Placement option to indicate the location of the device in your
vehicle.

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 Drive 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 Drive 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.
