Sending a Location or Coordinates Through the dēzl App
NOTE: For Android users, dēzl™ app version 2.00.09 and newer will need to be installed to send locations from a mobile device. See dēzl™ App Software Versions and Update Process.
You can use the dēzl™ App to search for an address, business, or point of interest and send it to your Garmin device for navigation.
See Installing the dēzl™ App for instructions on installing the dēzl™ App.
Tips on Searching for Locations in the dēzl™ App:
- To search for an address near you, enter the house number and street name.
- To search for an address in another city, enter the house number, street name, city, and state.
- To search for a business name, enter all or part of the name.
- To search for a city, enter the city and state.
- Coordinates are not searchable.
- As you type, suggestions appear below the search field.
- A second location can be sent to the device to add as a via point.
- If you search for and select a location without being paired to the device, it will send the location to the device the next time they are connected.
- You must be signed into the dēzl™ app to see the "Where To?" option. When signed out , only the "Locate Vehicle" button is visible.
- The app will display the location on a map.
It is possible to send locations and coordinates from many third-party apps on your smartphone to your Garmin device using the dēzl™ App. Here is an example of how it may look on the third-party app to share the route or location. (Note: This may be displayed differently on different third-party apps.)
Getting Started: The Garmin device is powered on and connected to the dēzl™ App on your Android phone
NOTE: Only one location can be sent at a time.
1. Open Google Maps on your Android phone
2. Input a location or coordinates, then tap the search icon
Inputting a Location:
Inputting Coordinates:
- Separate with a comma (for example 40.748817, -73.985428), and tap the search icon.
3. Confirm the location on the resulting page and Tap Share
4. Select the dēzl™ App when prompted to select an app to share to
5. Ensure your Garmin device is turned on and has acquired satellites
6. On the Android phone, the dēzl™ App will open and confirm the destination. Tap Send to Device
7. The destination is received by the GPS, and the route begins calculating
- Optional: Once finished calculating, tap the green bar to see destination and turn-by-turn directions.
- Optional: The destination and turn-by-turn directions are shown. To see a route on a map overview, tap the 3-lines, then Map.

The location will be added to your recent searches in the dēzl™ App as well as the recent locations on the device.
NOTE: When entering coordinates, the coordinates may display differently on the GPS than what was entered on the phone’s map application. This is because navigational components default to and use multiple GPS coordinate formats. Your automotive device will still navigate to the entered location. For additional information, see Entering Coordinates on an Automotive Device.
