Here is my Garmin dezl otr700 review. the Garmin dezl OTR 700 is the best trucker GPS in my opinion. The Garmin Dezl is a trucker's best friend and this review will show you why. You can find more information on Amazon amzn.to/3tQq467
The Garmin Dezl OTR700 truck GPS is an all-in-one truck GPS solution. It features nearly every function of a commercial trucking device, including the preloaded US and Canada Trucking Maps designed for over-the-road drivers. Expert reviews say that the Garmin Dezl OTR700 is easy to use, has great traffic avoidance capabilities, and can easily handle heavy loads.

@ninovigil2254 2 года назад

Man! Thanks for the advice. Never knew about that. It does help because in the long run you will always keep you from hitting off roof. I once hit a tree going through a neighborhood but that little corner that busted a small hole in the corner was costing the company 5k to fix. But just imagine hitting a bridge and having yourself have to fix your own truck. So would be the most important device to have

@boss-lyfe 2 года назад

I remember going into NYC without one. I ended going into a parkway and the first bridge was 11 ft, I had to back out in NYC traffic. I had to back out sideways on a hill, it was brutal 🙂

I have a question, between the 610 - 1010 versions of this OTR gps. Do you think its worth paying more for the bigger screen? Theres like a $400 difference between the different models. And if im not mistaken the only difference is the screen size.

@boss-lyfe 2 года назад

It's a matter of preference. Big is always better when it comes to a GPS, especially in big cities with low bridges.

What is usually the payload on these trucks

@lukecarter8100 2 года назад

I just learned about a week ago that Google maps has the option to enter manually, turn by turn directions. So for those of you that don’t have the money to purchase such a fine piece of equipment as the Garmin Dezel , perhaps with the right amount of research, a cheaper way could be available. But I’m not calling the Garmin Dezel a bad investment. I believe that it is a fine investment

@boss-lyfe 2 года назад

I've heard someone say you can put it in truck mode, but I've never done it. I don't how accurate it would be.

@fboest 2 года назад

Why the hell our updated Dezl still leads us into roads where bridges are lower even we enter our truck measurements??? Also BS in our user side is that GPS just don’t let to finish destination when there is no house nr…It needs street,house nr etc but we have situations where there is no exact adress just a street maybe. So most of the times we still use GoogleMaps and use this GPS as secondary tool

@boss-lyfe 2 года назад

I'm not sure, I've never had a problem with it. I wouldn't recommend using Google GPS, that will definitely lead you to low bridges.

Honestly, I've never used the GPS ELD. I've only trust Keep Truckin for that. I've heard good things about it, but someone just told me it's doesn't email the records to D.O.T. Great GPS but I'd leave the ELD to people who specialize in ELD's.
