When you're shopping for a new trinket for your car you're probably not thinking of a dash cam. When I think car gadget, it's trunk speakers first and foremost but Garmin's compact dashboard camera does have many uses.
The idea of a camera on your dashboard may make huge tech enthusiasts excited, but even for the less technologically engaged individuals, the concept is still quite interesting.
The camera comes with the functionality to start when you turn on the engine, has a gravity sensor that knows when you've been in an accident (just in case you know you weren't sure or something) and records in full HD. It's already gained huge popularity in European countries like Russia.
