![]() Like most dash cameras, it records in a continuous loop - so you'll need to save any footage you want to keep or it'll be overwritten by new footage. But seeing as most people have smartphones with high-quality cameras, this isn't a hugely a necessary feature. You can also remove the camera to take photos at the scene. The menus are easy to operate and setting it up takes minimal time, we didn't even open the manual. The 55 has a G-Sensor so when an incident is detected, the camera will save the current, last and next recordings so you have a complete record of the event. The GPS also provides location and speed data, which many insurers now request when reviewing footage in the event of liability disputes over an accident. When watching footage on a computer, you’ll get latitude, longitude, date, time and speed readings. You don't need to set the date and time though because this will be obtained from the GPS signal. Upon setup, the dash cam asks if it will be mounted on the left, right or centrally on the windscreen. Otherwise, as we did, you might find yourself trying very hard to remove the tiny mount to move it elsewhere. ![]() ![]() Just ensure you know exactly where you want the dash camera to go before you fix the sticky side of the magnetic attachment to your windscreen.

Priced at £150 on Garmin's website, though it can be found for £130 at retailers like Curry's, it costs slightly less than the Mio MiVue 792 WiFi Pro or Nextbase 512GW. ![]() It offers 1440p resolution footage, forward collision and lane departure warnings, alerts for red light and speed cameras, WiFi and voice-controlled features like Travelapse. The 55 is Garmin's mid-range dash camera, sitting between the 45 and 65W. ![]()
