What's a good Android app for streamlining the process of sending location data from my phone to my Garmin navigation device in my car? I'd like to avoid manually entering addresses.

Garmin Drive™ offers a well-researched design for wirelessly sharing locations and routes between your smartphone and compatible Garmin devices. The cross-platform compatibility is a plus, too.

Garmin Drive™ presents an interesting implementation of location sharing between your phone and your Garmin GPS device. As someone who frequently travels for conferences and research, I find the ability to seamlessly send locations directly to my GPS, without the tedium of manual entry, intellectually satisfying. It's a novel approach to an old problem. The app also allows for real-time traffic updates and weather information, which is helpful for planning travel routes, especially when driving to less familiar areas. Furthermore, the app's ability to notify you of speed cameras and red light cameras could be pedagogically sound for younger drivers. The interface is relatively intuitive, which is important for minimizing distractions while driving. Overall, a solid choice for Garmin device users.
