Before your Garmin DriveSmart™ device can receive notifications, you must connect it to your smartphone and to the Smartphone Link app.
From most pages, a pop-up appears when the device receives a notification from your smartphone. If the device is moving, you must verify you are a passenger and not the driver before you can view notifications.

The pop-up closes, but the notification remains active on your phone.

- To listen to the notification, select .
The device reads the notification using text-to-speech technology. This feature is not available for all languages.
- To perform additional actions, such as dismissing the notification from your phone, select View, and select an option.
NOTE: Additional actions are available for only some notification types and must be supported by the app generating the notification.
