Reviews for dēzl™

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

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 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Best all around GPS I’ve ever had. I’ve had Cobra, then Ran McNally and now Garmin. Hands down the best. Easy updates, live traffic without having to go through hoops, weather info a great plus. Addresses a little off at times but for the most part when it is, leaves you close enough. When trying […]

Being able to see weather and traffic on a Garmin device is a nice feature. Having your phone’s Bluetooth default to the Garmin speaker is a terrible idea. Name one truck driver who thinks that making and receiving phone audio through a tiny speaker on a GPS unit over the loud roar of a diesel […]

Touch and go at best. When it works, it does what I need. But the BIGGEST issue that I have experienced on an almost daily basis is the App not connecting to my OTR 800 if I turn the device off. Major inconvenience due to the necessity of unpairing the device on both ends, deleting […]

Simple but effective. One thing would be that the GPS unit is short in memory, phones on the other hand are more powerful. They could add a few more features. As it is now? It’s like walking into a nice classy room and enjoying the scenery, then leaving and forgetting it after time because it […]

Overall my experience with the device/app has been very good. the app itself is very Bare Bones No frills. It’s here to connect your phone to the device which includes other services like the truck apps, which displays Vital Information on the device for your convenience. I only wish there was a way to update […]

Ugh, this is so annoying! Seriously, all those updates and downloads are insane. I started updating in the morning and it was still going at midnight, and it still wasn’t done 😑. Then the GPS just stopped working and shut down.I currently possess two Garmin devices. Following a reset to factory settings on one unit, […]

I definitely enjoy having the Dēzl app, as well as my Garmin OTR500. There is a few some improvements that could be made that would help. It would be nice if the app/device could adapt as it routed paths. Meaning, taking into consideration paths already traveled that may be different then the directed path from […]

400 dollars for a GPS and the app won’t talk to the GPS saying it’s not connected via Bluetooth but yet the GPS will make phone calls off my phone. real nice guys. this will be getting returned in the morning. There is no buttons. that makes it difficult to turn up volume and brightness. […]

I really like the Garmin, it’s easy to use and I can navigate exactly the way I want to go with ease. I wish at the bottom the tabs. Instead of how fast you’re going, I wish it was an option for the mile marker. There is one, but it’s on the right and I […]

I have the OTR725. The device itself works great. I haven’t had any issues over the year that I’ve had it. the app however… it crashes multiple times while I’m trying to access the videos to put on my phone. It will also randomly disconnect and kick me out even though I’m right next to […]
