Parking
Your Garmin DriveTrack device includes detailed parking data,
which can help you find nearby parking based on the likelihood
of available parking spots, type of parking area, price, or
accepted payment methods.
In some areas, live parking data is available while your Garmin
DriveTrack device is connected to Smartphone Link (
with Your Phone and Connecting to Smartphone Link
). While your device is receiving live parking data, you
can view real-time parking trends.
NOTE:
Detailed parking data is not available in all areas or for
all parking locations. Garmin is not responsible for the accuracy
or timeliness of live parking data.
