GPS Navigators with a Built-In Dash Cam

A combined unit keeps navigation and recording on one screen. Choose it for simplicity; choose separate devices when camera placement or upgrades matter more.

A GPS navigator with dash cam combines turn-by-turn guidance and forward video recording in one windscreen-mounted device. Garmin's current Australian range, for example, lists the DriveCam 76 as a sat nav with an integrated dash camera.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

Can a GPS navigator also work as a dash cam?

Yes, if recording hardware is built into the device. A navigation app or ordinary sat nav does not become a dash cam unless the manufacturer specifically provides that feature.

Is a combined sat nav and dash cam better than two devices?

It is tidier and simpler to operate. Separate units offer more freedom to position the camera, replace one component and add rear or cabin coverage.

Does GPS mean a dash cam provides navigation?

No. Built-in GPS on many dash cams only logs location and speed; turn-by-turn maps require a navigator function or a connected navigation app.

Where should a dash cam navigator be mounted?

It needs an unobstructed road view without materially blocking the driver's view. Follow the device instructions and applicable state or territory rules, and route the cable away from airbags and controls.
