GLV Files on Garmin Dash Cams

GLV is a low-resolution video file. This provides a better mobile preview experience and improves the Wi-Fi transfer speed in the Garmin Drive™ app or dēzl™ app. A higher resolution MP4 file will be used when exporting a video from the Dash Cam to your phone. The GLV file will not be used when exporting.

GLV files are used on the following Garmin Dash Cam Devices:


CamperCam 795, dezlCam™ LGV710, dezlCam™ OTR710, dezlCam™ LGV725, dezlCam™ OTR725, Garmin DriveCam™ 76, and RVcam 795 GPS navigators
