Garmin 725 Dezl - Walmart Entrances

TL;DR: Are walmart truck entrances listed on the Garmin Dezl's pretty accurate? Walmarts can sometimes have dangerous entrances. So far, both stores I tested the trucker entrance has matched what the walmart entrance handbook says.


Hey everyone! I finally got into trucking! I got on schneider on a Walmart Dedicated account and have been loving it so far. I had a question that maybe someone on here had the answer to or had decent experience with (Mods, If this is in the wrong area, I apologize, I was unable to find more specific forums that were involving GPS device questions).

So first thing I learned is that the company GPS Schneider provides in their tablets absolutely SUCKS. The thing loses connection all the time, it will completely give you the wrong turn on a route its trying to send you down. Short and simple? If you use their GPS, you're setting yourself up for failure. Every instructor I had basically said the same thing.

A friend ended up gifting me a Garmin Dezl 725, and I noticed that you can plan your arrival for the various entrances at Walmarts. Some of these Walmarts have some really dangerous, but very inviting entrances that look like the right path to go, but once you're in? You learn that you're in a very bad situation. Fortuantely! Schneider provides us a book that and sometimes a walmart video on the NTransit app that allows you to see the correct entrances and how they recommend trucks get to the docks.

So far, I've tested two Walmarts and verified that the truck entrances are correct and align with the guidance book (That its not sending you into a customer entrance like Google Maps would). So my question is, Any Walmart or Dedicated Walmart drivers use a Garmin Dezl that can vouch for the accuracy of truck entrances for walmarts?

I can manually change the entrance if it doesn't align with the book, but I was curious how accurate they are, since they seem to be made by the Garmin Community. Also don't worry, I will ALWAYS verify the GPS route before trusting it.

Thanks for any help!
