Receiving Notifications while Viewing the Map

WARNING

Do not read or reply to notifications while driving.

Before you can use this feature, your device must be connected to a supported phone running the Garmin Drive™ app (Live Services, Traffic, and Smartphone Features).

When you are viewing the map, new notifications appear in a map tool at the edge of the screen. If the device is moving, you must verify you are a passenger and not the driver before you can view notifications.

  • To ignore a notification, select Close, or wait for popup to expire.

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

  • To view a notification, select the notification text.
  • To listen to the notification, select Play Message.

    The device reads the notification using text-to-speech technology. This feature is not available for all languages.

  • To listen to the notification using a voice command, say Play Message.
    NOTE: This option is available only when the selected language supports the voice command feature and Voice command symbol appears in the map tool.
  • 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.
