Looking for a Good GPS

I'm new to RVing and many have suggested purchasing a GPS specific to RVs. Any experiences and suggestions, especially one that allows you to enter vehicle height and route you around such obstacles as well and around tunnels that do not allow propane. I was looking at the RVND™ 7730 LM GPS, but it got poor reviews on Amazon. Granted it was only 13 people. Anyone else have experience with this or other GPS units that they like?

    Ours is a regular Garmin and it has never put us anyplace that we did not want to go. Just for a further FYI, the MT search and rescue people all use Garmin, the others are not accurate enough.

    I have used the Garmin 760LMT for the past year with good results. I will say that the RV routing on occasion has wanted to take us miles out of the way when the auto routing was shorter with no low bridge or other issues. I'm pretty sure that no GPS has data on propane restricted tunnels.

    It always pays to watch the roadway signs anyway, as GPS mapping data is usually a year or so out of date.

    Make that 14 bad reviews. I didn't put mine there, but I didn't like mine at all. I'm thinking of getting the Garmin 760LMT, but haven't done so yet. I wish I could find a good functioning RV GPS that wasn't so big.
