Overview: The Garmin dēzl™ OTR720 is a GPS navigation device, designed by truckers for truckers, with features tailored to the professional OTR (over-the-road) trucking industry. It features a 6.95", easy-to-read high-resolution display. The dēzl OTR720 is compatible with the Garmin eLog Compliant ELD (electronic logging device) which automatically tracks and records your HOS (hours of service). The OTR720 comes with a suction cup windshield mount, a 12-volt USB car adapter, and a 64" USB power cable. Dimensions: Width 6.979", Height 4.173", Depth 0.776"; Weight 8.5 ounces.

Touchscreen Display: The unit is equipped with a 6" wide x 3.5" high (6.95" diagonal) color TFT capacitive touch LCD screen with a super-wide display with 1024 x 600 pixels.

Pre-loaded Maps: The dēzl OTR720 comes with Garmin's City Navigator street maps for the entire United States (including Alaska & Hawaii), Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, and the Bahamas. The maps features 3D terrain views, where available, which show map contours at low zoom levels to give you a realistic perspective of the terrain. Garmin offers free lifetime map updates (of the preloaded map software) so you'll always have the most up-to-date maps, POIs, and navigation information. Map updates are available for download up to 4 times a year with no subscription or update fees and no expiration dates. Map and software updates can be performed by connecting your device to a Wi-Fi network for a direct update, or connect it to your computer and update it through the Garmin Express application.

Points of Interest: You can view millions of general points of interest (POIs), such as hotels, restaurants, gas stations, ATMs, etc., including reviews and recommendations from TripAdvisor and FourSquare®. The OTR720 also includes a wide range of trucker-specific POIs, such as truck stops, lodging, scales (including CAT Scales), and truck parking. You can search and filter truck stops by brand name or for specific amenities, such as showers, Wi-Fi, and truck washes. The unit also includes a directory from Truckdown with over 30,000 truck repair and service locations in the United States and Canada, including those offering after-hours road service.

Active Lane Guidance: As you approach complex interchanges, the Active Lane Guidance feature indicates with voice prompts and brightly colored arrows the proper lane needed for your route. You can also view the interchange in detail with Junction View, when available, showing the information from the actual junction signs.

Where Am I?: The "Where Am I?" feature gives you instant access to important information in case of an emergency. When you select "Where Am I?" from the menu, you get the coordinates (including elevation) of your current position, plus the nearest address and intersections. There are also buttons to help you locate the nearest hospitals, police stations, gas stations, and roadside assistance. You can also save the location for future reference.

Custom Truck Profiles: When setting up the device, you will enter data about the rig you're driving (such as width, overall length, height, gross weight, maximum weight per axle, and number of trailers) or what you're hauling (hazardous materials like explosives, compressed gases, flammable liquids or solids, corrosives, etc.). Multiple truck profiles can be stored in the memory. When you're not driving your rig, you can select a "car" profile, which does not include most of the truck-related features.

Driver Awareness Features: The device has visual and audible features that help increase your awareness of upcoming hazards or situations to help you drive safely. Some of these feature and alerts include school zones, speed limit changes, speed limit exceeded, wrong way/one way streets, railroad crossings, curves, steep hills, grounding risks, lateral winds, prohibited areas, and break planning.

Truck Speed Limits: Trucking speed limits appear on the screen if they are lower than the posted automotive speed limit. The device sounds a tone and displays a warning when the posted speed limit is exceeded, or if there are upcoming speed limit reductions.

Completing a Route: As you approach your destination, the dēzl OTR720 provides truck-specific prompts to help you complete your route. BirdsEye Direct Satellite Imagery provides high-resolution aerial views of loading docks, truck entrances, parking areas, and security gates. These prompts only appear when you navigate using a truck vehicle profile.

Cities Ahead/Exit Services: As you navigate a route or travel along the highway, the Cities Ahead feature provides information about upcoming cities. The Exit Services function lets you search roadway exits for truck stops, food, lodging, rest areas, and weigh stations so you are never left guessing what is around the bend.

