• Customisable truck routing: Enter your vehicle height, weight, length, width and if you carry hazardous materials, and the sat nav will find routes to your destination best suited to your vehicle and load.

• Driver alerts: Live driver alerts to raise awareness of upcoming low bridges, sharp road bends, rail crossings and speed changes.

• ELD compliance: This sat nav model works with Garmin eLog-compliant ELD (sold separately) for subscription-free hours-of-service recording.

Pros & Cons

Generally, customer feedback for the Garmin dēzl LGV700 MT-D Truck Sat Nav is positive overall. We found it hard to find anything negative reported by the sat nav users.

What we liked about this model is that it comes in three different screen display options, which is great for drivers of larger vehicles with wider cabs.

We like that this truck sat nav model gives you free lifetime map updates via Wi-Fi. The addition of the Garmin Drive app on your smartphone gives you Real-Time traffic updates and delays along the route. It is also easy to connect a Bluetooth earpiece, which is very useful for coach drivers that want to listen to voice guidance, road directions and road condition updates without disturbing their passengers.

If you are an HGV driver that travels regular routes, we like that you can add your regular routes and save them to the memory, so you don’t need to re-enter the route each time you drive it. You can add your commonly used routes, save them and select them again.
