The Garmin DriveSmart™ 86 8" GPS Navigator is built for drivers who want a larger, easy-to-read display and modern connected conveniences for everyday commuting or road trips. Its bright, high-resolution 8" touchscreen supports landscape and portrait viewing, making key map details easier to follow at a glance.
With voice-activated navigation, hands-free calling when paired to a compatible smartphone via BLUETOOTH®, and access to live traffic and weather through the Garmin Drive™ app on a paired smartphone, it helps simplify routing and keep travel plans on track. Preloaded street maps and map updates for North America add confidence when driving across the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands and Bahamas.
A bright, high-resolution edge-to-edge 8" touchscreen presents maps and guidance clearly, with the option to use the dual-orientation display in landscape or portrait mode. The multi-touch, glass, WXGA color TFT with backlight is designed to keep essential information easy to see during everyday drives and longer routes.
When paired with a compatible smartphone running the Garmin Drive™ app (enabled with BLUETOOTH and GPS), the navigator can provide live traffic to help avoid delays and view weather forecasts, current conditions, animated radar and storm alerts. With the app, it can also show real-time fuel prices along the route.
Driver alerts help increase situational awareness by warning of items such as upcoming sharp curves, speed changes, railroad crossings and school zones. It also supports red light and speed camera warnings and more, though these warnings are not available in all regions.
Connectivity
Garmin voice assist enables voice-activated navigation, letting drivers request directions with spoken commands. With built-in BLUETOOTH® wireless technology, it can also sync with a compatible smartphone for hands-free calling, keeping the phone stowed while staying connected. For additional convenience, smart notifications can display text messages and other phone notifications on the navigator’s screen when paired with the Garmin Drive™ app.
Navigation
The navigator includes preloaded street maps and map updates for North America, with coverage including the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands and Bahamas. On the road, Garmin Real Directions™ landmark guidance provides spoken turn-by-turn instructions using street names, store names and recognizable landmarks. It also includes millions of Foursquare® points of interest, Tripadvisor® traveler ratings, and a U.S. national parks directory to help identify stops and destinations.
Display
Built-in Wi-Fi® connectivity supports wireless map and software updates without using a computer, with on-screen cues when updates are available. For additional storage or mapping needs, the unit supports microSD™ card expansion (not included) and includes 16 GB of internal storage. For vehicles that can benefit from added visibility, it is compatible with BC™ 30, BC™ 40 or BC™ 50 backup cameras (sold separately).
