The driver alerts work very well for

While this works great at home with a nice wide, fast and stable broadband connection this fails with the realities of LTE in everyday use

but it has worked well so far

The front collision works well, video footage is acceptable, audio recording is acceptable, Alexa basic features work well

The other issue is that the data you're working with isn't nearly as robust as the sorts of crowdsourced data you can get from Waze.

It is a work in progress, but I love the idea of integrating the road with home

When working and no bluetooth issues it is great to get your Flash Briefing and turn on lights right before you get home.

Just about everything I typically do on Alexa at home worked well in the Garmin Speak Plus using the same commands I use with Alexa at home.

Sounds fantastic works just like your Alexa at home

Like any device sometimes there is poor data connection but works when try again

it's nice when the speak works but most of the time it doesn't work.

I connected it to my iPad and threw my radio dead not need it for GPS wanted it for music and other things works really good and have it mounted on the dash so is closer to here u better

With all that in mind, I have a good data plan, a newer smart phone, and a car with SYNC services, and for me the Garmin Speak works very well

The phone works fine with the car alone (using either Bluetooth or USB/Lightning)

The 10MPH over speed limit notification is nice, but only works if navigation is on

Lane departure warnings could use some work, as it often alerts when moving to one side with much greater sensitivity than the other, and only works if there is enough contrast between the lines and the road such that depending on the road, weather, and/or lighting conditions, it may not work at all

I've added items to my shopping list as well and that worked

Okay, I don't want to relay on that anywaysSummary - Some features are awesome and some features are not working properly
