I'm an OTR truck driver. This new Dēzl app won't send simple GPS coordinates to my device. Instead, it gives me a list of local retail business close by. It also won't allow me to add stops to my current route. Instead, it starts a new route, so I can't plan an entire trip from shipper to consignee, nor add fuel stops with the Dēzl app. What's the point in using it? You sell a navigation unit for commercial driving. Why not a commercial driving parrner app?

Works ok for the most part. Sometimes it will drop the traffic/weather service and then I have to restart both garmin and phone to get it to work again. The main issue I have with it is looking up your pliot/flying j rewards info on the garmin dezl 810. Love's rewards will pop up every time no problem. But when I do flying j/pilot, it only works once or twice before it won't display your info anymore. Have to uninstall the dezl app and re-install to get it to work only once or twice again.
As far as I can tell the only point in having this app is so that it can constantly fail to connect when it does connect turn your volume all the way up on your phone. I used to keep it just to send addresses which didn't always work but now it's either don't send an address or send an address that makes the GPS have a stroke. The GPS isn't much better so I'm not sure what I really expected. I usually have to wait at least an hour whenever I turn it on for it to figure out that it's a GPS.
Just purchased dezl otr720, installed and deleted dezl app (several times) because I have to keep logging back into pilot thru dezl to get the GPS to show my info. App shows I'm all set to go. The Loves side, on the other hand, has no problem staying connected to the GPS even though the dezl app says I have to finish setting up connecting to the Love's app. It gets annoying to have to keep reintroducing the info.
I can't even get logged into the app. First, they conveniently forgot my login info from Smartphone Link, so I had to reset it. This thing, if you click anywhere other than where you're supposed to, it reloads the password page. If you use a password manager, it ignores it and reloads the page. Now I've reloaded it so many times unintentionally that I'm locked out of the login page. Thanks for nothing. If this thing logs me out and I have to type this long secure password in, I'm going scream.
I thought I was the only one having this problem, then to I read some reviews. It's great when it works but I also keep getting disconnection issues and it won't reconnect. Can't fiddle around with it when you're driving. Sometimes it takes up to 24 hours before it before it connects, Definitely needs to be worked on! No point on buying a $1000 GPS and it can't tell you traffic.
App works only about 25% of the time. If you're not in constant Bluetooth range of your Dezl device at all times, it will fail to reconnect. The only way to reconnect it is to Force Stop the app and restart it, reboot the GPS and hope it reconnects. When it is connected, it changes the volume and ringer setting on your phone, even with all the permissions off. Furthermore, when the GPS and app are connected, the GPS does not pull traffic updates or automatically reroute or anything.
The app was working properly. But I have an issue with both of my GPS. I own OTR 700 and OTR 610. They were both working well, up to the point of the last update. For whatever reason, Bluetooth won't engage to pick up data information from dezl via my phone. Both models that I mentioned. I have tried all suggestions that were given to me in the troubleshooting section in the manual. I believe that if you this fix the bug ( update ). All problems of linking both devices will disappear.
Terrible, both apps constantly drop connection and won't reconnect. I have to uninstall and reinstall the app in order for it to connect at least once a day. What the hell Garmin!? Thanks for the $800 paperweight! Clearly you've lost focus on the trucking side of your products. All the ads, sales, webinars, etc. focus on aviation or your damn watches.
Works okay when it works. Problem is the app will drop Bluetooth connection to my device. Then the app becomes useless. Then I go through six layers of hell trying to reestablish the Bluetooth connection to the GPS so the app becomes useful again. This happens any time I lose signal to my phone. To be able to use the app again, I have to uninstall and reinstall it, then renew the connection. Nothing else works. 5 stars if you guys can fix this glitch, since it works fine when it's working.
