Garmin International, Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ:
GRMN), today announced an exciting new generation of 7-inch truck
navigators – the dēzl™ 780 LMT-S model and the premium dēzlCam™ 785
LMT-S that boasts a dash cam with cutting-edge advanced1 driver
assistance features2 for truck drivers. Both navigators are
designed to help big rig drivers stay connected, alert, and on
track during long hours of service thanks to new built-in Wi-Fi®
and free live services3 for traffic, weather, truck parking, and
more.
“For the very first time, the trucking industry will have the
ability to receive advanced camera-assisted warnings from their
truck navigator,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global
consumer sales. “Road safety has always been a priority for Garmin,
which is why we’re pleased to introduce features that can warn
truckers of potential incidents.”
The all-in-one dēzlCam 785 adds the built-in dash cam4 to
automatically record the drive and save video files of detected
incidents. The dash cam provides advanced driver assistance
features, such as forward collision and lane departure warnings, to
encourage safer driving behavior.
Featuring high-resolution 7-inch displays with powered magnetic
mounts, the dēzl series pairs with the new subscription-free Garmin
eLog™ compliant ELD5 to wirelessly control, view, and record Hours
of Service on the dēzl navigator’s display. What’s more, the Garmin
eLog app is preloaded into the dēzl 780 and dēzlCam 785 navigators,
eliminating the need of smartphones or tablets to complete the
FMCSA-compliant solution. The modernized feature-set adds built-in
Wi-Fi for truckers to easily update software, maps, and points of
interest (POIs) without needing to use a computer. By downloading
the free Smartphone Link app, truck drivers will also receive free
live services for traffic and weather updates in addition to
time-saving live parking information that finds available
18-wheeler parking spaces at truck stops. TripAdvisor® allows
owners to easily see ratings for travel POIs along the haul, such
as restaurants, hotels and attractions. The Dispatch and Track
feature is beneficial as an easy route monitoring solution that
lets dispatchers send text messages and addresses to truck drivers
while tracking their routes.
Core navigation features from the new dēzl series include custom
truck routing6 options based on the size, load, and weight of the
truck. Helpful route warnings provide alerts for upcoming hazards
such as bridge heights, weight limits, sharp curves, and steep
grades. The new dēzl series also offers voice control, while
Bluetooth® technology is available for hands-free calling7, and
smart notifications on the dēzl’s display. The dēzl series arrives
preloaded with detailed maps of North America8, millions of new and
popular points of interest thanks to Foursquare® data, as well as a
preloaded directory of Truck and Trailer Services, an important
feature that gives truck drivers the ability to filter truck stops
by brand or amenity – “Flying J” or “Showers,” for example. Break
planning has been simplified on the new dēzl series with on-screen
break notifications in conjunction with recommended
trucker-friendly stops like restaurants or upcoming rest areas
along the route.
In addition to pairing with the Garmin eLog compliant ELD, the
new dēzl navigators are compatible with the Garmin BC™ 35 Wireless
Backup Camera (sold separately) for customers to easily see behind
their truck when in reverse.
The dēzl 780 LMT-S has a suggested retail price of $399.99 and
the dēzlCam 785 LMT-S is $499.99. Both devices are expected to be
available in June. For more information, visit garmin.com/dezl.