PrePass: The PrePass app enables drivers to verify the safety, credentials, and weight of a commercial vehicle with upcoming weigh stations and bypass decisions. You can pair the dēzl OTR720 with the Garmin dēzl and PrePass apps to receive upcoming weigh station notifications. Before you can use this feature, you must have an active PrePass account.

IFTA Logging: You can use IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement Documentation) logging to archive data needed for International Fuel Tax Agreement documentation, such as fuel-purchase data and miles driven.

eLogging: The dēzl OTR720, on its own, cannot be used as a substitute for logging requirements under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). With the optional Garmin eLog-compliant Electronic Logging Device (ELD), you can comply with Hours of Service logging and break requirements. The device notifies you one hour before your suggested break times and drive hour limits, and suggests locations to take your break. You can also keep track of your working hours.

Service History: As you service and make repairs to your rig, you can keep track of the details. Each time you perform a service, the mileage can be entered into the device. Maintenance and repair examples include: Air Conditioner repair, Battery change, Brake Pads change, Engine Oil change, Fuel Vent change, Heater repair, Power Steering Fluid change, Radiator Fluid change, Rear Differential Fluid change, Tire change, Tire rotation, and Transmission Fluid change.

Jurisdiction Summary: The jurisdiction summary lists data for each state or province in which your vehicle has operated during each quarter. The jurisdiction summary is only available in some areas.

Trip Reports: You can conveniently export all the device's trucking logs for improved reporting and tracking of each trip. The unit's trucking logs can be stored on the unit's internal memory or external microSD card (sold separately).

Universal Windshield Mount: The unit comes with the Garmin Universal Bracket Mount with a suction cup that holds the unit securely in place on the windshield. If you wish to mount the unit elsewhere in the cab, a number of optional mounts are available directly from Garmin.

Optional Backup Camera: You can add an optional Garmin wireless backup camera, such as the BC™50 or BC™50 with Night Vision, allowing you to have a rear view of your rig while backing up. You can also connect the camera to a continuous power source for full time camera views whenever you want.

Garmin dēzl App: The Garmin dēzl smartphone app (iOS 16.4+, Android 9.0+) is a valuable companion to your dēzl OTR720. The app provides access to live traffic updates, and can help you find timesaving detours around trouble spots. Current weather conditions and detailed forecasts can help you plan your trip. The app also lets you view photoLive traffic cameras where available to let you see traffic conditions along your route.You can even rate your favorite routes and share your experience at truck-related amenities with other app users.

Memory: The dēzl OTR720 has a built-in 16 GB memory, plus a microSD card slot for external memory. The device is compatible with microSD memory cards from 4 to 256 GB. Memory cards should be formatted using the FAT32 file system, and cards greater than 32GB must be formatted using the device.

Voice Command: You can use your voice to activate and operate the dēzl OTR720. Voice Command allows you to use the device by speaking words and commands and following the voice prompts. After speaking a predetermined Wakeup Phrase ("OK, Garmin"), you can enter the names and/or address of popular, well-known locations. If necessary, you can disable voice prompts without muting the device, so you'll still hear the audible directions as you travel.

Wi-Fi Compatible: You can keep the device updated with the latest maps and software without connecting it to a computer. When connected to a Wi-Fi network, the device checks for available updates, and displays an icon on the screen. The connected network is added to the list of saved networks, and will reconnect automatically when it is within range.

Bluetooth Technology: The Garmin dēzl OTR720 has built-in Bluetooth technology. This allows you to sync the unit with a Bluetooth-enabled device for hands-free calling through its integrated microphone and speaker. You can make and receive phone calls as long as the devices are within 33 feet and paired. You can also receive smart notifications via the Garmin dēzl app.

Indoor Use: When indoors, you can activate the built-in simulator and practice using the unit. This turns off the GPS receiver so it is not searching for satellites.
