Garmin OTR 1010/810 Full Review

[@frankdaiii6403]

YES......YESSSSS...FINALLY a review that shows ACTUAL uses, not just an unboxing and wasted time figuring out where to mount a unit. You demonstrate some of the "hidden features" that I'd probably learn about during a 34 hr reset. Also your camera work is great. You've cracked the code of "recording what the viewer is going to see" instead of half-screens, pedals and steering wheels. You've sold me on the 10" rather than the 8" for one reason. I am a HUGE believer in using technological resources for efficiency and i can tell from your video it's going to be easier to punch on the go with a larger screen. You're also transparent in pointing out some of the "cons" of the unit. Definitely the best review video I've seen in the 3 hours I've been researching on YT. GREAT JOB!

[@ClutchTrucker]

Thanks. I do a review that I’d want to see.

[@MrFahrenheit99]

THIS is the review I've been looking for for months! I don't give a crap about unboxing and and it's accessories. I want to know how it works in real world scenarios. Thanks for the great video!

[@ClutchTrucker]

Glad I could help!

[@midwest1228]

Best review I've seen. I have the 810 and you really helped me understand how to use all its features. Yes they are priced to damn high!!

[@ClutchTrucker]

Yep

[@intjsavagery219]

You are the man. You did a great job, a thorough review. I bought an OTR710 today and a fried. Of mine says “go exchange it for an OTR1010 and after watching your review, I’m sold. Trucker path has gotten me this far, but I need a better truck gps. Thanks much brother. 👍🏾

[@GypsyMoves-ne1nf]

I went from the 610 to the 810 can't go wrong lads Solllllld to the rookie from werner enterprises 😂

[@frontcentermusician]

So glad I'm not over the road anymore. I use mine mainly for traffic and construction and making detours. I do like being able to custom build my route.

[@billm5433]

Thanks CT for an honest review of the Garmin. Appreciate your efforts. Have a great day.

[@frankcerne1553]

Great description. Thanks for time you took. I’m going with the 810

[@kevincourser8717]

Sir, that review was excellent, thank you. I currently have an old Rand McNally and need a new GPS. You've convinced me to switch to Garmin. Safe travels!

[@grovedwayne390]

Does your GPS lose charge even when it's plugged up. My Rand McNally has been doing that for months

[@drec7366]

Brilliantly done Thank you i was just regretting spending $800 (best buy 2 year warranty)

[@libby5335]

Good review! We have several Garmin items and on the whole are pleased with them. But nothing we have is as complicated as yours!

[@Sanjko87]

Wow that’s a great gps. Definitely need to get one. I really like the satellite view showing on the map to know how things snd buildings look like where you going to. That’s like a huge help.

[@ORam...]

I was pretty set on getting the 1010 model, and this video made me a lot more comfortable with shelling out that amount of money. I can deal with all of the minor, negative issues. It still seems with it. Especially if you get it for a decent discount.

[@IbexArmamentLLC]

I don’t know what prices you’re seeing, but we carry some Garmin units. Also have some of the new 210 on order. We can get you a discount. Just reach out

[@donnadickey5420]

I have the 710 and realize now I need to start looking for the 1010. Points and a sale will be the best way for me to go plus then I will be selling my 710.

[@JohnHallgren]

Do you really need those additional two inches over the 810 for the extra $200? Since an 810 would still be a bit larger than your 710, right?

[@mattman16oct]

Thank you for the very informative video. It is time for me to get a new Truck Gps. I have been using a Rand Mcnally TND720 from 2012. It still works, but it is very old. Thank you I will be getting this OTR1010.

[@ClutchTrucker]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jzwildman]

Thanks for the review. I have the otr800 and i can't decide if i want to upgrade. What i like is the ability to schedule your stops. 45 min for unload 1hr at the DC and i have a time. I also like that i can put in custom pois. I have over 2000 of them downloaded into my gps using garmin poi loader. I use Google maps satellite view to find my entrance then I send that to my dezl app which then sends it my gps. I love that feature also.

