Garmin introduces refreshed dēzl OTR navigator series with insights from fellow truck drivers

High-resolution GPS truck navigators include satellite imagery for expert arrival planning and new community-based guidance to keep drivers informed on their routes

Garmin released its next-gen dēzl^™ OTR series, latest lineup of GPS trucking navigators. Delivering Garmin’s trusted trucking navigation, the new series is the first to integrate with the dēzl community¹, providing insights and ratings from thousands of fellow drivers to help users find best-rated parking spots and navigate to trucker-preferred destinations including loading docks and security gates.

“The newest dēzl OTR series keeps with Garmin’s commitment to making life easier for professional truck drivers. By leveraging the dēzl community, truckers can connect and share their insights to help fellow drivers easily navigate to loading docks, truck entrances and parking locations. Knowing ahead of time if a stop is empty, crowded, well-lit or quiet can help professional truck drivers travel more efficiently and with greater peace of mind.” –Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales
