dēzl™

What dēzl™ does

dēzl™ is a companion app for professional truck drivers using compatible Garmin dēzl navigation devices. It connects the phone with Garmin hardware so driving-related information can reach the navigator, including live traffic, weather and fuel prices. The app is best suited to long-haul and commercial drivers who already use Garmin equipment and want supporting information without relying on a separate source while on the road.

Useful tools for truck drivers

• Traffic, weather and fuel data: Send current road and travel information to a paired Garmin navigator.
• PrePass® support: Drivers with an active PrePass account can receive weigh-station bypass decisions and notifications on their compatible device.
• Smartwatch features: Garmin dēzl Edition smartwatch users can access workout tutorials and track travel-plaza reward points.

How it works

This is a connected companion rather than a standalone navigation app. Its main role is to link a smartphone with compatible Garmin hardware and keep selected information moving between them. After pairing, it is intended to reduce the amount of manual interaction needed during a trip. A compatible Garmin navigator, and in some cases a dēzl Edition smartwatch or PrePass account, is required to use the related features.

Ratings and suitability

Garmin publishes dēzl™ in the Auto & Vehicles category. It has a 4.59/5 rating from 8,434 reviews and records 100,000+ installs. Those figures make it a relevant choice for truckers invested in Garmin’s dēzl ecosystem, but less useful for drivers looking for a phone-only navigation solution.