[@matthewmonsees8288]

Finally watched this because I'm liking at upgrading my old 700. There was a setting in my 700 to turn off the u-turn thing. I think it was in the same place to say yes or no to toll roads.

[@neftalib100]

Garmin gps is the best gps I saw in your videos I have Dezl 700 and 810 sometimes have problems with updates but it works normal without updates but truckstop locations it’s only failure but setup for hazmat load its work for me good.

[@ericward9159]

Good review... I have the 1000 & my favorite feature is the Garmin Drive app. I can drop a pin on Google Maps & hit SHARE, select Garmin, then it will route me to that exact spot. Also, it let's me know when an accident or heavy traffic is coming up & suggests a route around it. Love my Garmin 1000. When it dies, I'll upgrade to the 1010.

[@drec7366]

Thanks for this information I seen. Another video and was about to return it because of that video

[@CZMarcus]

Thank you so much for this review, it is really helpful. I want to buy the OTR810, so far managed to save 610 out of 699 USD in points at Flying J, so I am pretty close and looking forward to it very much. But I might reconsider, the bigger screen on 1010 looks awesome.

[@ClutchTrucker]

Glad I could help!

[@randylehmberg9624]

The 1010 magnetic mount has an aux port you can connect to your truck stereo and Garmin will speak through your truck stereo. Problem with this is you can’t stream through your truck while doing this.

[@gamebladee]

I am just getting my CDL. I grew up in the Midwest with 100-mile farm radius rule. I have been driving truck for 5 years, I started at 18, and I am now 24 completing my CDL training to go over the road. I know I have more experience than 70 percent of truckers going, but I am scared/nervous. I don't care if it is 2k or 100 bucks....I want the best routes....I do not care about fuel stops or breaks....I just want good roads and the best routes for trucks....What should I research or buy? Thank you all in advance.

[@IbexArmamentLLC]

Be careful out there. The best drivers I know never claim to be in that camp. As for tech, Garmin has the new DEZL 210 coming out. Maybe you want to look into that. We have most of the Garmin units and prices are better than most. Reach out.

[@SteveCChapman]

Hi Clutch. I grew up in North Carolina and we pronounce Mebane as MEB-in. Now I live in Ohio and there are dozens of cities that are pronounced not as they are spelled, more for me to learn. Hope this helps. Safe trip to NC! Eat some bbq for me!

[@ClutchTrucker]

Thanks

[@Garrison64]

Saved my Pilot points the last few years and just got myself a free 810 which was also on sale. I’ve been using Rand the last few years. So far the only thing I don’t like is the onscreen icons. On Rand I had actual Pilot, Loves, TA ect icons and rest stops and weigh stations were clearly marked on my route map. I found the poi menu on the 810 but it isn’t intuitive how it works at all. I’ve also noticed that sometimes icons show and sometimes they don’t. It’s very confusing and I miss that from the Rand way of doing it. I do really like the Birds Eye view feature and the satellite images. That is very helpful. Both Rand and Garmin make boneheaded choices at times but overall they do a decent job. I’m just hoping the Garmin works out well for me. I won’t have points for another gps for a few years now. lol

[@ClutchTrucker]

I wish they would combine the best of the Garmin and the Rand McNally into one

[@Garrison64]

That would be nice for sure. I’ll have to say that so far I like the Garmin a lot better. I think that says a lot for it considering I’ve used nothing but Rand products the last 10 years. The icons on the map for poi’s are the only thing I don’t like as much. Everything else is much better. I’ve gotten used to the set up of routes pretty quickly which is the main use anyway and I like how it does routing a lot better.

[@yoooo3231]

Seen this video 10 times and still only use the basic features

[@dave.lawrence.3894]

Use what works for you!!! Stay safe out there!!! 😊

[@SeanMcGee-h3v]

Ya think you can show that again. Lol Thanks for info I’m about to buy a upgrade this week.

