Product Description

dēzl 560LMT Trucking Navigator

Hit the open road with the dezl 560LMT - our advanced navigator for the trucking industry. Designed with truckers in mind, the 560LMT has a large 5" display, extra loud speakers, and external video input for backup cameras. We've also expanded the feature list to include trucking speed limits, truck-specific route highlighting, and trucking points of interest (POIs). And truck drivers aren't the only type of drivers that will like the 560LMT - RV drivers will appreciate the ability to setup an RV profile and calculate routes based on height, weight and length restrictions. The dezl 560LMT was made for life over the road.

Track and Report Your Trips
With your dezl 560LMT, logging and retaining trip information has never been easier. You record fuel usage, and the 560LMT automatically records state mileage for IFTA fuel logging. Easily log your hours of service and driving status, and the 560LMT tracks your hours and automatically warns you of HOS violations. Conveniently export all logs for improved reporting and tracking of each trip.

With a 5" (12.7 cm) high-resolution touchscreen display, dezl 560LMT provides a wealth of information in great detail. Clearly follow your highlighted, truck-specific route on the trucking map (U.S. only) and view trucking violations and warnings. dezl 560LMT also comes standard with Lane Assist with Junction View, which provides photo-realistic views of upcoming junctions to guide you to the right lane at the right time - especially helpful when navigating complex highway interchanges.

Navigate With Confidence
dezl 560LMT combines National Truck and Trailer Services (NTTS) Breakdown Directory POIs with Navteq trucking POIs to provide you the most comprehensive, trucking-specific POI list. Our exit services let you search roadway exits for truck stops, food, lodging, rest areas and weigh stations so you're never left guessing w

This is my 2nd Garmin, the 1st one is in my personal vehicle and both work great. I would have to say that I like this unit a little better than my NUVI. The screen on the 560LTM is just the right size, not too big or too small, making it easy to see and operate. I really like the split screen that comes up in major cities showing you the exit lanes and ramps and keeping the map up on the other half. Another thing that I really like is the fact that unlike my NUVI that every time you go off course it keep saying "recalculating" until the new route is determined, the 560LMT just does it without the annoyance of the repeated audio. I have owned and used this unit for about a month now and other than a couple of speed limits not being right (easily corrected on the unit) it has performed as expected. My NUVI is 3 yrs old and works great so I know that Garmin products will hold up if you take care of them.

Great full-featured Sat-Nav for the Professional driver

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2011

Verified Purchase

My review is admittedly slanted in favor of Garmin products as I have been a Garmin user for about 8 years now. As far as these types of consumer electronics go, you really do get what you pay for. If you go in and buy the $100 Nuvi, you're not gonna get a full-featured Sat-Nav unit - you'll get a map with an arrow on it. This spendier model features all the added benefits of an exit service guide, POI customization, and proximity alerts. I have co-workers that use Nuvi's, and I feel like the Dezl (as well as my old StreetPilot) almost always provides better routing.

PROs - Full featured, easy-use Sat-Nav with fairly accurate truck features such as trip-fuel reporting, low-clearance proximity alerts and active routing. Using 3rd-party websites (listed on Garmin.com) you can download and add all sorts of custom features to the unit using no more that the supplied USB cable and a little PC know-how. I added full lists of all of my favorite road-side food and shopping chains so I am always a few buttons away from finding the services I need out on the road.

CONs - As will all Sat-Nav systems, you should always double check the route your unit gives you against common sense. Double check the Traffic with Google Maps, and also make sure the unit isn't sending you on a 15 minute detour to avoid 5 minutes of traffic (because they will all do this to you). The window mount is sold separately, which some find annoying, but I prefer the included bean-bag mount if you switch vehicles from time-to-time. The ad-supported traffic serice is also anoying, but like other reviewers said, you can turn it off.

The number one complaint I hear about GPS units is that they 'send me on some awful road' or route to the wrong place. This technology is far from perfect, but if you use common sense and re-check the route before you go, I have found that a good satellite navigation system is absolute necessity for the professional driver. I have used non-Garmin units in the past, but prefer Garmin's ease of use, full featured POI lists and multiple search options.

I would highly recommend this unit over cheaper versions, and for the truck drivers out there, the trip logging won't replace your log books, but serves as a great back-up.

Pretty Good, But is there better?

