Thanks for your video driver. My rand mcnally 720 took a crap after 8yrs. I've been searching for something better, I now found what I want thanks to your reviews.

[@daryllneuburger4946]

Congrats 🎉 glad to see u finally got it know u have been waiting for awhile

I bought one the OTR 1000, I get it tomorrow, I can wait, and can’t wait to see your views on yours.

Congratulations enjoy I hope u like it

[@joebaker2610]

Hey clutch. Just watched your video. Basically the same with the 700 but of course smaller scale. I don’t have icons for apps. Just displays in grid form. But this is my 1st garmin and can’t wait for next video to learn more tips. Already learned a lot from this video. Lol. Thanks

[@MidlifeTrucker-ThomBell]

I love my Garmin DEZL OTR 1000. I mounted mine at the top of the windshield. On the Rexing, the V1 Pro has GPS built in without adding anything.

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 I'm interested you l like you [phone] textme over there that's my WhatsApp number baby

[@ClutchTrucker]

True it is a good option I actually had it briefly and then I returned it because my camera would keep switching positions since it was movable around all directions I guess the unit I had just wouldn’t hold it in place very well so I went to the one that only moves up and down in that state and place better for me

[@sodbuster518able]

Never mount to top of windshield,has further to fall and break plus obstruction of view.always mount bottom of windshield near dash.

[@MidlifeTrucker-ThomBell]

@@sodbuster518able I mount to the top center of the windshield. It’s been there three years, in three different kind of trucks. Technically, by the new guidance, safety equipment is supposed to be in the upper part of the windshield. It doesn’t obstruct because it is over the company outside facing camera and truck lane keep assist camera. My Garmin has never fallen.

[@SEEPHUS1]

Hard to have restraint in there😂 Thanks for the the unboxing. Definitely an upgrade to the 780 which I have and which I’ll probably upgrade to the 1000 now which I was skeptical to do .

[@ClutchTrucker]

So far I’m impressed

[@ohiofjr]

Great review. Looking forward to your next review as you put it to use. I have a 785 and called Garmin about it’s choice of routes. Nothing can be done about the fact that it will run you on country roads instead of a 4 lane highway to get some places. Would be nice if you can drag the route to make it go on routes you choose.

[@ClutchTrucker]

You essentially can. It’s called “shaping “. I’ll go into it on the full review. Worked on my 780

[@ohiofjr]

Learn something new every day. I called Garmin and they didn’t know. Looking forward to your next video on this.

[@l.a.raustadt518]

Good upgrade. I used a Garmin (for auto) in my semi years ago. Would not recommend it as no bridge heights shown. This 1000 is worlds better and much easier to actually see.

New subscriber in the last week. I have only used Garmin, friends that have their own aircraft, only use Garmin. Only serious ones for me. Brother in-law had Rand McNally when he did cross border runs. Like you, he switched to Garmin at the end. Tomtom has a trucker GPS?? No information on that one. Best wishes all, stay safe.

So far it’s pretty much everything I love about the 780 but bigger and easier to use and better features

[@azcactusflower1]

I've often thought clear 3m Scotchgard film on the windshield would be helpful for chips?

[@ClutchTrucker]

I like that that idea. NASCAR windshields have a peel off layer. That would be nice

[@jessecrookes4969]

I got the BlackVue 900 for both my car and truck. Best dashcam ever. I love BlackVue

[@ClutchTrucker]

I’ll look into that one. Thanks

[@jessecrookes4969]

@@ClutchTrucker it's expensive. The 900 is $700. My old dashcam I paid for $250-300. I think it was called 570 or something. It's on their website. It records for 5 minutes. No screen on the dashcam for distraction. Pull up on your phone to see video. Check it out, you might like it. Anyways, my break is over. 695 miles to get home for my son's first Christmas. Hopefully donner pass on 80 will be cleared and I'm not in that storm tomorrow 😭

[@andrewkolarek4551]

Awesome video’s, but question on OTR 1000, I drive a flat bed truck , and I don’t need truck routes, can you use this one for just car routes too?

[@ClutchTrucker]

Yes, you can select truck/trailer, straight truck, bus, or car

[@janmccarty7150]

Awsome CT

[@rannyhammond8138]

Which Rexing dash cam are you using?

