Trucking News - Garmin Dezl 770 Truck Sat Nav Review 

If you want to know how the premium Garmin stacks up against the most popular budget Amazon truck sat nav check out this video, I was pleasantly surprised. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LuijLFWH7aw.html

thanks very much kev for the reply. I Will be keeping an eye out for that comparison video.

Ive had one for about a year and I noticed the same down side. It can be slow regarding road closures. Apart from that its a very good sat nav.

Great review Kev. This is definitely my next purchase. Sound advice too cross referencing with a truckers map. Cheers buddy.

GOOD REWIEV!!!!! I just got my class 1 and I was not sure what to buy. Thanks again for this :)

I use a Zumo 595 on the bike - that has free updates, too. Expensive, because of waterproofing and vibration resistance.. The Honda built-in system on the GoldWing is only update-able via the purchase of a memory card, for over £200! Even the Harley was £110 to update, but once every few years seems okay (sort of). Both bikes' systems are based on the Garmin, but not *exactly* the same. And they never agree how long a journey will be, or whether to turn right, or left, at T junctions.

Not overly important Kev but there might be a situation where it routes you and takes your vehicle length into consideration so worth noting, you have yours set to 40' length when in fact you are 54' long (16.5mtrs) I'd also set your width to 8'6" (2.6mtrs) for the same reason. Regarding the speed being changed by you from 60mph to 56mph remember that that is the EU regulated speed limit NOT the UK speed limit on Motorways and dual carriageways, lowering the speed in your settings may or may not cause you routing issues. Nice review mate but I'm still leaning towards the TomTom 6250 with its far superior traffic info.

Alright Kev! Just passed my theory test the other day and now I'm looking to invest in a good sat nav. This looks rather good so I'll be looking into that!

great video love your BIG MONITOR behind you hahahahahah

We use the same sat nav at work seems really good

I have use two garmin's models these year. One if them gives me weight stations warning by distances (low screen display & docent do good in the city) the new one I have now excellent screen & destination address, but docent give me weight stations warning distance... I woul be later posting Garmin models...

Thanks for this..Passed class 2 3 weeks back and last week class 1....just placed an order following this review. Now just got to find someone to give me a chance! Chicken and Egg me thinks lol

Cool 😎

I use it myself and can guarantee that is the best around in the hardware and software departments

Good review anyone on here had problems with it connecting the Bluetooth to your phone worked fine now stopping working.

I've noticed mine will say there is traffic I get there and it's clear done it a few times now.

Hi Kev, always enjoy your vids. How about a review of all the buttons and controls in the cab? Some of the symbols are rather vague I find and as an agency driver jumping from one cab to the next with little time to investigate other than the essentials. Thanks

Hi great video and thanks for the information. I bought a used one and it seems great but....I bought it of course to keep me off roads where I wont be overweight. However, almost every road i travel on except for our main expressway it says unknown road for truck travel...kind of defeats the purpose of using it. Any tips you can provide would be much appreciated. Thanks, Joe

Good video cheers. Hope to get some driving once the lockdown is over, this would help me no end. Would the app work in a old phone with no sim ?

What do you think of the Tom Tom go professional 520 you heard much about that m8 ? Liking your videos and the 1 where you suggested about the taco app really useful thank you

I have used this gps for the past 1 year and all i can say is to stay away from garmin in europe. I bought a faulty unit with a dead batery from new and garmin has beaten around the bush in order for the guarantee to expire. they have only one location for service in all europe and you have to pay for shipping in order to get the device evaluated. I love the maps and the traffic service but its not enough in our days when you can have acces to 10-15 different hgv devices that are far cheeper and almost as good

Hi Kev, great review do you think it’s better than a snooper truckmate?

Garmin make equipment for planes, that's enough justification for me!

Great review! Do you know what each coloured route stands for, red green yellow blue etc? Cant find details anywhere

Kev are you using a camera with this sat nav if so which one or what’s compatible with it and what headset can u use for it thanks.

Hi Kev just passed my class 2 and looking at sat navs which is the best in your opinion mate luke and Andrew are going with the tomtom 6250 but is it better then the garmin 800/1000

Hi Kev Three years later and are you still using it, Thinking of getting the 780 , Thanks Kev.

i still use this sat nav, have you found any better sat navs?

Oy Oy Kev, I just returned a Dezl 785. I would swear it's a knock off if it didn't come from Amazon. The worst nav I have ever had the misfortune to suffer in a cab. Granted its pretty, but that's where it ends. As the saying goes, " if it's too good to be true it usually is". First trip out with the 785 from Rugby truck stop. So, onto the A5 towards J18 M1. Straight away a fail. Speed limit on the A5 is 50Mph. Garmin says 20Mph lol. Onto the dual carriageway. Oh dear, 40Mph. OK, so see what sipped I should adhere to on the motorway. Yep, funnily it's also 40Mph. At least its the same as the dual carriageway. OK, so I'm off to Nottingham. Off at J24 along a A453 all the way to the end. Sadly Garmin had other ideas, twice along that stretch it told me to take next exit, go round the island and rejoin the A453??? Obviously I did no such thing. Next port of call, Leeds. Instead of directing me towards the M1 North it route me or tried to, back the way I came to J24. Again I ignored the thing and proceeded on my way. Once it rejigged itself it knew where to go. Lol Next fail was in Leeds. I know, from Britvic Leeds to Rugby truckstop is around 2:30, but Garmin said 3:20. Oh and the dash cam wouldn't work because it couldn't see the sd card that was in it from the factory. Total rubbish. Got home pack it back up and sent it back for a refund. Another Snooper will replace it once the refund comes in. Regards Alec

I’m having trouble finding address anyone else have this issue? Any no how to resolve it

Do I need to upgrade my mobile data as I’m on a basic plan at the moment?

