GARMIN DEZL OTR800 | GPS FOR TRUCKERS | IMPROVED DRIVING SAFETY | WERNER TRUCKING OTR DRIVER LIFE 

Smart purchase! I have the 700 , and always guide me on the right direction. I trust it 100%. I recommend you mount it close to the dashboard, when it’s cold or raining it comes off from the windshield ! Enjoy it and drive safe.

Awesome guys!! I got mine has a gift from my niece, once I got done with school, (aka my bg). I love it and I put mine rite where u put yours Kevin., enjoy your new gift! . As always stay safe and keep on truckin!!

I actually referred to my photos of our lovely visit to refresh my memory on if your Garmin was still there. It is!! Great piece; nice big numbers for easy reading while rollin. I definitely see one of those in my future! As always, travel safely...

I have the Garmin dezl 780 LMTS and this thing just works. Yesterday in the middle of an update my computer lost power corrupting all the data in the Garmin. For a while I thought I had bricked the Garmin but today I was able to download all the Garmin data using Garmin Express. It now works flawlessly. Can't wait to get the 10 inch model.

The garmin has been great!! I have the 700 otr and has been a great addition!! And the co pilot from my time with Werner is no comparison.

Thank you so much I was wondering which GPS to buy this really helped out stay safe out there

Garmin is the best!!!!!

Had a really old garmin that finally quit. Been using Google maps the past 3 yrs with not much difficulty. I study my routes well but it's horrible when I get an incoming call right when I need to see my map. Was going to get the dezl700 due to the price but decided to get the 800. Got it today and love it.

I purchased the 800 and later the 1000. Both work great. I use a RAM mount instead of the one that came with the GPS though. The part that mounts on the dash are cheap as compared to the one that comes with the GPS (in the event your truck is out of service and you are given a loaner truck to drive, you can just mount a new $10 RAM mount ball). The different RAM mount socket arms (straight, swivel and swivel & ratchet combination) provide a lot of flexibility for positioning the GPS in the best possible place. One word of advice about any GPS, they are tools. Do not just blindly follow them because they can sometimes steer you wrong! Make sure you review the routing before starting your trip!

Make sure you get a protection plan. Its worth it.

I have used rand, McNally truck, GPS, and I have used Garmin‘s truck route GPS units for years. I can highly recommend the Garmin DEZL (diesel) OTR series gps units. Garmin is by far the best gps units a professional driver can get! It is also highly recommended that you get the garment dash cams and the Garmin headset. (DEZL 100 or 200 that are compatible with the Garmin connect apps. ALL HANDS FREE! Garmin units HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Oh, I almost forgot. There is also a Garmin DEZl watch that is also compatible with the app. All four products sync with the app and can be used hands-free. It’s a great Eco system no other GPS, dash cam, watch, headset like it.

Me and my dad love your videos. He just passed his permit test and y’all made him want to join Werner

I just bought the otr 500 for 250 points from TA and only 19.99 out of pocket expense rang up a $50 discount on purchase.My only complaint on unit starts out wanting address # , I think doing a search from zip code is the easiest way to work towards destination.

Co-pilot sucks. Thankfully I got my Garmin Dzel before coming to Werner. I tried using the Co-Pilot but she tries to take me where trucks aren’t allowed and I have trust issues now. I almost had a meltdown when she wanted me to go where no vehicles longer than 50’ were allowed. Even my trainer told me just to go. I don’t want to play that anymore so I use my Garmin.

well darnit im lookin for garmin setup vid but mostly just reviews

I was literally looking at both of these earlier….

Thanks so much for the info on Garmin.

I've been blowing off looking up GPS units but since u guys got one and have a Amazon bump then when I get my tax refund I will buy this!

Now I know what GPS ill get as well. I'm just gonna need Kenny Riggs' sister to make it complete. Feb 04 Grad date from Jacksonville RoadMaster I HOPE

I purchased the very same GPS. 🥳

Have you been able to use the wireless backup camera? Wondering if the range is sufficient for transmitting to your cab ?