[@kaneslayer3467]

Garin does have a dashboard stand/mount that just sits on the dash. It clicks in the back of the charger for the dezl GPS. I got mine on Amazon

[@jamesmcgee2447]

Thanks Clutch 👍🏻 like this GPS

[@lewisborlan1]

Great review the one thing I would like to add, is on the back of the mounting block. You can change how you mount the unit an add whatever ball mount you choose

[@ClutchTrucker]

True

[@anthonytruitt1830]

This video is great, thank you

[@randylehmberg9624]

Picked one up because Loves has them on sale for $700

[@ClutchTrucker]

Very cool

[@gregrhyne9409]

Great review Clutch, but just so you know you left that phone number visible from whoever texted you hello. I got the OTR1000 because of your video. Not sure if I’m going to upgrade. Seems very similar to the 1000 and I don’t use satellite view enough to make it worth being the flagship reason I upgrade. Thanks for the review though!

[@ClutchTrucker]

If u don’t think the satellite view will be helpful. Stick with the 1000

[@robertclark9]

I didn’t get my first GPS until 2003. I had the same exact Rand McNally road atlas I bought in ‘78 up till then, and I still have it put away to this day. Back then you had your atlas, a vague set of directions, and hopefully luck was on your side. 😂😂😂

[@cornmanjr1]

How would road Atlas from 78 still help u out in 2003. A lot of work and expansion had happened since 78 on roads.

[@robertclark9]

@@cornmanjr1 I don’t use it anymore. I just keep it for nostalgia. It traveled with me for 40+ years. Still has highlighting marks all over it from the old days, personal notes, etc. A little keepsake for retirement.

[@ClutchTrucker]

😂

[@TK2HOTSHOT]

I really find your content informative, thank you. Do you also use the Garmin for ELD and IFTA?

[@ClutchTrucker]

No. Tried the Garmin ELD. But did t work well with my Coronado. Use Motive for ELD and IFTA

[@froglaps40]

It's sad the only models with the built in camera are the 7" models.

[@remi1213]

The map is more fluid on Rand mcnally 750, and also we see truck stop point on map a little bit like Trucker Path show's...

[@ClutchTrucker]

Interesting

[@mdreaz918]

It’s does show low bridges? ???

[@Fishook606]

Great review

[@JohnHallgren]

Did you possibly include two variations of same thing because at 12:51, seems like I saw something similar in first few minutes? And then the Shape Route at 14:34 is an second version of the prior one… Obviously if you recorded different segments of same features, keeping track of what was what can become a problem sometimes… But showing multiple examples can be beneficial also…

[@ButterToes-q3g]

!!:Alert:!! I hope this gets your attention Mr Clutch Trucker !! You don’t cover how to track your miles per state for IFTA on this video that I could see and I really need to know if there is a way to do that because their videos aren’t helpful and my client I driver for as a contractor has me using the IFTA app and it’s not holding miles correctly.

[@ClutchTrucker]

I found Garmin is off by at least a few miles per state. Not a good think to judge your IFTA miles in

[@chrispitre4269]

How did you Bluetooth a speaker to it

[@donnadickey5420]

Great question. Thanks for asking.

[@ClutchTrucker]

Just in the Bluetooth menu on the Garmin. Works great

[@thebear6751]

Can you look up dot cameras

[@ClutchTrucker]

No

[@169Aquarius]

So how can you get garmin to say speed warming or railroad crossing

[@ClutchTrucker]

It’s in the settings under navigation

[@tatt2]

Good morning does your garmin have the Garmin app Where you can look the address up on your cell And then you Can send it to your garment

[@tatt2]

garmin not garment

[@ClutchTrucker]

Yes it does

[@nontoxicmasculinity-goodby3094]

Are the 1010 and 810 any better in towns with lots of truck restrictions? Good examples might be South Plainfield, NJ, New York City, and even Bensalem, PA (where I delivered this morning). My Garmin 800 is terrible in all of those places. Even when there is a clearly marked truck route,, my Garmin simply refuses to allow me to go the way I know I'm supposed to go. I was right in front of a cop this morning who was waiting to see if I went the way my Garmin wanted me to go or if I stayed on the posted truck route. I'm glad I was paying attention! I've tried to alert Garmin that they have things wrong in lots of different towns and cities, but they never change it. I have to memorize my route every time I'm in Queens or Brooklyn. Common knowledge among truck drivers (say, about bridge heights) just doesn't seem allowed to find its way into the Garmin universe. I still haven't figured out how to keep it from hijacking my phone calls. Is there something in settings?

