Hello
I just chatted with Garmin because my photolive icon greyed out and the app is now missing from the apps area. They told me they're discontinuing the app. I've only had the drivesmart 55 a month. I thought photolive was such a cool feature. Pretty sad Garmin are disconting such a great feature.

It's lie everything else now-a-days, cut-backs are the name of the game.
Garmin has removed many things from their maps, and it makes me sad.

IMHO it won't be long before they abandon the auto-motorcycle-rv-truck lines altogether and focus on watches and hiking apps. It's a shame because those lines are what put Garmin on the map, so to speak.

what is photolive?
Garmin photoLive is a paid service that provides live images of traffic conditions on major roads and intersections. It's available on some Garmin devices that are compatible with the Smartphone Link app, including the Garmin Drive, Garmin DriveSmart, Garmin DriveAssist, Garmin DriveLuxe, Garmin RV and Camper, zūmo motorcycle, and dēzl truck navigators. To use photoLive, you need:
A subscription to the photoLive service
A product model that ends in LMT-S
To be connected to Smartphone Link
Once you have these, you can use the photoLive map tool to see live images from the nearest traffic camera ahead of you, along with the distance to the camera. As you pass the camera, the device will load the image from the next camera. You can also save cameras that you want to view regularly.

Confirmed I see the same. I only ever tried it once and the image never loaded so never tried it again.

Have a DS 55, never used it so I don't even know what it looks likes. I won't miss it.
Thank you....
