I'm very excited to try this camera setup out! I've used some other dash-cams before and my latest purchase before this was a huge disappointment. I bought the Garmin VIRB XE in a local store here in Sweden. Up until a couple of months ago, people weren't sure about the legality of using dash-cams. Some authoritarian websites claimed it to be illegal, but my reading of the law concluded that anything that requires you to be in the vicinity of the camera when it operates is fully legal. So finally my interpretation of the law was confirmed by one of the highest authorities and dash-cam use is on the rise. Unfortunately there is a lack of good dash-cameras to be purchased locally. Every single camera myst be manually operated by pressing a bunch of buttons to get it to record. My goal has always been to plug it in and forget about it until something interesting happens. The Garmin camera operates just that way. Every time you start the vehicle, you have to turn it on to record and not forget to turn it off when you leave the vehicle. Finally I'll have a good quality camera that will start and stop recording automatically! I'm just not allowed to use the parking function as it's regarded "surveillance" which requires a permit. Thanks to everyone who backed this Drop and made it possible to get it for a good deal! And drive safe! :)
