No need to ever pay for GPS or dashcams, you just use your Loves or Pilot points. Really easy to rack them up, especially Loves.
Added info on the new "785-S" model which is the 780 with a dashcam built in; talked to Garmin tech support about it & apparently is based on an Android platform.
The built in cam is only about 70° fov though, which is way worse then any of their standalone dashcams so I wouldn't even consider it.Trucking in Tennessee Thanks this. -
Problem I'd have with an integrated GPS/dash cam is do you position it so that you have the best view of the display? Or do you position it so the camera has the desired view? Seems unlikely that you'd be able to have both.
tinytim and archangelic peon Thank this. -
Any other positioning of the unit would be even worse for recording as much of the forward/side view as possible.
I don't like my GPS to be in the middle anyway, preferring it to be just low enough next to drivers side corner A pillar to use the sunshade without interference.
The 3 latest standalone dash cams are 122° to 180° fov.
