Another plus with this dash cam is the 180-degree wide-angle view. Or you could just get a big microSD card, like 64GB. Shooting in lower resolution can save space, so sometimes it's worth lowering the quality if you're on a long drive and don't want the camera to overwrite footage from the start of the journey.

The camera also films in 1080p 30fps HDR and 720p 30fps HDR - with Garmin's Clarity HDR increasing detail in low-light situations.

At a higher frame rate, the 66W records in 1080p at 60fps - which means the footage will be smoother but lower quality. The Garmin films in various different resolutions, with an impressive 1440p at 30fps (frames per second) High Definition being the highest. Fortunately, you can buy a suction cup mount from Garmin's website for £12. With that in mind, the standard Garmin mount isn't ideal if you want to regularly move the dash cam between vehicles. So, ensure you know exactly where you want the dash camera to go before you fix the sticky side of the magnetic attachment to your windscreen. While the adhesive mount is very strong and there's no issue attaching it to the windscreen, the mount is very difficult to remove once it's stuck on. In the box, you get two different length USB cables - 4m and 1.5m. The magnetic mount is also a great addition, meaning you can remove the camera quickly and easily to keep it away from prying eyes when you aren't in your car. The camera is charged via USB - which means it can be charged using your car's USB port or you can use the USB-to-12v adapter supplied in the box to plug it in via the 12v socket. Upon setup, the dash cam asks if it will be mounted on the left, right or centrally on the windscreen. Smaller dash cams are much easier to hide behind your mirror, keeping them out of your eyeline and keeping you within the law - which states that it doesn’t intrude more than 40mm into the area covered by the sweep of the wipers. Fortunately, straight off the bat, the new Garmin model impressed us. We rated the Garmin 55 dash cam very highly, so we had high hopes for the 66W.

The diminutive unit is a neatly designed little thing, but how does it compare to Nextbase's new - and cheaper - top of the range 522GW dash cam? And, more importantly, does the Garmin 66W justify its high price? What's it like? The range-topping 66W model features an extra-wide 180-degree field of view, 1440p resolution footage, voice control and safety speed camera alerts. Along with the basic Gamin Mini dash cam (which we'll be reviewing soon), the new range also includes the 46 and 56 - which is the upgraded version of the Garmin 55. The 66W is the top of the range dash cam in Garmin's newest range.
