GPS devices are helpful to get drivers from their starting points to their destinations, but having a dash camera incorporated into the design only adds a second back-up level of safety in case something happens on that journey. The nüviCam LMTHD GPS design by GARMIN offers a combination of the two technologies, with an embedded dash camera that records the ride's every movement in case an accident occurs.
Accidents can happen when consumers lease expect them, and in those moments having a second set of eyes is crucial. The nüviCam LMTHD GPS provides just that with an embedded external HD camera that records continuously from a magnetic windshield mount. If the car is ever hit, the camera automatically saves the footage on impact for closer inspection.
