Distance Between Automotive Device and Phone using the Garmin Drive™ App
The Garmin Drive™ app is an application available from the Google Play Store for Android smartphones and the iTunes App Store for iPhones. The phone and device can remain connected at a distance of 30 feet.
Automotive devices containing a Garmin Dash Cam™ driving recorder do not require connection to the Garmin Drive™ app to save an incident. The device's vehicle power cable is required.
Each camera has its own accelerometer for incident detection. When using more than one camera, incidents will be saved independently even if they are not paired to the Garmin Drive app or each other at the time of the incident. Cameras can later be paired to the Garmin Drive app to retrieve the saved footage. Each device will also detect, stitch the incident video, and save it without needing to be paired to the Garmin Drive app.
The following devices can use Garmin Vault, a secure online video storage feature:
- Garmin Dash Cam™ X110
- Garmin Dash Cam™ X210
- Garmin Dash Cam™ X310
- Garmin Dash Cam™ Live
- Garmin Dash Cam™ 47

See: Using the Vault Storage Feature on a Garmin Dash Cam Device
Garmin Vault is activated in the Garmin Drive™ app. Saved videos are automatically uploaded and stored in the Vault when the Garmin dash cam device is in range of a trusted Wi-Fi network.
NOTE: The Garmin Dash Cam™ Live has an always-on 4G LTE connection with the LTE Vault Subscription. Saved videos are uploaded right away and stored securely in the Garmin Vault.
