Customers are saying

Customers find value in the Speak Plus with Amazon Alexa and Built-In Dash Camera for its seamless Alexa integration, allowing them to control smart home devices and access information hands-free. The dash cam feature is also well-received for its reliability in capturing clear footage. While some users appreciate the small size and ease of setup, others have concerns about occasional connectivity issues and the need for improvement in the accompanying app.

    It is much smaller than I thought it would be. We haven’t be able to get sound out of it by syncing it to the radio yet. There is no instructions to help with it. It guides you on the gps but it doesn’t work.

    It's okay. I was wanting something that was more like Alexa. This isn't it. You are limited on what you can do with the Alexa part of it. Add for a guidance system it works great.

    Has a lot of issues with it. The auto sensing settings in it for lane shifting and distance between the car are very inaccurate and beeps even if you are using your turn signal.

    Great GPS with Alexia, however, South Florida is known for cloud cover and cause satellite disruption with rsin storms, and this unit will not function well in that type of environment

    Alexa functionality is minimal, all you hear is "this action is not supported on this device", no way to adjust call volume past 60% of media volume, Alexa stops listening in the middle of navigation request, camera voice commands never worked, and the thing died after 2 months. do not buy.

      If your Garmin Speak Plus device is wirelessly connected to your vehicle's Bluetooth stereo, and if audio responses from Amazon Alexa are delayed or cut off, try adjusting the Audio Delay setting in the Garmin Speak app. The Audio Delay setting only displays when "Other" is selected as the media output.

    Product is ok. Not sure how to set up all the features. Accessing video can be time consuming. A better features manual would have been helpful. I’m sure there is one online though.

    I find this product to be kind of fun. You can use the Alexa part to play trivia or to add things to shopping list. The only part that took getting used to was to get the navigation part down, but once that was figured out I have not had trouble since.

    Works okay on a lot of things, but the last of word of everything Alexa says gets cut off. GPS has some goofy routes as well.

    Works great! Small enough not to distract you from driving. It was a little hard to connect Alexa to my account and sometimes you have to turn on your Alexa app or drive to have it connected.

      The Garmin Speak Plus will create routes by estimating the fastest and most direct way to reach a destination using major roadways. To do so, it will use the navigation settings selected in the Garmin Speak app. If the device takes you to the wrong destination, verify that the destination is located in the correct place on the map through the Garmin Speak app.
