Destination Arrival with Garmin Real Vision

Assistance

The Garmin Real Vision feature automatically displays a camera 

view when approaching some destinations, including addresses 

and geographic coordinates. The location of your destination 

appears on an image of your surroundings captured by the dash 

camera.

Some conditions may prevent this feature from appearing.
• This feature is not available in all areas or for all types of 

destinations.

• This feature may not appear for destinations far from the 

route or road, close to a turn or maneuver, or located on a 

very curvy or hilly road.

• This feature may not appear when the road or destination is 

obscured by weather, vegetation, or other obstructions.

• This feature may not appear in very bright or dark 

environments.

navigating a route (

, page 5

your route.

and save a trip (

selected location.

• To add more shaping points to the route, select additional 

locations on the map.

• To remove a shaping point, select  .

construction zones, closed roads, or poor road conditions.
