    Garmin Speak Plus with Amazon Alexa and Built-in Dash Cam, What You Love About Amazon Alexa— Now in Your car with Dash Camera looping Video and Memory Card, 010-01862-00

    • This is a neat product, though I must admit that I'm a die hard Alexa fan
    • Alexa's too cool to drop it any lower, even if the GPS functions fall short.
    • I love Garmin and I love Alexa.
    • If you are playing music from phone via bluetooth, you may want to pause it or else Alexa will get confused
    • Giving up car radio or satellite radio for GPS or Alexa is unacceptable
    • And I have Alexa in my car with my music , control my smart
    • It is like Alexa had Garmin's baby
    • Alexa - Alexa works
    • I regularly experienced issues with the device not connecting to my phone and the novelty of having Alexa in the car wore off very quickly
    • A great dash cam, superior quality video, and sound.- Alexa works great just like the Amazon Dot.- Small and unobtrusive.

    • As long as your carrier's network isn't congested and you have adequate signal strength, Alexa and all the associated skills work quickly and responsively, though the single microphone built in could stand to have an upgrade to a proper microphone array for better noise rejection, as Alexa can be rather hard of hearing if there's too much road noise or your music is too loud
    • Love having Alexa in the car seems to do everything the one at home does best of all hands free music
    • I’m also coming to terms with the fact that Alexa doesn’t work well with
    • I love the Alexa in the house, now I am slowly learning what I can use it more for in the vehicle.
    • So happy that I can have the same Alexa experience in my car that I enjoy in my home.
    • As a portable Alexa, it's great, but you could just as easily put an Echo Dot in the car and pair it with your smartphone's mobile hotspot
    • The Alexa sucks just like it does in my house
    • Do EVERYTHING that Alexa is capable of plus navigation.
    • Still after all that Alexa refuses to let me activate the device even though it says the Garmin skill is enabled
    • I have also found that, while Garmin does not support searching for addresses by voice, I can dictate addresses to Alexa which then uses Garmin for navigation
    • Box said Alexa was supported but not everything
    • I certainly don’t want to have to turn the car off while on the road simply so I can get Alexa to work
    • But THIS ALEXA in the Garmin Speak is like the girlfriend that won't listen and won't shut up
    • I won't be using Garmin Speak for directions in the city (where I live) any more, it's now just a portable Alexa, because the directions it gives are worse than useless in a densely packed city
    • But the dash cam video is very good and I love having Alexa along!
    • Love having Alexa in the car and the garmin directions are much better than I expected
    • Alexa is ready to go in about 30 seconds
    • If I want Alexa to work, I have to stream music through it instead of with the music app
    • Alexa's too cool to drop it any lower, even if the GPS functions fall short.
    • Love having Alexa in the car and all that comes with her
    • I love Garmin, and I love Alexa
    • I like talking hands free, but Alexa gets everything wrong and navigation stinks
    • If you are happy with Alexa in the home, you'll be happy to have Alexa in the car as well.
    • It does use Alexa, and our house is heavily tied to the Alexa ecosystem (smart cameras, locks, lights, Echo devices in multiple rooms).
    • Lacks great typical Alexa features like calling and drop in
    • This incredibly tiny black barrel provides Alexa, Garmin, and camera all in one and makes bluetooth transmission from your phone to your car stereo (Aux) nice and easy
    • I love my Alexa and now i am loving this Garmin Speak
    • Now, I do drive in some areas where cell service is spotty and, of course, that means that Alexa gets spotty at times.
    • Alexa ask Garmin for navigation to work
    • The girls really enjoy Alexa and all the things they are used to doing with her in our home (we have an Echo, a Dot, several smartplugs & a Nest)
    • I do not like this as much for businesses as Alexa picks the nearest result and
    • My 4-year-old loves having Alexa play songs from all her favorite shows/movies and the fun never seems to get old
    • Love having Alexa in the car but adhesive that came with this fails
    • ---You can't initiate calls with it---You can't set reminders---You can't use Spotify (inexplicably, because Amazon music works dandy)---Other features are disabled, Alexa says "Sorry, that feature is not available on this device"3
    • My kids love having Alexa in the car and i love the music streaming.
    • no better alternative?)-alexa doesn't understand a broad variety of commands
    • For the most part, Alexa is pretty responsive but on occasion seems to take a while to respond
    • The good - Alexa for your car with navigation
    • Alexa has issues with commands at times
    • Alexa is a cloud capability, so I would suggest an unlimited data plan.
    • This device is most useful as Alexa for your car as many other reviewers have noted
    • This is an awesome tiny little Alexa with GPS built in
    • The only plus is an Alexa link that doesn't work about half the time--you try to turn on the lights, but I've given the command when I'm 2 or 3 minutes from home, gotten home, it's dark, and tell the home Alexa to turn on the lights, and they come on instantly
    • It's tiny, which I love as it doesn't take up a bunch of room on my windshield.
    • When I saw this product online, it appealed to me as it was a navigation aide and the screen was simple.
    • She didn't seem to work as we had hoped.
    • That does indeed work as I'd hoped--the iPhone/Speak Bluetooth connection so far seems to be rock solid
    • Nothing works as it's supposed to and nothing like Alexa at all
    • Worth about $50 in value, maybe $100 tops if it worked as it should.
    • It's unfortunate as it means I cannot count on it as a navigation device during times when I would need it.
