Garmin smart phone link

Post by michaelc2710 »

Few questions about the Garmin smart phone link
Does it work well?
Does it display text's or emails on the Nav VI screen?
Does it use much data?


Thanks for any advice/info

I can’t tell you what it displays on the VI as I only have the nav v and it does not show texts etc
But  it does work for traffic updates and issues on your route. You can also send a destination from the phone to the Nav. For a free app it’s ok.
Data use is minimal

It eats battery life on your phone because its always updating the GPS, be sure to force stop the app when not in use. 👍
The GS 'is' the better bike :-)
