  • So-so app, and Advanced Weather is a waste

    By BFasterling (Pcmac user)

    I downloaded this app to interface with my BMW Navigator VI. I do like the ability to automatically send a destination to the NAV VI when it connects to my iPhone. I bought the Advanced Weather add-on for long road trips. The weather radar is slow, but functional as your planned route is also displayed. However, there are far better apps for weather radar. The weather alerts are a nuisance. I get a banner and an alert tone which mutes everything else from the GPS but no really useful info. For example ... "dense fog advisory", "excessive heat warning", "gale force winds", etc. pop up on the NAV VI with no indication as to WHERE. Selecting the banner or weather icon brings up the weather map on the NAV VI without any indication where the weather condition exists. I've seen a flash flood area highlighted a few times, but that's it. I'm underwhelmed. For an app that links up with a $950 GPS, I expect much better integration/performance.
  • If you expect live traffic on a Garmin device, forget it...

    By Panzer081 (Pcmac user)

    the app devices such as dēzl truck gps and automotive units require this app to display real time traffic that’s advertised as free for life along with map updates. Well this app will not communicate with an iPhone XS Max. I’ve been over all the steps repeatedly, uninstalled and reinstalled and made sure everything was set as it should be , also fully updated the the app device. Still no live traffic displayed on the device. The app and the device keep saying check to make sure device and phone are in Bluetooth range, what a joke! They are both right here in the truck, close enough? Look at these reviews developers! Fix this crappy app before I sling the the app device out of the window of this truck. What good is lifetime traffic I can’t ever use? Seems like false advertising really. Edit: After looking over the other reviews with issues going back as far as 2 years, it’s very obvious the app doesn’t care that this app doesn’t function . Very disappointing and I won’t be buying anymore the app devices in the future. Gps units, dash cams , I’ve never used anything but the app , but if they can let this go on for this long then they obviously care less , so it’s time to move on.....sad really!
  • Garmin finally got it together

    By Iphonerocks00 (Pcmac user)

    Updated June 2018: After several years of this app being buggy and working only temporarily after needing to be unpaired and then repaired to your the app device, it is now working very well reliably every time with my iPhone. I have submitted many tickets and Bluetooth logs to the app in hopes of getting this fixed and I am so pleased that it is now working well please keep it that way and don’t mess it up. This is a must-have for any the app compatible device user! The coverage is much greater than FM reception areas which are limited to only urban cities. I get coverage with this well outside of the city boundaries. A+. Other features such as local parking and traffic cameras are a big plus also. Yay for the app getting this fixed in June 2018. I only wish it would launch automatically on the phone when you get in the car.
  • App is basically useless

    By Khggbvfer (Pcmac user)

    Just updated the app on my iPhone 8 to work with my dēzl 580. All the app does, as it always has, is make the unit not perform at the most inappropriate times. While using the app connected to my dēzl I’ve been directed more than once to “ROAD CLOSED” signs and needed to back up and make a U-turn. IN A SEMI TRUCK. Only with iOS Services connected does the unit announce “lost satellite reception” and take literally several minutes to figure out where I am. That’s REALLY BAD when I’m on a new route and don’t know where I need to turn. As reported by other reviewers, often the best way to get from point A to point B is to ignore the route directed by the unit (I’ve saved literally a half hour on some routes of only 200 miles by ignoring the the app four or five times). Before these experiences I’ve always been happy with the app units I’ve purchased for my cars. Also, like other reviewers, I feel the need to use Google Maps in tandem with my dēzl for reliable traffic data. Please, get your act together, the app.
