I have a new Garmin DriveSmart 76 to replace an old Nuvi. I also use my Pixel 7a with my car's Android CarPlay system with Android Auto.
I haven't set up Garmin Drive as I wasn't sure using the DriveSmart 76 with Garmin Drive would pre-empt use of my Pixel with my car's Android CarPlay system. With my Nuvi, it was one or the other but not both.
Any thoughts appreciated!
I doubt that it'd be a problem.
Garmin Drive and whatever a Pixel is, would both use Bluetooth. We all have a variety of Bluetooth devices, that don't interfere.
The Garmin Drive will give you great traffic info.
What's the harm in just trying to use both. If there's a problem, simply unpair whichever device that you don't want.

There are a number of settings that separate the Garmin from my CarPlay features. Like using the Garmin to make/receive phone calls. My iPhone has the Garmin Drive app and works well with the DS65.