[@ClutchTrucker]

I don’t run the 5 Burroughs anymore. So I’m not a good person to answer that. Sorry

[@nontoxicmasculinity-goodby3094]

Did you have time to completely read my comment? I understand if you are pressed for time. Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving!@@ClutchTrucker

[@Vengancejr]

If you have your phone hooked up via Bluetooth just go into the Bluetooth settings on your phone or the gps and remove the phone permissions

[@geraldsouza6815]

I have an android phone, and unfortunately I've found that if you turn off the phone option on GPS it disconnects. Must do it through the phone settings, and not the GPS settings.

[@drec7366]

Needed this information I will receive my GPS Monday and I was about to send it back because the phone feature and Bluetooth head set

[@ZOMBIJO]

Love your videos, how does it do with keeping you out of residential, I’m going into flat bedding and some shippers have warehouses in the middle of towns. I worked for Werner for 6 months delivering to dollar generals. I get anxious trying to get to some places that are in the middle of small towns and got routed through a neighborhood. 😅

[@ClutchTrucker]

Does better than other gps units I’ve had in past to keep me out of trouble

[@matthewknight5641]

I bought the small Garmin then replaced it with the largest rand McNally. Now I just bought the 1010 and I'm using both the rand McNally and the 1010 at the same time. The both seem to have their strong points

[@ClutchTrucker]

I wish both companies would make one great unit

[@ClutchTrucker]

Not that I know of

[@tedc6694]

[@ClutchTrucker]

1010 and 810 are the same. Just different size. Don’t know about 829

No. I use Motive

[@robertbaker1164]

Thanks for the video clutch... Is there a video out plug on these mappers or some way to cast it to a large screen monitor I have set up where the passenger seat used to be?

[@ClutchTrucker]

I don’t think I can cast the video. But I do use a Bluetooth speaker for extra volume

[@alanhefter4659]

Excellent video. Well done. Is there a charge to keep the maps updated or do they update automatically? Also I HIGHLY recommend Tackform GPS mounts. Check them out. They are legit and built to past. Great stuff great customer service.

[@ClutchTrucker]

No charge for updates

[@Macomooko]

Do it show how many parking spots are in the truck stop like the Rand do???

[@ClutchTrucker]

No

[@jacoboakes4845]

My rand McNally is crapping out on me now and I was looking into the Garmin 810. This review helped a lot and I love singing the beggin' strip song. One question: the DEZL app said it has real time traffic updates, will it adjust your route if there are major slowdowns ahead?

[@JohnHallgren]

Another poster here says his Garmin 1000 model suggests a route around those situations but I don’t think any GPS will adjust your route without your approval first.

[@ClutchTrucker]

Yes it will. It will also warn you of closed roads and reroute. Very helpful

[@iKilLaMoDz]

How is it for grocery deliveries by chance? I've been thinking about getting one because just use the Hammer App but it always just wants to take me to the front of the store rather than the store pits.

How is the traffic? Does traffic alerts come before your in it or before you get there? This is very important to me. Thanks.

Any thoughts or opinions on the Garmin DezlCAM GPS/Dashcam? Has a built in Dashcam on the back of the gps

Finally!

[@cheapspace]

Isn’t it just easier to find addresses using google maps you can just copy the address from that to the dezl app and send it to the gps

[@ClutchTrucker]

You can. I just don’t like doing that

[@cheapspace]

@@ClutchTrucker well I understand I just wished Garmin would like you said put all those truck stops on the same list in fact I would volunteer to add new places if that was an option they could even ask other drivers to verify new locations. I would also wouldn’t mind paying up one version price for the same size unit if I had a faster processor installed in the gps to make it smoother and snappier.
