Does the Garmin Drive.app work with Nav V?

Probably not as the nav v is basically a 590 and the drive app was made for XT onwards It may work with Nav VI

There was an app for the 590/595 which talks to the smart phone. Whether or not it does works with the Navs or whether it does what you want, I don't know. But it does some of what Drive does - weather, traffic, address book, messages etc. But Drive talks to the Explore Website database, which I doubt that smartphone link will do.

Garmin Smartphone Link.

Today, I discovered something really important. I found another way that doesn't work.
