The Mini is a completely new Dash Cam model for Garmin lacking the small LCD screen display. The 66W also has the same accessory changes as the previous models, that is no Micro SD card but an extra USB cable and the Dual power adapter.
GARMIN DASH CAM 66W 1080P
This was the biggest issue the 65W suffered when it was first released, that despite the wider FOV the 1080p resolution made the picture appear stretched and distorted. The 66W, unlike the other models, has the same FOV as the previous iteration at 180 but because it has a higher resolution it shows a much clearer picture. Garmin Dash Cam 66W vs Dash Cam 65W – Differences and whether you should buy it The accessories included with the camera are the same as it was for the Dash Cam 45 - No Micro SD card but a dual power adapter and extra USB cord in its place. The HDR mode can only be run at 30FPS on both the 1080p resolution and the 1440p resolution. The resolution and framerate have stayed the same but Garmin has built in a HDR clarity mode which improves the colour fidelity of the image. Similar to the 46 model the FOV has increased to give you a wider viewing angle.

The other change is that the new series dash cams will no longer ship with a MicroSD card, you will need to purchase that separately. The 46 model also comes with Voice Control functionality now unlike the previous iteration, this can be particularly handy for incidents that may not impact your car and set off the automatic incident detection.
