so) There is no excuse for a very large apt. complex over 5 years old with a free standing bank on the premise not able to locate it. (Location Ridgeview and 119th St) I am a retired delivery driver. I have several different GPSs. Garmin is my favorite go unit. Will continue to purchase, just seems like a easy fix.Garmin is still the best out there.

I have been using this GPS for about 3 weeks and it's pretty good. Large display and forward facing camera is clear. The only complain I have is the suction mount. It requires daily cleanup

I like the ease of use with the Drivecam 76. It understands my request very well. However, I only gave it a 3-star rating because of the mount. I also have the Garmin Drive Assist and the clip that mounts to the GPS can be reversed so I can use a window suction cup mount or a dash mount. I use my GPS primarily for work and I don't like having to mess with trying to put it on the windshield every day. I also don't like the rings left on the windshield from the suction cup. I just don't understand why you didn't design the Drivecam 76 the same as the Drive Assist 51. It looks like it would have been as simple as making a notch in the bottom of the case like the one on the top so the clip could be turned over. Also, I think having the GPS mounted to the windshield blocks more of my view while driving.

I have been using various Garmin DriveCam's for years. All vehicles are equipped to maximize safety and to memorialize events that makes the perfect eye witness account. This unit provides an even better capability with having an app to draw the data directly to my phone. It allows me to store events in a secure vault and locate my vehicle. With video and picture being so common today for evidence this GPS Camera is the perfect tool. You can hear all activity, records speed and location and the video and pictures are crystal clear be it low light or on a bright sunny day. This is a must have unit.
