There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I drive heavy haul. I like ability to change and add trailers, axles, weights and dimensions on the vehicle profile. It’s kept me off of weight restricted roads and bridges for the most part.
Dislikes
- Inability to search for a specific exit
- Cumbersome to figure out where you’ll be in, for example, 50 minutes.
- Graphics are utterly a joke. Sometimes I wonder if Leap Frog and Garmin teamed up for graphic design.
- no matter how you go about it, searching for a specific address is a pita. It ALWAYS searches for the address in the surrounding states rather than the city and state you type in.
- The unit randomly switches screens as if I pushed a selection with my finger. I spoke with a Garmin Tech. They’ve had several reports of this and offered free new replacement. I guess you can’t beat that.
- The smart link app does not work. I’ve tried just about everything. The GPS does not recognize that the app on the device is connected even though the phone app says it is. Content of the app is borderline junk. I just like everything to work as it should.
To sum it up, it’s expensive, there is probably a better device out there, I believe a trucker based GPS is critical for a driver, this works ok but is seriously flawed and over priced, if google Maps had a trucker type online google maps I’d by it in a heartbeat.
Oh, last but not least. I REALLY love how the darn GPS suction mount loses suction and falls from the windshield to the dash to the floor. Can it really not come with a permanent sticky mount solution as well as the suction mount?
Super easy to use and it always works.. The mount is excellent as well and you can also buy a commercial grade mount from RAM Mounts if you want something nearly bullet proof..
I’ve had the Rand McNally 7 pro.. It decided to just stop working after 1 year.. It’s very difficult to learn how to use also..
I’ve also had the Garmin 785 with built in dash cam.. Two of them actually.. They’re garbage.. to much going on for the system to handle I guess..
Pro’s:
1) The larger display is nice... I cant imagine trying to use the 5”. I have mine set up with the side bar displaying trip data that helps me out a lot when planning trips and navigating in the city and it still has plenty of room to show a full map. The larger display is just easier to see and touch while driving. It’s worth the extra money.
2) The maps are pretty up to date, and as long as you upload the latest maps, you shouldn’t run into any major issues if you have it set up right. The Unit asks you to enter the dimensions of your truck so it automatically routes you around low bridges and roads that are prohibited to trucks of specific weights and sizes... I have several set ups depending on what trailer I am pulling and in some places a few inches of clearance can make all the difference.
*However, no GPS unit is Magic, and sometimes its gonna put you someplace your not supposed to be... so keep your wits about you and pay attention... this is a tool to help you, not a guarantee your day will just be perfect all the time... Roads under construction, new signage, speed limits and other aspects of road travel change without notice and they just don’t tell anyone. WATCH THE ROAD!!!
3) Voice command is AWESOME... this might be one of my favorite features... its easy to use, and helps you pull up truck stops, rest areas, parking and saved locations without even having to touch the unit or take your hands off the wheel. So if you are rolling and get tired out of the blue, you can plan a quick stop for a rest or grab some coffee without having to stop and start looking stuff up on your phone or do that while you are driving (DONT DO THAT).
Con’s:
1) The mount is just Garbage... I don’t know what they were thinking with this one... and on top of it being a piece of crap, Garmin does not sell anything that you can replace it with that is better than the one included. I like the magnetic aspect which keeps the unit charged and no wires all over the dash... but every time you hit a bump it moves around and so you constantly have to adjust it and put it back in place, which is REALLY IRRITATING. You cant tighten it and as time goes by the problem just gets even worse. Bottom line... The mount SUCKS.
*Also, I have the unit with the included Dash-cam, and this issue with the mount really effects the recordings. In the event of an accident the camera will bounce all over the place and will probably be useless. Plus, you constantly have to adjust the unit while driving to make sure its pointed straight... IRRITATING.
2) Smartlink... when I got this Unit, smartlink would not connect to my iPhone... it took weeks before they resolved the problem and I was able to use this feature... I wasn’t missing much. Traffic and weather notifications are really useless and to be honest, I still rely on my phone for most of that information and its more accurate on dedicated apps.
There are a few other things I like/dislike about this unit... Would it send it back? No. It works for what it is and as far as an all inclusive unit with a dash-cam included its a pretty good value and very good build quality and display.
Once again, this is a tool to use to help you... don’t depend on it. Get an atlas, know how to read it, and keep your eyes on the road, the signs and pay attention to your instincts... oh, and get ready to buy a replacement mount and some zip ties for cable management.
Safe travels.

However, I cannot trust it's maps I posted a photo. GPS was asking me to turn right and there is sign posted on street right turn not allowed for trucks. I drive a big rig so have to be very careful. I cannot trust its accuracy completely. Would be nice if there was an built-in option to amend or report the map.
