Very small camera works with Garmin devices
I have the Garmin Dezl 800 GPS for my truck and wanted to get the camera which is 'supposed to' work with the GPS. I guess it does for the most part. I know there is a way to connect via bluetooth or WiFi just the camera and GPS - however I have been unsuccessful. The camera is small. It does have the old style micro USB power plug. The micro SDXC card is easily installed. My camera came with a 16 gb generic card which is effectively useless. It would only store 20 minutes of video before looping back and recording over everything. I purchased a Samsung EVO Select Micro SD 512GB microSDXC MB-ME512KA/AM and use it instead. Yes a 512 GB will work just fine. Once I put the new card in the camera it asked if I wanted to format it - I hit "yes" and the card was formatted for the camera. Pretty easy. Garmin does state the camera will work with up to 512 GB SD cards. If you want to format a new Micro SD card for the camera on your computer you need to format it in FAT 32. The camera comes with a glue on windshield mount or you can purchase separately a suction cup mount. I got the suction cup. There is no lens cover so keep your fingers away from it. The menu on the camera is pretty easy to navigate - which I found amazing. The default video quality is 1440p 30 fps and sound recording on. You can password protect entering into menu so only an authorized person can go into any of the settings. Requires use of a phone. The camera does want you to use the Garmin app Drive. This connects to the camera and allows the camera to upload video to a data vault. I do not use this option. The data vault is a paid service - and I know nothing of it. The camera wanted to update itself immediately when I first connected it to my laptop - it uses another Garmin app to register itself then download the 2.80 software. There are a bunch of other language and mapping software that can be downloaded. Was actually pretty easy to do the update. Overall - I'd say the Garmin v67 camera is pretty good. Its geared more toward fleet vehicle operation. You can use it on your own if you like. Don't ever expect to view any video from the built in 2" screen because it just not possible.
