Yes, It Works with Your Semi-Truck
The Garmin eLog™ is a stand-alone, easy-to-install device that connects directly to your truck’s diagnostic port. It supports both 9-pin J1939 and 6-pin J1708 ports, making it compatible with most semi-trucks right out of the box. Just plug it in, download the free Garmin eLog app, and you’re ready to roll. Note: Garmin eLog™ is not compatible with vehicles using the OBD2 protocol (SAE J1979). Volvo trucks with a Volvo engine and a 16-pin J1962 connector will require a 16-pin to 9-pin adapter, sold separately.
Yes, It’s Compatible with Your dēzl™ Navigator
Garmin eLog pairs with a range of Garmin dēzl™ GPS truck navigators (sold separately), including the dēzl 580, dēzl 780, and dēzlCam 785. This allows you to view HOS data and duty status right on the navigator’s display. Some dēzl models may require a compatible smartphone or tablet¹ to access remaining hours directly on the screen.
Yes, You’re Covered for Compliance
With Garmin eLog, you can drive with confidence knowing your Hours of Service records are compliant with FMCSA ELD regulations. It automatically logs drive time, displays duty status clearly, and shows remaining hours by day or week—helping you stay on track and inspection-ready.
Complete Your Setup with the Free Garmin eLog App
Download the free Garmin eLog app to your compatible smartphone or tablet¹ to finish your ELD compliance setup quickly and easily.
Secure, Accessible Records — Anytime You Need Them
Your driving records are safely stored on your compatible smartphone¹ — not in the cloud — giving you full control and privacy. With the free Garmin eLog app, you can view them anytime. When it's time for a roadside inspection, records can be quickly accessed via USB flash drive or shared through FMCSA web services over Bluetooth¹.
