Garmin International has announced the dēzlCam trucking navigator that features a built-in dash cam that records video footage, automatically saving it in the event of an accident.

The dēzlCam features custom truck routing for the size and weight of a driver’s truck as well as route warnings for bridge heights, weight limits, sharp curves and steep grades.

The navigator features a 6-inch, touchscreen display, built in dash cam with adjustable swivel lens and a magnetic mount for faster removal and installation. The dash cam begins recording as soon as the dēzlCam is switched on while the Incident Detection sensor automatically saves footage of collisions upon impact.

Location, speed, date and time data can be optionally recorded allowing drivers to know precisely when and where and incident occurred. The dēzlCam can also be used to capture still images allowing truckers to take close-up pictures. Users can also play back driving footage directly on the device or review it on a computer.

A feature called Easy Route Shaping lets drivers modify a route to include preferred cities or roads by touching the screen. The Up Ahead feature displays a constant stream of nearby services like rest areas, fuel stations and restaurants along a route.

The unit has voice-activated navigation, Bluetooth for hands-free calling or to be paired with a headset and it is also compatible with the Garmin BC 30 Wireless Backup Camera.

The Garmin dēzlCam is expected to be available soon with a suggested retail price of $499.99.
