Put in the destination address then zoom into it (and/or use the street view feature) to figure out where a semi truck into it as well as see if there's a guard shack, fencing, etc. If your route takes you through a town, use street view to make sure you'll be able to make the turn (ESPECIALLY if it's a right turn out if the streets make is MAIN STREET) *Don't EVER use JUST Google maps for semi truck routing*

Thanks for making such an informative review. It answered all my questions. Purchased OTR 800. I drive at night making deliveries to supermarkets in interior of BC. Finding your way into most of them is similar to been a contortionist! If entering wrong your up the creek big time... The ability to create routes, edit them and store them is great. 8 months later I'm not relying on memory to setup correct approach. More great tools are the traffic ahead, road closures and weather. In BC we have to contend with hwy 1 through Fraser Canyon, hwy 3 Crows Nest Pass and hwy 5 Coqahalla or the 'coke' as we call it. These highways are subject to frequent snow slides and rock slides. Combined with severe winter weather requiring frequent chaining up. Combining Google Maps, OTR 800 and weather media, provides excellent picture of route ahead.

There are a few things I prefer about the Rand McNally GPS unit I had over my Garmin dezl 800, but overall I much prefer my Garmin. I just wish I could change my HOS settings from the 6/70 to the 7/80.

I have the DEZL 580. I like it, didn’t want the bigger 7”, found it unnecessary and obstructed view. Generally very good. I think the reputation is the Garmin is more durable than the Rand McNally. As with any GPS, always use intuition because sometimes it wants to take me on a wild journey. For example, in the Arkansas Ozarks it wanted to route me off of the main state highway across a bunch of little roads because the state highway had a few bridges that had a 78,000 limit and I have my Garmin set at 80,000 truck. I would have been on a route that was 100 miles longer and on bridges and roads not designed for a semi. Just be aware that these are only as good as the data that is available to them and often it isn’t current or correct. No doubt it is indispensable, but don’t always trust it blindly.

Tip... reset your vehicle weight to your actual weight. Garmin SHOULD have an input for both, but they don't. I don't ever recall seeing a sign telling me I can't take a road based on GVWR unless it's 5 tons or so. Usually (always in my experience) a higher weight restriction (26 ton bridge for example) is actual weight and not GVWR. Hope that helps. Been using a dezl770 for a few years now, this unit looks faster and appears to have several useful improvements. Cost/benefit analysis may not pan out though.

Ed - I just finished 2 wk testing of the 750 and had tested the OTR 800 and Dezl 780 previously. I had to send my Overdryve Pro7 in for battery issues. I liked the 780 over the Pro 7, better lane guidance, louder volume, more warnings: RR, schools, red light cameras etc but adding pit stops was odd. On the OTR, software flow seems somewhat better but had downgraded some features. The distance to warnings like to RR, curves, etc has been removed. Red light cameras is now part of Up Next function, so you won’t have automatic warnings. Speakers downgraded to 2w. Why not keep the 3w, let the user adjust volume. Also on the OTR 8/10” you get mile marker, distance to destination, time, etc. The RM 750, takes some time playing with to add an address, called bookmarks now. When adding stops or planning route, initial distance info is generally off by 10-25%. It showed 611 but when plotted it was 797 with no alternative route. You can’t select remaining time to final now either, only time to next stop. However, you can go to route summary in order for it to calculate it. If you have several stops planned, it will show distance in between each stop. THEY all have weird quirks, some w easier workarounds. I finally got a RAM mount kit to try the OTR again in portrait so it overhangs the dash to have a clear unobstructed view while I wait on RM to return my Overdryve Pro 7, to see if make a final change.

So besides the low pay from what you’ve said, what do you think of them overall?

@RushinTruckin

3 жыл бұрын

They're a decent company. Other than low pay, the other 2 annoyances I had with them was the security code you have to enter every...single...time you start the truck and the no idling between 32-70 degrees. The truck will auto shut off if it's between those temps and with no apu or any other way of running the a/c, it can get quite uncomfortable (think of the greenhouse effect). In SOME of their trucks, that can be overridden by bumping up the idle but it's a luck of the draw if your truck will have that as well. Oh...the other annoyance I had was their slip seat policy. If you were off for 4 days or longer, they'll have you clean your truck completely out and issue it to someone else then give you another truck when you get back to work. Hope that helps.

Rushin' Truckin' could you do a review on Rand McNally 750?

Have you experienced any software problems/freezing problems with your RM GPS? I know 3 people who have had similar issues and they basically won't do anything about it because the software isn't theirs. They only install it into the units. The software is from another outside company so some how they wash their hands of any problems with it. I have a 5 year old Garmin dezel that is getting long in the tooth and have thought about RM as a replacement. I haven't had any problems with the Garmin other than it's routing is many times unnecessarily long and tries to avoid areas you can drive in. I also use Google maps on my phone, atlas and explore the route by satellite & Street view if I am unfamiliar with where I am going.

I tried the 8” TND tablet and that thing sucked! My daily use for the past 200k miles has been the RM 740. It’s treated me well but has it’s quirks now and then like they all do. The routing is good other than the occasional wtf road it wants me to turn on. I still prefer it over this OTR800. If you’re interested, I’d sell this Garmin to you

@@jdm1039 I bought the RM750 a few weeks ago. It would show missing navigation files when updated. It never updated the missing navigation files. It would should a different speed limit then what was posted. It didn't show newer constructed roads. I called customer service about these issues and it felt like talking with a 16 year old kid. I picked up the Dezl otr800 last week. I find it much better and with many more helpful features. Do your research but I highly recommend the Garmin over Rand McNally. I have 15 years long haul experience. Garmin has always been the best GPS for me.

How's it holding up with route directions otr are you having any issues is it accurate and also does it lose signal

It’s been good. Very rarely lose signal and just as accurate as any other one which means about 95% good.

Does your gps takes forever to come on when you first turn it back on?

Not sure your definition of forever but prob 90 seconds? Never timed it

We need a GPS for local,downtown,dense deliveries to place like Orlando,Florida & Tampa,Florida where you have to deliver to stores like #Publix

Anybody know how to reset the trip A & B?

Thanks for the review of the GPS, I do have a question. Is the GPS connected to a WIFI? I noticed some GPS need to be connected to a WIFI hotspot in order to get accurate wether info

Yes, in order for those functions (traffic and weather) to work, it’ll need to be connected to your phone via either Wi-Fi hotspot or Bluetooth. You’ll need to download the Garmin Drive app too

Alright cool, thank you for the reply! Stay safe out in the roads 🙏

I watched the whole hour video or listened rather at 2am - 3am , rather on I-70 westbound between Corbin Kansas & Limon Colorado still undecided between the 785 which has a dash cam and the 800....I think the 1000 might be a little too big

@RushinTruckin

Agreed the 1000 is too big. One thing to think about with the one with a dash cam is you’re having to worry about 2 angles, the dash cam as well as the viewing angle and usability (being able to reach it without strain to look things up) of it. In order for the dash cam to see what’s needed to be seen, you’re limited in the placement of the unit. Just something to think about

is the magnetic mount the same size as the dezl series?

Add a shortcut on the nav search screen for the fuel stop of your choice and will show you all the ones in the viewing level your screen is zoomed too

Would you recommend it? And has the update that was needed changed your opinion?

The update didn’t noticeably change anything. No, I don’t think I can recommend it unless you’re a die hard Garmin fan