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2011

Verified Purchase

I know many of us are going crazy trying to figure out which of the latest Truckers GPS units is the best value. I have it down to two for many reasons. I will go into why in another review when I make my final decision. No one has written anything (that is no users) about the Rand McNally TND-710. But I will because I just ordered it. I have been using this one (The Garmin dezl-560 LMT) LMT just means included free lifetime maps and traffic updates. The LT will cost you to update the NuMaps (thats the mapping co) after 60 days from purchase. Its worth getting the LMT model for the lifetime updates of maps. Don't get that confused with software updates to fix glitches... they are always free. Now about the lifetime traffic. Well the receiver it comes with that is built into the power cable is free because it throws up advertisements at you now and then. I hate advertisements! I called Garmin which has excellent support as does RM and they said the non-ad power (the traffic receiver is built into the power cable) cable will cost an extra $120.00 and if you want premium traffic and construction service add $49.00 to that. WOW the only thing I can say good about that is its a one time fee. Now to add traffic and speed camera updates thats $25.00 per year. Lets add this up. I paid $459.00 for the unit (560LMT)on Amazon. $70.00 for accessories (Micro SD, Case, Windshield mount, Dash mount)$170.00 for traffic receiver power cord with prem software and $25.00 for the first year of camera warnings. Thats $724.00 all together if you want all the bells and whistles as I always do. By the way all that ado about getting add-free traffic...It sucks anyway. The traffic predictably is poor at best. Just turn it off so you don't see the advertisement. Save the $170.00. Maybe it will get better. Its a 3rd part co so its hard to say. RM (Rand McNally) Says it will offer a similar traffic receiver and service in June when there external antenna, case and other accessories come out. Right now RM only offers map updates for one year so its hard to say what the end cost of this unit will be. I WANT THE BEST! ...So I am spending alot to find out. DieselBoss is the only retailer I could find that was taking the time to compare these two units. Check it out. [...] The info is still coming in about the garmin but I agree with what they say about the Garmin so far.. I bought the Garmin here on Amazon...Best price.

I have owned or used 5 other GPSs to date.

Garmin dezl 560LMT (same as LT but no lifetime traffic)

PRO... *Starts,routes and re-routes fast 10-30sec, no lockup yet *(GREAT ROUTING SO FAR...This is the MOST IMPORTANT feature about any TRUCK GPS.) *Shows the posted truck speed of most roads next to your speed that turns red when you go over. *(Garmin has an unbelievable database) Every address I entered it had. This is not true of Google or even my Co-Pilot (PC-Miler).*Loud Speaker. *Quick access to brightness control. Easy snap-in mounting (No USB plug to plug in every time which can break) * Lane asst ...yea...love that.* Lots of fun stuff and voices you can add from the garmin AND 3rd party websites.

CON...*5" I WANT 7". *Does not show the names of cross streets as you pass them. *You can not just pan & zoom on the nav map. You have to go to a special map screen. * ETA does not adjust or work well at all...but its so bad i'm sure they will fix the software soon. My Co-Pilot ETA works perfectly. * You cannot show ETA and MTD (miles to destination) at the same time. Booo...I want both!. * The graphics could be better. Co-Pilots is Sweet Looking. Sounds like I'm working up Co-Pilot...lol...I'M NOT. POOR POOR Truck mapping almost every time with Co-Pilot...DON"T BUY.

Over View... The Hardware is rock solid, no freezes here and it re-routes you fast if you miss a turn but I wish they had a 7'. *The Software is very good for truck mapping and address thanks to garmins extensive data base but needs improvements on the stuff thats not as important but convenient.

I will update this as I learn, use and remember more. Going on 3 day trip tomorrow. MD-IN-NJ-DC-MD

Lets see what Rand McNally brings to the table with the TND710. I can't wait to get it.

This is a great product. Typical Garmin! We purchased this for our motor home. We love the 5" screen and the extra loud volume. It is very easy to set up and use. We bought it because we can set it up for a motor home:
set up length, width, height, & weight. You can set up the points of interest for auto, RV, or over the road truck. On main roads it has exit info such as food, gas, lodging, etc. You can do: truck, RV, auto, & even bicycle modes. All are easy to find and use. I really like the speed limit function. So many times you get on a road and the speed limit isn't posted for miles. The speed limit on the Garmin was correct every time. The best part is life time maps!
