Receiving Notifications

WARNING

Do not read or reply to notifications while driving.

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 popup 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.

NOTE: If you are viewing the map, notifications appear in a map tool.
  • To ignore a notification, select OK.

    The popup closes, but the notification remains active on your phone.

  • To view a notification, select View.
  • To listen to the notification, select View > Play.

    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.
