After you park your vehicle, you can continue to your destination

Your Garmin Watch

, page 7

). Your device or Garmin watch 

can also guide you back to this parking spot when you return to 

your vehicle (

Finding your last parking spot

, page 7

).

Finding Your Destination Using Your Garmin Watch

Before you can use this feature, you must set up Watch Link 

(

Setting up Watch Link

, page 19

).

You can use your compatible Garmin watch to navigate from 

your vehicle to your destination, or from your destination back to 

your vehicle. This feature is especially useful for finding a 

location within a large venue, or when you have to park away 

from your destination and finish navigating on foot.

NOTE: 

gPS technology requires a clear view of the sky. The 

Watch Link app may not be able to provide guidance in indoor 

venues, such as shopping malls or airports.

1

On your watch, start the Watch Link app, and select 

Find My 

Destination

.

Your watch acquires a GPS signal and starts guiding you to 

your destination.

2

Walk towards your destination.

The destination indicator 

À

 shows the direction of your 

destination relative to the direction you are moving 

Á

. When 

the destination indicator appears at the top of the circle, you 

are heading towards your destination. The remaining 

distance to your destination 

Â

 appears below the circle. The 

progress bar 

Ã

 shows your progress towards your 

destination.

Finding your last parking spot

When you disconnect your Garmin DriveAssist device from 

vehicle power, it saves your current location as a parking spot. If 

you have set up Watch Link, the device sends the parking spot 

location to your compatible Garmin watch (

Setting up Watch 

Link

, page 19

). You can navigate back to your parking spot 

using either your Garmin DriveAssist device or the Watch Link 

app on your watch.

TIP: 

if your Garmin DriveAssist device is connected to a 

switched power outlet, it saves your parking spot each time you 

turn off your vehicle. If your device is connected to a non-

switched power outlet, you must unplug the vehicle power cable 

to save your parking spot.
