Summary:
* 2 models: Dash Cam 10 & 20 (available in February)
* Dash Cam 20 is $249 & has an internal GPS receiver for data stamping (speed, position data, etc.)
* Dash Cam 10 is $219 (only $30 less)
* Suction cup mount
* Powered by 12-volt system
* Starts up & shuts down when the car does
* Includes 4GB MicroSD card (up to 32gb supported)
* Continuous loop recording (WVGA, 720p, 1080p)
* Wide-angle camera & microphone
* G-force sensor (records for strong braking/hits)
* If you crash, you can remove the dashcam and use it to take still pictures of the crash
It's interesting to see a big brand making dashcams. The BlackVue is still more fully-featured (front & rear cameras, plus parking mode), but is also significantly more expensive ($479 for the top-end model at the US store). I'm sure Garmin will start pumping out various models pretty quickly that compete with it. Neat!