[@jpsworld1978]

From your unboxing the 1,000 comes with more and better mounts than the 780 only comes with the window - mount very small

[@ClutchTrucker]

Yeah I’m glad it has those options like I showed in the video if I weren’t using it sitting on a desk shelf I will try one of the other options because I found no suction cup mount no matter who makes it will stay on the window very well

[@elijahrose7913]

Love the information. The 2 things I am currently looking for is a dash cam and a GPS. I would subscribe to this video if I wasn't subscribed already.

[@ClutchTrucker]

Like I said in the video Garman is good at GPS is but it’s terrible - cams I’ve had nothing but bad experiences with Garmin dash cams like I also said in the video try the Rexing at least it’s lasted and at least it’s a lot cheaper

[@Flamezf]

I'm trying to decide if I should get the garmin 785 version with the dash cam or the otr 800

[@ClutchTrucker]

I’ve said in previous videos that Garmin can’t seem to make a dash cam that lasts more than six months. I’ve had a combo unit before and it failed within six months. Go with the otr 800, then buy a Rexing dash cam from Amazon or Best Buy

[@beetlebailey]

780 also has the browser as well

[@ClutchTrucker]

Yes I think it does I was just pointing out that I would probably use it on the OTR 1000 because of the nice big screen as opposed to switching up my phone

Just want to start off saying I really enjoyed your video since I started subscribing my question is I just started a new job driving a motor coach which of the Garman GPS that you have had would you recommend for this job. Say hi to Rusty

[@ClutchTrucker]

I probably want a smaller unit. I think you’d be very happy with the 780

[@outperformancelife3145]

Is it possible to use the suction cup to put it on the dash?

[@ClutchTrucker]

Possibly. I just let it test on my dash shelf so I don’t have to worry about it falling

Yeah. My mic on the iPhone seven isn’t the best. I’ll start saving up

[@adrianaguirre9384]

Hey clutch just bought this awesome Dezl1000 thanks to your review! My question is, does the gps part need wifi to be able to work and route. I know it needs wifi to update, weather, web browse ,etc? Im only able to route if its connected to wifi. I do have an omnitracs from the company which does have wifi but need to obtain the wifi password from fleet manager. Thanks

[@ClutchTrucker]

The OTR 1000 connects to your phone via Bluetooth that’s how it gets the traffic info and all of that the Wi-Fi on the unit itself is only needed for downloading updates or if you want to connect it to your phone via Wi-Fi hotspot so that you can use the web browser that’s included with the device. But like I say for a regular navigation the only thing you need to do is connected to the Garman Drive app on your phone and that way you’ll get current live traffic

[@adrianaguirre9384]

@@ClutchTrucker clutch your awesome! Thanks for the info i was looking like a fool in the truck trying to figure it out! Wish they could make it more straight forward!

[@NotAnInternetPornStar]

I just bought the PTR1000 today, but the acc of the ball mount does not fit in the back of the GPS because the ball is too big for the hole. The hole is too small so I like to know how to use the mount so I dont have to put it on the windshield

[@ClutchTrucker]

I didn’t try other mouth it came with it I just use the windshield mount but have the actual unit rested on the shelf on my dash

[@NotAnInternetPornStar]

@@ClutchTrucker I meant to say OTR, not PTR. But I had to order a Ram Mount Short Double Socket Arm 1-Inch Ball Base since I already had a ball mount on my dash from a Qualcomm no longer there so Im going to use that to put my GPS there

[@DJMCJohnnyJ]

Hey Clutch, will it give low bridge warnings?

[@ClutchTrucker]

Yes. My old 780 always did

[@King_Alpha001]

So the only thing that’s different between my 800dzl and the 1000 is the two inches. But software is the same I assume

[@ClutchTrucker]

Yes. The 700 uses different software. Not as many features

[@coffeesnob7600]

@@ClutchTrucker Would have been great if those different features/software would of been highlighted before I purchased the 700, which I now have to exchange. I literally looked everywhere to see if there was a difference but couldn't find any. I actually prefer the 7" size.

[@rickybinion176]

Does it have a fuzz buster(radar)?

