Let Garmin assist getting you started with your Garmin DriveCam™ 76 navigator
Your Garmin DriveCam™ 76 navigator will come with a vehicle suction cup mount,
vehicle power cable and vehicle power adapter
Let’s begin by going over the Garmin DriveCam™ 76 hardware
The power button is located in the upper right-hand corner on
the back of the device and is indicated by the power symbol
This is used for powering the device on and off
On the bottom-right of the device is the USB-C port,
which is used for connecting to a power outlet in the vehicle with the included vehicle power cable
This port is also used for connecting to a computer or AC adapter
There are two microSD™ memory card slots on the bottom edge of the device
The slot on the left is for adding storage space for maps and data
The slot on the right is for storing video footage from the dash cam
A 16 GB memory card will come pre-installed in the camera slot
You can use a compatible memory card with a storage capacity up to 256 GB for either slot
The camera can be moved horizontally to provide an optimal viewing angle while mounted
Now that we have covered the hardware basics, let’s go over mounting and powering the device
Determine where you would like to mount the device on the windshield
Choose a location that provides the dash camera with a clear view of the road
Clean the area with rubbing alcohol and a microfiber cloth
It is your responsibility to ensure the mounting location complies with all applicable laws and
ordinances, and does not block your view of the road during the safe operation of your vehicle
Press the suction cup to the windshield and flip the lever back toward the windshield to secure it
Next, plug the vehicle power cable into the USB-C port on the device
Plug the other end of the vehicle power cable into the vehicle power adapter
Then, plug the vehicle power adapter into a power outlet in your vehicle
Fit the tab on the bottom of the mount into the slot on
the back of the device above the memory card slots
Press the device into the mount until it clicks
We are now ready to begin the initial setup of the device
Choose your locale and select “OK”
Then, choose a language and select “OK”

select “Yes”
Otherwise, select “No”
Select the pieces of information you would

The initial set up is now complete
If necessary, go to an open area with a clear view of the sky to acquire satellite GPS signals
Lastly, let’s check for available updates to your device
You can use a computer and the Garmin Express software if necessary,
but the Wi-Fi® option requires fewer steps
To successfully complete a Wi-Fi® update,
a wireless connection to home high-speed internet is required
It is important to avoid using a mobile hotspot
Check out our Wi-Fi® Connections video for tips to ensure your Wi-Fi® update is successful
From the main screen, select “Settings”
Then, select “Updates”
Your device will automatically search for available map and software updates
A blue download arrow indicates an update is available
A green check mark indicates it is up to date
Select “Install All” to start all available updates
Read and agree to the End User License Agreement, if necessary
Read the important installation notes and select “Start”
If you have not connected your device to a power source, you will now be prompted to do so
Follow the on-screen prompts
These updates will take an extended period of time
You will not be able to use your device during the update
Once the update has finished downloading, wait for the device to restart
Your DriveCam™ 76 is now ready to use
And that’s it!
