Here Are The Top 10 Best Truck GPS Systems 2019

Smaller truck GPS (Garmin also offers a 7-inch unit) with a Dashboard mount and a 5-inch display.

The Garmin Dezl 570LMT is designed mainly as a GPS for trucks, although, according to one reviewer, it could also prove to be a reasonable purchase for those who drive smaller vehicles or cannot make space for large 7-inch units. Like most other 5-inch trucker GPS models, this 4-star unit pretty much offers the fundamentals, such as truck routing (obviously for customized routing, depending on the weight and dimensions of your vehicle) as well as a digital log of things like fuel usage and truck maintenance.

Out of the Dezl 570LMT's 720 reviews, the most positive ones include a reviewer commenting on its efficient trucking routes and easy free updates, while others kept their comments short and simple, saying things like it works well and my husband loves it. Another user praised this 5-inch trucker GPS's routing system, calling it a huge time-saver, but also noted that it occasionally gets speed limits wrong, buy hey, what kind of GPS does not have hiccups once in a while, right? No GPS is perfect and worth blindly following after all, as one user puts it.

A few buyers were not as enthusiastic, however, with most of the negative stuff being thrown at this truck GPS unit focusing on its being defective right out of the box -- a recurring occasional complaint with most consumer products, especially that some of these users were talking about a refurbished unit. Some users also cautioned that it has tendencies of taking you on weird routes (GPS should never be taken without a grain of salt) and it sometimes failed to locate even prominent addresses.

At the end of the day, our review crawler algorithm, after weaving its way through a total of 3107 reviews for truck GPS systems, concluded that the Garmin Dezl 570LMT certainly belongs to our list of the top 10 truck GPS units on the market.

Because most trucks have large dashboards, the dezl 760LMT (like other 7-inch truck GPS units) addresses this issue by simply being more visible with a display size of 7 inches while also featuring a few bells and whistles designed to meet the needs of today's truckers.

While the dezl 760LMT's large display makes it easier to see what's on the screen, Garmin also claims that the ((Q))extra loud((Q)) enhanced speakers are designed to make it easier to listen to spoken turn-by-turn directions. The GPS device is supported by lifetime map and traffic updates catered to truck drivers who want to locate relevant points of interests and find alternative routes to avoid restricted roads and delay-causing traffic jams. Other features that truckers may find handy include wireless camera compatibility (for keeping an eye on the truck's rear when moving in reverse) and customized truck routing which allows users to plan their trip while factoring in the vehicle's weight, profile, and type of cargo.

The dezl 760LMT is not without its flaws. Many users critical of this GPS unit complained about inaccurate routing (a complaint, however, that is common to most GPS units and illustrates how important it is to take GPS routing with a grain of salt), with some having been directed to take unnecessary detours. Some users also noted that it also freezes occasionally, which could keep it from telling a driver to make a turn at the right time. It's also interesting to note that it's not advisable to mount the device directly on the windshield as drivers could run the risk of getting ticketed because of the unit's size, as one reviewer found out the hard way. After analyzing over 420 reviews (both positive and critical), our system gave the dezl 760LMT an adjusted score of 3.5-star.

Easy to see, easy to hear, and being trucker-friendly has allowed the dezl 760LMT to rank as one of the best truck GPS navigators.
