Truck navigator with built-in dash cam serves as an eyewitness on the road, helping long-haul truck drivers protect their livelihood

GarminInternational, Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. announced the new dēzlCam^ä OTR710, bringing high-definition camera technology to its best-in-class 7-inch dēzl^™ navigator. Purpose-built for over-the-road truck drivers, this all-in-one solution features a 1080p dash cam¹with a wide 140-degree field of view that continually records the drive and automatically saves video of any incidents. It’s an invaluable companion for professional truck drivers who want to protect their driving reputation, serving as an “eyewitness” and source of truth if necessary. Users can easily view and share clips of important videos from a smartphone. Each video clip is automatically stored in the secure online Vault to easily view and share² using the dēzl app.

Thanks to the built-in, high-definition camera, the dēzlCam OTR710 provides advanced driver-assisted warnings, including forward collision and lane departure cautions³ to help increase driver awareness and encourage safer driving.

Building on the robust feature set of the latest dēzl OTR series, the new dēzlCam OTR710 also offers drivers:

A sharp 7-inch display for a clear view and an easy-to-use experience
Custom routing⁴ based on the size and weight of the rig
Road warnings for upcoming hazards, including steep grades, sharp curves and more
Birdseye Satellite Imagery shows high-resolution overhead views upon arrival at a destination
A directory of truck and trailer services for added convenience on the road
Display of loyalty rewards points at participating travel plazas across the U.S.
Built-in PrePass^® notifications⁵ for upcoming U.S. weigh stations and bypass decisions
Seamless integration with Garmin dēzl Headsets, an Instinct^® 2 – dēzl Edition smartwatch and BC^™ 50 wireless backup camera (each sold separately) to help enhance life on the road
