770 LMTS vs 800 OTR

Ya up ahead menu, I usually don’t search for truck stop, but when I do I use trucker path.

also the main thing I would like is truck stop preference. Because multiple truck stops at the same location I see Loves being displayed all the time.

 

Following. I have been thinking about getting an 800 as well.

 

are you getting more comfortable with the 800 now ?

 

I bought a 800. Had it 3 weeks. Did not like it. I sent my 780 to Garmin as it had died. They sent ne reman at no charge. Now works perfectly. I sold the 800. The worst thing about Garmins is when you come out of a truck stop and say want head East. It wants you to go west for a mile and make a u turn. Like any gps one must use common sense.

 

Wow that's awesome they sent you one at no charge...good deal

 

Sorry if it's an old bump but I wanted to add my experience with Garmin OTR. Bought the 800 OTR about 6 weeks ago and have been using/testing it. I have to say one of the nicest features is how it Bluetooth interfaces with my phone through the dezl app. This gives me live weather and traffic updates. Traffic updates come through Google maps. So it will show roads on the Garmin like Google maps when traffic is flowing, slowing, or stopped (ie red/yellow/green).

Helped out a lot the other day. Coming south on NJ turnpike and it showed me a delay 30 miles ahead on RT 1 in DE. Was able to cut through new castle and have no delay whatsoever. You can also send locations from your phone to the GPS instead of entering them on the GPS. All around it's been pretty convenient and I check the GPS routes with other directions before i even start.
