Garmin DEZL 76OLMT

I have one similar , but its the 5 inch version , I like the feature it has , like split screen and soo on .
Either way they all use the same mapping input data.
Definitely a decent one .

 

When you hit the "where to" button, it should bring up another screen. 1 of them should be labeled, Points of Interest. Hit that one and on the next screen, should have a trucking button, hit that. That should take you to the trk stop screen. Most of the stops you'll get, will be the big chain types.

 

I love that feature !!!!!!
It shows rest areas too. Sooo sweet.

 

When you punch trucking icon truck stops it will be set on location you hit the tab that is in the upper right hand corner"nearby" and it will go to a sub menu that has surrounding area, destination, en route hope this helps

 

I like my Garmin's. Always have. The truck stop feature doesn't seem to me anyway to work correctly. It will point out the truck stop but it points with an arrow. I want to know which is the next truck stop on my route, not something that I can find if I turn off and go out of my way. I think that is also what the OP is asking and I do not have the answer.

I love the HOS stuff and the Fuel Tax stuff.

 

When in "routing mode, map screen", click the "menu" option (3 or 4 horizontal bars) in the lower right. then select "exit services" (I beleive that's it) and it will list establishment options, exit by exit, out to about 50 miles or so. The biggest problem with this feature is it is only aware of Loves, TA/Petro's and Flying J/Pilots. The other independent truck stops it is not aware of out of the box.

BTW this feature will also list rest areas and weigh stations and there current travel distance.

 

The one thing about a Garmin that absolutely drives me up a wall, is their tendency to use street names, instead of hiway numbers. Are other GPS's the same way?

 

Yes, the Rand McNally and others do the same thing in cities and towns while off interstate highways. It's a software writing thing and trying to make sure the device works as accurately [and simply] as possible in urban areas. I agree, in most situations I'd prefer to see the highway number if applicable as opposed to the street name ... a detour that may exist in advance is going to refer to highway number, not street name. If anything, it looks like they could refer to both the street name and a "/" followed by the highway number where applicable.

 

Garmin doesn't limit theirs to just towns. Wouldn't mind that so much.
