My view on 7inch Garmin dezl 770 GPS for truckers or semi trucks , this large screen GPS is a good piece of equipment for a decent price that gets the job done and then sum . with a DOT hrs of service app and a lot more .......
Thanks for this video sir! Greatly appreciated
Brandon A you're welcome . Thanks for checking it out .
You're right as much as they cost ! It's crazy that's why I try to buy used .
And nice review...you sound like someone I'd like to have a beer with.
NYVET thanks, yeah I do like beer for sure , lol
Trip planner is a Singh put your starting point in then you add your next stop then hit add stop again and then you add your destination
Walter Jones yes that's how I did it but it still was confusing once you get to first stop to delete & go to next so I just don't use it myself anymore
Yes he is right on how to do your stops . Thanks Walter for that answer
O my , I've NEVER experience any problems like either one of yours before . That may be a defective GPS ???
It's better to have it than not have it but when you buy it you are told that you have free live time traffic updates, which you just don't get. For example: In Scotland on the 30'th of August 2017 queensferry crossing was opened and new roads before and after the bridge were built, Today is the 17'th of Decemeber 2017 and the GPS still doesn't know about the existence of the new bridge or about the roads before or after the bridge, it tells you nonsense about roads that don't exist anymore, another example: motorway M8 between Edinburgh and Glasgow the part near glasgow was renovated almost a year ago and it shows some nonsense about a 50Mph limit on the motorway which doesn't exist for a long time, as it was a speed limit only for the renovation. It is missing updates about closed roads like in Ediburgh city. There is a function that shows you which lanes you should be on before roundabouts or junctions but sometimes it tells you and sometimes it doesn't. The holder that attatches to your windscreen falls off every 10 minutes, and its infuriating if you're driving through a busy city and can't fix it. But that's just a detail, the worst things are the updates about roads that should be there but aren't, if a new road is built then half a year later it still isn't updated. It talks nonsense about roads that don't exist. Unless Scotland isn't as important to Garmin.
I paid almost £400 for it, as in the package there were free traffic updates, so what did I pay the money for? if it doesn't work and I need to find the way myself. You can connect it to your computer every week with hopes for new updates and after 3 hours of installing updates its the same shit as before. This isn't funny if you work as a driver professionally. I need exact information in new places that I haven't been to before. Instead of Bullshit. Before I had a TomTom Trucker 6000 and it was even worse than this, I had to return it to the shop as it didn't work at all. Out of those 2 it's better to get the Garmin. It works badly but at least it works.
yes I must say on 12/10/17 I updated mines from 4.0.7 to 4.0.8 and NOW when I take i95N exit 104 to go to pilot to fuel up here in Va. it tells me it`s not truck accessible ?!?! and it clearly has 2 or 3 TRUCK fuel stops on that rd. so i`m a little disappointed with the update to mines i hope they fix this SOON. and I Thank You for your imput . it helps others also.
They need to allow you to customize your routs to favorite stops. Sometimes their routing sends you to little back roads that can get you into trouble if you arent paying attention. I have even had the damned thing make up its own roads, right through someones backyard. It isnt fool proof.
O my sorry to hear that it making it`s own routes up , I`m with you on being able to make your own routes up bbecause im on a set route down i81 everyday from Pa - Va and i pretty much use mines for the arrive time and traffic because it Always tries to get me over to rte15 - i270 but i keep going so it just changes route after a while . you think it would remember it after a while and stop trying to send me that way But it doesn`t
NP , hope it helps
You can turn the phone call off in settings on the gps.
Jonathon Copeland yes you can , I turn mines off a year ago
Oh my God. I purchased this thing and didn't realize it was for trucks. Should I return it? Can it work like a regular GPS?? I feel soooo dumb. Go ahead, let me have it.. but do tell me if this will work just as good.
Apple Carpenter now that's kind of funny but really I'm not like that , But your fine it has a selection for car mode so 1 thing for sure at 7" in the car you should be able to see the screen with No problem .
Finding a couple things I don't like...but still overall WAY better than Rand's junk! I wish someone would take the best features from the Rand SuckNally (which aren't many) and add to all the good features of the Garmin, like SHOWING the exit numbers on the map, being able to 'avoid road' so it never even tries to send me that way, being able to update WITHOUT A DAMN COMPUTER (that one really bothers me!), and a magnetic mount/charging dock. Actually really bothered by the Jack of those few things, but love the fact that the Garmin realizes we do drive trucks in NY, NJ, CT, MA, NH, VT etc...the northeast, but seems like Rand could care less about this area, so many inaccuracies it's not funny, and I love the voice command feature. So either way we have to 'settle' for one or the other and choose the 'lesser of two evils'...but I'm kinda getting tired of settling. Why can't someone make a damn product with ALL the features, since we're being soaked $400-$500+ for these things!
