Garmin - dezl OTR800 8 inches GPS Truck Navigator - Black (Renewed)

I have no major issues with this unit and have been using for a little over 8 months. It's very easy to mount, and you have the choice of landscape or portrait orientation. Like with any GPS you have to use it knowing it isn't going to be 100% accurate 100% of the time. With that said, routing has been okay, with minor issues, like getting you to the street, but not knowing exactly where the building is, or it has led me to the building but doesn't know where the shipping and receiving entrances are. I usually use Google along with the Garmin in those situations. The other minor issue is that last year, I found a newly built Loves from another app that the Garmin didn't list. After a couple of updates, that Loves still doesn't show up. I haven't run into many of these but have seen some road changes slow to show up on the Garmin, and the last minor issue is, sometimes the speed limit shown on the Garmin doesn't match the posted speed limit and may take some time to update. One example is I40 east of Knoxville in TN. The speed limit on the Garmin shows 55 but the posted speed limit is 65. I first noticed this in January of 23 and it was still doing the same in May, after a couple of updates. Overall, I'm pleased with this Garmin.

This Garmin GPS is easy to use, fast to lock onto satellites, and gives accurate directions. The screen is clear, the battery lasts long, and it helps make driving stress-free. Highly recommended for anyone who needs a reliable GPS.

For the most part, I love it. But once in a while, it would freeze or reboot by itself while I was driving. So if you're going somewhere for the first time, make sure you get familiar with the route before you start. A feature that I would like to have is, once I have a route planned out it would be nice if I could input a time (ie an hour) and the GPS would tell me approx where I would be on the route. This is useful when I'm running low on drive hours. If I only have an hour left to drive, I would like to see on the map where I can stop.

It's obvious that the people that wrote the software for this device have actually driven while using this GPS! One of the features I like the most is that you can dry full speed until the GPS tells you there is going to be a curve that needs to be taken at a slower speed. Warnings of reduced and higher speeds before you reach them has me saving fuel by properly gaining speed slowly of coasting before its time. No more having to floor it when passing the 55mph sign when you are tail of the 35MPH zone. There is no doubt that this is a necessary item if you're driving either a large truck or a F350 with a long or heavy trailer. Paired with the dezl app on your phone you can send directions directly from the phone to the GPS. The feature of "add as last stop" makes it easy to chain together multiple destinations. This GPS is so good its a "Have to have" have item for a Full time RVer (I am).

Its not intuitive. It’s not like using Google maps. First, putting in your destination address isn’t as simple as typing it in. On one screen you type the numeric part hit enter and on the next screen you type in the street male, etc. There are no instructions to tell you how to do that. Fuel stops are buried in some tab. You can’t look them up by address. Let’s say you want to use the Pilot in Kingman Az. You can’t put in the address to add it to your stops. You have to touch the screen for the city it is in, then a search button pops up and you get a list of fuel stops on the left pane then you scroll through tons of them, tap on it and it to add it to your trip plan. You can’t update the maps through your hotspot on your phone, it can take a few hours and it won’t work that way. You need a land line internet connection. You also can’t buy the map/software updates from Garmin on a SIM card either. I am only home on weekends, am not paying for internet, am hardly home, it’s pointless. This thing is made ok, I bought a refurbished one to save a few bucks, it was fine. The 8” screen does make a difference but the thing is too fiddly. It can take you a long time to plan your trip. Doesn’t make life easier. Am not doing city driving so I guess I don’t need this thing.

I am a professional truck driver. The durability of this product is okay. The features are very well laid out.Although you will have to go through them a little bit. Screen size to me is perfect. G p s functionality very good, although could use some work. Voice quality it is what it is. I must say, it has been a very useful tool. Take the time, get to know it and you will not be sorry.

Had now for 2.5 years and still getting me where I need to go with the best routes.