[@ClutchTrucker]

That would be an awesome feature but no it doesn’t

[@brettking2]

Just got the OTR800. Thanks for the video really good. Can you pair the GPS, iPhone to the parrot 550 headset to work all together? I’ve tried and I have to keep disabling one to use the headset. Any help would be great! Keep up those great videos!!

[@ClutchTrucker]

Sorry I have a blue tiger, and I haven’t tried pairing to both. But I will now.

[@ClutchTrucker]

OK I just did it and it does work with my blue tiger although I had to kind of do it in a certain sequence to make it work. So you might try this with your blue parrot. When I tried to pair my blue tiger headset to the GPS when it was already paired to my phone the GPS rejected it or elite plus rejected it. So I had to turn off Bluetooth on my phone turn off Bluetooth on the GPS then turn Bluetooth on on the GPS connect my headset first of the GPS then turn Bluetooth back on on my phone and reconnected that way manually and then both stayed connected. Try that

[@brettking2]

@@ClutchTrucker thanks for much!!! I’ll try in a few hours. Also does the voice on your unit have a low volume with the volume turned all the way up?

[@brettking2]

Also in case you get questions about the 7” or 8” gps; I wouldn’t recommend the 7”. I opened the 7” and looked at the mounting stuff such as windshield mount along and the ones included with that unit are extremely cheap and they did not grip my windshield and would allow the gps to come loose. The 7” feels cheaper, in my opinion. I looked at the 8 and it’s a completely different setup where as the 7 plugs directly into the unit, the 8” has the power connector plugging into the mounting square; similar to the 10”. I would have loved to gone with the 10” but just couldn’t swing the extra $200. My wife is already complaining about the cost of the 8” at $599. I have a few other questions do you mind me asking?

[@ClutchTrucker]

Yeah, I’ve already contacted Garmin. I’ll explain more when I do full review video this weekend

[@brooklyn-nt9ws]

can we set up back up camera with this DEZL 1000?

[@ClutchTrucker]

Apparently yes, however I’ve heard the

[@ClutchTrucker]

I’ve heard the range is only 45 feet. Do it would probably only work on short box trucks, but I’m still looking into it

[@kaneslayer3467]

On the older one you could change the voice command name

[@ClutchTrucker]

Apparently that’s supposed to be coming up in a new update will see

[@rbk77]

Hey Clutch, I wanted a ask you a question about OTR spec. I could not find it anywhere online. Anyway, could you please check what’s RAM storage on the new DEZL. You can find it in the settings (memory). Please do not confuse it with storage/internal storage. My dezl 780 has 1gb, and that affects how quickly gps builds a route or looking for up ahead truckstops and stuff, on my dezl 780 it takes forever if the route is longer than 1k miles. Thank you

[@ClutchTrucker]

Memory shows as 1.9GB. Storage 20GB

[@ClutchTrucker]

I have found on either unit turning off trip tracking or trip history help save your internal memory and make things calculate a lot faster

FYI if you can not find an address or intersection on your OTR this is what you do, go to google map on your phone find address or intersection, pin exactly where you want to be on the map if its on intersection, for address just leave it as is if all info is correct , tap share, you will be redirect to a bunch of app included the Garmin drive tap on Garmin drive tap Go the OTR 7000 8000 or 1000 will take you to the exact spot where you drop that pin

My question is for anyone, is it too big where it blocks your view? We run 2018-2020 Freight liner Cascadias and im on the fence between the 800 or the 1000 cause of potential size problems. Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks

[@ClutchTrucker]

I have a huge tall hood on this Coronado, but I could see it maybe being an issue with a cascadia . I’ve owned two. If I were still in a cascadia, I’d probably go for the 800. Plus it’s $200. Cheaper

This comment is not pertaining to this video sir. I posted recently about the hours of service compliance for omnitracs. I said that everything was working properly as it should but then I found out that it wasn't. Usually if I do a 2 Sleeper Berth it's before I've driven far. But now I found out that the second part 7 and 8 Hour split is not giving me back the time I used before the first break. It's only giving me back the time I didn't use at the end of the day which doesn't help me. I talked to my fleet owner and he's looking into it but it's a shame that these things can't get done right. Maybe it'll work if they install the Tab 4 Sleeper Berth split option. Because mine doesn't have it.