Mark , Did u or have u in the past went with the Rand Mcnally gps however the battery did fail . I was cursory did u or have u ever had a rand mcnally if so what the better one ,
Hello, no I haven't had the rand McNally GPS but if I do purchase another 1 I'm planning on trying the R McNally 730
Do not buy the tablet Rand McNally the charging ports fail. I used my tablet one maybe 50 time and it will no longer charge out of either ports unless you hold the cord
Do.you know wht traffic cable it comes with. The hd 60 or the 36.??? I bought one used from a guy but didnt have the traffic cable..
i`m Not sure what cable your talking about , i bought mines used as well , sorry for just getting back to you i`m not getting my notifications
@@marksview1787 never mind I bought one on eBay for $30.00 the 60.
I noticed on the DEZL 770 does not connect WI-FI.
Hello to be honest I never tried to connect to WiFi if I update it I just plug it into my laptop.
So you have to be hooked up to internet to find truck stops...
No it should pickup from where ever you are I know because I just tried it out before I answered , and im in my house where i film the review and its 69miles Stephens City Va ( High Point Truck stop ) just for example .
My home address can't even find it it's the worst
With zip code is no way to find loads .
Ref. D. Not sure, you may need to update your gps through your computer I don’t have any problems finding my home address
Does this gps warns you about low clearance bridge
M T I haven't seen it warn me about any clearance of bridges but I would say that's due to it let's you know what roads are truck friendly to drive , so you SHOULDN'T in counter any low clearance bridges on your route once you configure your truck length and height.
Marks View1 thanks
M T No problem
Will it work with the profile of the 26 footer ??
johnny ramirez hey Johnny if your referring to a straight truck yes I had to look at GPS to confirm because I usually only pull 53'ers so I looked at it Never used it myself but it is on there though .
johnny ramirez SORRY I never got the notice that you asked a question, yes sir it does good with straight trucks as well as cars also.
I have a DEZL770. You do not explain in the update procedures that you can not use the Mini USB port to do updates. I did not realize that it had another port. Seriously you need one port for all functions on your devices. UNIVERSAL SERIAL PORT AKA USB. Your current port system is just stupid.
I drive for a living doing deliveries in a van.
1. You have no icon for a van. Many types of vehicles are not represented.
2. You need a database with Make & model of every vehicle. Thus you would know the average fuel mileage of the vehicle in use.
3. You do not have a Fuel mileage log in the dezl770. AMAZING, Are you this ignorant of such a basic need ?
4. I need to be on the right side of the road not the left side, in front of my delivery address. NOT across the street. you need a drivers delivery route program that puts people like me on the right side in which to park. Else we get run over by traffic.
5. Speaking of parking, You have a "Go home" button, Why not a Park button ?
6. Another stupid thing is, the first three menus I have to view and go through EVERY time I start this unit. VERY ANNOYING and time consuming. They are ignored and thus useless.
7. I want a machine that learns my habits and starts on the screen I most use. The enter an address screen.
8. Your whole address entry system is terrible and slow. I can not even enter a zip code, which would greatly reduce the address search time. DUH!
9. Magellan has an excellent address entry system and it works. Copy it. Unfortunately the rest of Magellan units are not so good.
10. It should be able to calculate fuel mileage and recommend gasoline station when our running low. then automatically ask how many gallons were added when parked at a gas station and recalculate the mileage to next refill.
11. I want a machine that learns my preferred driving routes and stops trying to take me on side streets, bike paths, alleys and bad roads.
12. I paid big bucks for a professional unit and this is the best you can do ? This unit has not had a serious update in a decade.
13. You can not even adjust the screen icon size.
14. You need new programmers. Adults are using your devices and they appear to be designed with cute graphics for children.
15. Your Bluetooth does not make a copy of ones contacts within the unit. DUMB.
16. Your updated maps are out of date by one to two years. Any new housing built within the last 6 months I have to use google maps.
17. If I have to use google maps, what do I need your device for ?
18. Your updates are slow in coming and very slow to do an update.
19. You need to step your game and stay competitive.
Hire new programmers too. Your current programmers suck. You programming is linear and not redundant not circular.
Milwaukee Wisconsin and surrounding counties.
Very disappointing Garmin.
Wow , sorry for all your troubles but this review is for truckers ( semi's ) I cannot speak from a Van's point of view but it would seem to be easier if you put all your info such as length with and so forth of your vehicle so I am not really sure what all your problems are. Far as fuel and adding and subtracting your miles for you is ridiculous it really tells that you really know nothing about truck driving just from a little van you really didn't need to spend the money on a truck drivers GPS, seems to me you need a accountant and a calculator to figure out your milez and your fuel economy for your little baby truck. and as far as updating there's a cable that comes with it you download the Garmin app to your computer and it is self-explanatory. For the record I have Rand McNally GPS and it sucked to me so I still stand by the Garmin GPS for truckers. So you not being a trucker just a van driver explains 99% of your problems you bought the wrong item. Good luck and happy trails.
Garmin is the worst gps ever for truckers, DO NOT BUY unless you want to get lost and drive in circles
Wow you must have got a lemon never had any problems but I did have problems with Rand McNally.
@@markt7143 lemon for a gps ? Nope not a chance... garmin just sucks, there's no excuse for it. Yeah rand McNally is not good either but waaaaay better than garmin
@@mcdusfl sorry you're having such bad luck with GPS Garmin has not let me down no complaints here, and it may be your area where you're traveling bad satellite positions not sure.
Skip the crap and get to the review.