Link in the description takes you to the 570 Kev.

Hi Kev, I believe that Dezl 770 LMT-D comes preloaded with EU maps traffic and POI, But i can't seem to find a way to add the poi i need to view by ticking or unticking the poi i need on the Map, it only give you up ahead of 3 poi to choose from to display, and what i been searching for is WIFI HOTSPOT but i can't seem to find it anywhere, any idea please how this works or where it is? . according to Garmin web page info they say its included with Poi. kind regards Noel

I recently bought the 770 LMT- D but speed cameras are by yearly subscription, "A Garmin hidden fee", i thought it was included with the lifetime map updates. TomTom 6250 pro all free lifetime updates inc speed cameras. I always used TomTom i think i get it as my spare. thanks for the vid.

Great video thinking of buying this sat nav just need to know how easy is it to update maps ?

Kev I know this is an old Vlog mate but are you still using this Garmin? If you are would you still recommend it after using it for so long?. If not what are you using now? Cheers 👍

Hi Kev i just bought the Dezl Cam i think its the same as the 770 just with a cam have you seen the cam version, any views on the differences, i just thought it would save having a separate dash cam

its 340 quid tho lol im looking for a decent truck sat nav im just starting out is there any cheaper ones but that are decent??

Just doing my theory for class 2 and hazard perception but also got too do cpc mod2 and I’m really struggling with that part drivers hours vehicle weights etc

Can this be used for coach drivers? It seems very truck based.

Tomtom 620 or this model is best?

Why won’t my garmin find addresses?? Help

I have same sat nav. I didn’t use it over last month and it doesn’t power on. It’s been on charger for few hours and still dead 💀

Hi kev do you think the garmin dezi is better than or as good as tom tom professional 6200 truck sat nav ?

Wish I chose one of these over the tom tom 6000. Blasted things so slow.

In fact this unit is superior to the tomtom

Dezl is pronounced "diesel", maybe?

Hi! Can you please make a video with this garmin 770lmt-d vs a tomtom go 6250? Those two are the best for what I know and I need to buy one in max 2-3 months, but I can't decide wich one :( Some are saying that garmin is the best but tomtom is the leader. Tomtom has build in sim card and you can use his services without your phone and at no costs. Can you please? :D Just rent one if you can find ... PS: Sorry for my english if I wrong somewhere.

Hi Mate! i have not used my 770 lmtd in truck yet, i only updated the software but i noticed that when i set brightness bit under half the light flickers a little bit, I only tried it on battery or usb on Gaming Laptop on a Special charging port.is this normal? over half the bar setting its perfect. regards Noel

Kev where did you get the powered mount from. Did it come with the unit. Cheers buddy.

Hi Mate! is this the 770 LMT or the 770LMT-D? thanks for the VId.

hi kev how are you? I am a new class 2 driver and has been out with a friend on multi drops deliveries arounds leeds city centre. most of the deliveries are within leeds area . my friend is using truck nav which on occasions has put us on the roads where we shouldn't have been. it resulted in blocking the road as the truck got stuck in the middle. My friend is a new driver too. I was just wondering what is the difference between your garmin sat nav and my m8s truck nav. we are both newbies lol and trying to understand these difference. At the moment I have no sat nav and I need to buy one. my friend has paid £150 for his and your set has the value of over £360 . would your set garmin put me on the roads which are big enough for trucks? I do understand that it is multi drop deliveries that we doing at the moment around leeds city centre therefore we may not be able to avoid these routes. I will be grateful if you reply with a bit more clarity. thanks

Mind don't give me a tractor trailer option. Do you know why? & I just bought it

Does ur 770 keep telling u there's a 10 ton weight limit on I 55 north land south bound in Illinois? Mine does and it drives me insane

Best gps truck for uk,??

Mate I've bought a Garmin 780. Got it home and it won't connect to my home wifi to update.. Wifi on, in settings, but no way to put in my home password .. ( TBH, it's doing my nut in ) Any ideals fellow ? Thanks..

What's the mount called Kev?

Just dose it have alternative routes

I do have 770 and I have to tell you is really a garbage GPS. Is deliberately directing me towards traffic and directing me to longer trips. It makes so many mistakes that I can believe is actually Garmin. One more thing it doesn't recognize traffic. It shows that there is no traffic on your route you have chosen, but soon you get closer to the area all of a sudden it changing to red and you have no choice because is already to late to change the route. My opinion is totally garbage not worth it 1 buck.

your sitting on the wrong side of the truck?

err umm waffle waffle

Sell it TODAT $300 cash hit me up-no longer driving will now teach-need it gone by Friday

So...it’s proving tiresome being told you need 180 days experience! Time for the gloves to come off....somebody....give me a chance!!

YAWN

diesel....

leave it switched of for a week and it wont power up been on charge 8 hours still not working rubbish

a legrosszabb amit kapni lehet

Think its time to move on , just so damn boring , listening to him Rabbit on.

In fact this unit is superior to the tomtom
