RouteAnalyst - Advanced Driving Analysis for Garmin Devices

I’m excited to introduce RouteAnalyst, my all-new Garmin app that turns your watch into a smart driving analysis tool. RouteAnalyst delivers detailed, real-time feedback on your driving style, safety, and road conditions - directly on your watch and through a web dashboard.

Main Features

  • Detects over 40 different driving events, including braking, acceleration, sharp turns, lane changes, potholes, steep slopes, and even crash events.

  • Summarizes every trip with clear safety, comfort, efficiency, and road condition scores. At the end of each drive, you get an instant, easy-to-understand trip summary.

  • Provides live, on-device alerts for risky events like sudden braking or aggressive acceleration.

  • Offers a premium web dashboard, where you can review GPS-tagged events, see your full trip timeline, analyze speed profiles, and interact with your route on a map.

  • Allows you to calibrate the app for different vehicles and mounting positions to ensure accurate results.

  • Uses an energy-efficient syncing method, so your data uploads seamlessly in the background without draining your watch battery.

Why RouteAnalyst?

Most driving apps focus on navigation or basic stats. RouteAnalyst goes much further, delivering actionable feedback on your driving behavior, road quality, and trip safety. Whether you want to optimize your commute, log family trips, or just get a clear picture of your driving habits, RouteAnalyst gives you the insights you need.

How to Get Started

  1. Install RouteAnalyst from the Connect IQ Store. It’s compatible with most Garmin watches, including Fenix, Forerunner, Venu, and Epix models.

  2. Mount your Garmin device on your car’s dashboard, with the screen facing forward for best accuracy.

  3. Calibrate the app for your car once, and you’re ready to go. RouteAnalyst automatically detects and analyzes every trip.

  4. Review live scores on your watch, and upload securely for a full breakdown on the web dashboard.

  • There is a forever free TRIAL version included! In trial mode, you can use all major driving analysis features, but the online dashboard and detailed trip review are not available. Each session is limited to a maximum of 30 minutes, and the detailed route cannot be viewed later online.

    However, you can still check the trip summary directly on your watch: after a recording, just press the DOWN button in the app (when not recording) to review your results in a dedicated summary view.

    If you have any questions about the trial mode, let me know!
