Garmin Dash Cam 45: Specifications and Buying Advice

Garmin Dash Cam 45 records 1080p video and includes GPS in a compact body. It is a discontinued-generation model, so condition and accessory completeness matter more than when buying current hardware.

The Dash Cam 45 is Garmin's compact older-generation dashboard camera, not a generic 45-degree model. Garmin documents 1080p recording, GPS and a 2-inch display, with incident detection that saves footage when an event is detected.
