As many others raised, the app does not let google map being pushed in. It crashes each and every time and I am seriously pissed about it. The app is suppose to work with my very expensive BMW navigator V and it doesn't. NOT RESPONDING. Sick of it and extremely concerned that a brand like BMW associates itself with such disastrous product. The Garmin navigator V with latest map update cant find anything in Thailand when google map does instantly and seamlessly. Avoid at all cost.

Worst piece of software on my phone. Most users just need one function: send location from some 3rd party app to their GPS, and Smartphone Link fails miserably 9 times out of 10 at that. Garmin, please scrap this piece of code completely and hire real programmers to write something that will justify the price of your top of the line GPS units.

It's ALWAYS on. There's no way to turn it off. No option in the app. Clearing recently used apps doesn't work. It's always on and always draining your battery.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S6. The In-app purchases do not work - keeps saying Google Authentication error. Tried many many times. Also, the Pick Location feature would be really great IF you could search for addresses and then send to the GPS device... BUT, you have to actually click on the map to pick a location - NO SEARCH abilities.. Therefore, pretty much useless app. Since in-app purchases do not work, can not add live-traffic feature, nor the advanced weather features to the GPS. Have the Garmin 2597LMT from costco... :(

It's not a user-friendly app. If it's possible, please link between Google maps and Garmin. I'd help users to find places easier.

Current version : After 10 months of broken app. I'm now able to connect without crashing the navigator but most of the time It's fail to send the location(20 out of 21 time). This may mark the real downfall of Garmin Corporation. I was not able to believe such a high profile company can tolerate the lunch of very low quality app. Garbage! review for old version: This is abandoned app. No update for years with multiple bugs reported.
