How does the Garmin DriveAssist 51's Travelapse feature work


The Garmin DriveAssist 51's Travelapse feature is an innovative function that creates a fast-motion video of your trip. Here's how it works:

1. Automatic or manual recording: Travelapse can be set to record automatically when you navigate a longer route or saved trip. Alternatively, you can start and stop the Travelapse recording manually[3][4].

2. Variable capture rate: The feature adjusts the capture rate based on the length of your trip. This means it takes photos at different intervals to create an optimal video length[2].

3. Video creation: Travelapse compiles these captured images into a short, fast-motion video that provides an overview of your entire journey[1][2].

4. Sharing capabilities: The resulting video can be easily shared, allowing you to create a quick visual summary of all the places you traveled[1][5].

5. Dash cam integration: Travelapse utilizes the built-in dash cam of the DriveAssist 51 to capture footage for the video[5].

The Travelapse feature essentially turns hours of driving footage into a concise, shareable video recap of your journey. This can be particularly useful for long road trips, allowing you to create a memorable keepsake of your travels without the need for extensive video editing.