I use paper maps to get me where I need to go

Here is what you have not heard or been told. The OTR800 unit is designed for professionals and Truckers and only for the open road and not for city driving. I provide professional repair services to my clients. Garmin (or anybody) really does not make a GPS device for delivery drivers and service professionals and they should. TheOTR800 is not well suited to the daily driver commute type. The car mode is a joke. It is easy to use but its alot to learn too. Voice command recognition is better but you can no longer rename the device and are stuck saying "OK Garmin ~~~~~" I had a DEZL 770 and then a DEZL780. I only "upgraded" because Garmin is famous for not supporting older models. and I wanted a larger screen. The older models Navigated better with more options. Shortest route, Fastest route, street only, and economy mixed route. This way I could chose to save on gas or save on trip time. The OTR800 does not do this. Its navigation is one minded and the route it chooses most of the time is not the most direct route. Nor can you choose an economy route. Plus you have no choice of what route you you get. Its navigation is far worse tan Google Maps. and Worse than my Dezl780, which was not perfect. The OTR800 wants to use only the fastest route and it loves freeways. Example: If you want to go east on to a destination a half mile away on the same street you are already driving east on and there is a freeway ramp miles north, south or west of your present location. The OTR800 will plot a course way out of the way to that on ramp, telling you to traverse ground you already covered. Just to get you in the freeway. It does not even consider most of the time that the best route is straight ahead unless it can not find an on ramp within its search radius. So you have to IGNORE the device your paid nearly a Grand for or use Google maps to find the address. Plus if you ignore it, it is gets very pushy, tells you are going in the wrong direction, to repeatedly make a U turn until you are within a quarter mile of your destination. THIS IS INSANE. So do not plan on saving any fuel. Now if you are in the open country and need the interstate as truckers do, it works great. But for local city driving, I would go back to my 780 if I could to save on gas. My other gripe is that it's OS is only Android 6. We in 2022 are on Android 12. So most modern apps will not run on it. Also WARNING: APPS Drive and Dezl can not be killed or shut off. They consume power and data constantly I do not recommend installing Drive app and Dezl app on any phone, until such a time as users have full control over the apps. For nowhere in the user agreement does it indicate these apps run 24/7 and can not be shut off. I think they are secretly collecting personal data. The apps really do not help me navigate. They are supposed to warn me of real time traffic and speed traps. This is yet to happen once, in the six months I have owned the OTR800. Last gripe is the on screen warnings and agreement you see EVERY time you boot up the device. Annoying and takes too long. Does not remember the last mode, Truck, Van, Car etc it was in either.. The first thing a good GPS device should do when you turn it it on is show you a map of your present location and ask you where you want to go. Garmin does not think this is important. So Is it better than a 780. No not for my application.. It does find addresses and house numbers very accurately, better than the 780. But on several occasions it took me way out of the way and on several occasions had me drive in circles or drive to the wrong place THEN correct itself. Garmin should add back in the 780 economy features, retain last user settings and learn efficient practical routes from Google maps. mrgcav@gmail.com .

Can we track our truck with Garmin ONZL gps?

Nice!! Why you have 2 of those now? Is it worth it?

Is this good for HAZMAT?

This gps can show you any city and state you get into

How do you run a good routine schedule and still make money? I had to run my clock like a dog and still didn't make much

How to add garmin dash cam for OTR 800?

So this GPS is good for you? I'm getting ready to buy in next week.

That not bad. I wish my girl did the say thing.

How is it working for werner company

Will a garmin drivesmart 65 also work for OTR?

Do you use this, as well as the copilot?

The gps that’s on the Crete Carriers are they any good? Thinking about joining

These are no good for Australia, they don't know the B double, road train and ABTriple routes. Also the Max speed for a road train or above is not 110kph

Oh dear god. Do not drill holes in that truck. They will make u pay to replace piece u drilled holes in.

You would think a truck would come with a built-in GPS like cars do. Why wouldn't that be standard In a truck this day and age.

I use Rand McNally... it's a little better... mounted it to lower windshield.... 🙂

Get a bigger SD card

Look at the tanker parked head first 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

Cost me 4000$! On towing dо not buy it is not for truckers!
