Setting the Camera Position
You can mount the device in the left, center, or right of your
windshield. During the initial device setup, the Garmin Speak
app asks you to select your vehicle type and the horizontal
position of the device on your windshield. These settings help to
improve the accuracy of driving alerts. You can change these
settings at any time.
From the Garmin Speak app, select > Camera >
Placement.
Lane Departure Warning Performance Tips
Several factors affect the performance of the lane departure
warning system (LDWS). Some conditions may prevent the
LDWS feature from detecting lane departures.
• The LDWS feature provides alerts only when your vehicle
speed exceeds 65 km/h (40 mph).
• The LDWS feature may not function properly if the camera is
incorrectly aligned.
• The LDWS feature may not function properly if the camera
placement settings do not correctly indicate your vehicle
height or the placement of your device in the vehicle .
• The LDWS feature requires a clear, continuous view of the
lane divider lines.
◦ Lane departures may not be detected when divider lines
are obscured by rain, fog, snow, extreme shadows, sun or
headlight glare, road construction, or any other visual
obstruction.
◦ Lane departures may not be detected if lane divider lines
are misaligned, missing, or heavily worn.
• The LDWS feature may not detect lane departures on
extremely wide, narrow, or winding roads.
