Bright 5.5” Display with Custom Truck Routes

For life on the road, whether trucking locally or for long hauls, the Garmin Dezl OTR500 is built for the job. A bright 5.5” color touchscreen display will provide you with the best routes possible for your rig with preloaded street maps covering the US, Mexico, Canada, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Cayman Island, and the Bahamas allowing you to drive confidently. Wireless map updates can be done via Wi-Fi allowing you to stay up to date without using a computer from virtually anywhere that a Wi-Fi connection is available. Voice assistance capabilities just made the Dezl OTR500 easier to use. Need to find an address or gas station on the fly? Just say what you are looking for and the Garmin will do the rest allowing you to stay focused on the road ahead.

Each truck load you take may be different and Garmin kept that in mind when including custom truck routing. Each truck profile can be set to your specific needs with customizable height, weight, length, hazardous material information and more to make each route a breeze. Built-in prepass notifications make drivers aware of upcoming weigh stations and bypass decisions with an activated PrePass Account and use of the Garmin Drive app on your compatible smartphone. When driving in unfamiliar territories, the Dezl will allow you to view popular routes used by other truckers assisting you with situational awareness as you travel.

Safe driving is key and with Garmin driver alerts, you will always be aware of what’s ahead. Be notified right on your display with upcoming sharp curves, speed limit changes, railroad crossings, and more ensuring each trip is completed with ease. When paired with the Garmin Drive app, you instantly gain access to live traffic, weather, real-time fuel prices and more. Never miss important messages or calls when on the road with the Smart Notification feature which will display text messages and other notifications from your compatible smartphone right on the OTR500 display. Sync your compatible smartphone to the Dezl OTR via Bluetooth for instant hands free calling any time you’re on the road. This makes it easier than ever to make and receive phone calls all while keeping your eyes on the road!

For an additional “set of eyes” behind you or ahead, you can easily add backup cameras to see what’s behind you when your truck is in reverse with the addition of the compatible BC30 wireless backup camera (sold separately). Add a compatible Garmin Dash Cam (sold separately) for a reliable eyewitness view of what’s happening ahead where you can automatically record and save videos during your travels. ELD compliant, the Garmin Dezl OTR500 works with the Garmin eLog device (sold separately) for subscription free Hours of Service recording. This compliant information is shared between the eLog and a compatible smartphone or tablet that’s enabled with GPS and Bluetooth technology.

With the help of TripAdvisor, built into every OTR500, you can quickly and easily view traveler ratings for hotels, restaurants, and attractions along your route or near your final destination. Truck Friendly parking options and search engines provide each driver with truck-specific parking at rest areas and truck stops and truck specific services or stations to find brands or amenities such as “Flying J” or “Showers”. For the best over the road companion, the Garmin Dezl OTR500 is the perfect solution!
