Gps's

Hi all ,
Which would you choose between these two,
1-goodsam rvnd 7725-lm 7" or the
2-magellan roadmate rv9365t-lmb 7"
I don't need Bluetooth from a gps or traffic updates

thanks
Rich
  • Update , I found the best price on the Garmin RV 760LMT with free shipping and no tax , so I pulled the trigger. I payed the same as my first garmin Nuvi-350 with lifetime maps, which is still my go to nav. while driving, but small for theses aging eyes.
    Why you ask , I own two already and trust Garmins routing above the rest ,I like the quartly updates ,and it's loaded with RV features ect...
    The only thing holding me back was the price , but you get what you pay for right.
    The wife and I also have WoodAlls and GoodSams campground directories
    on our smart phones(free)with a world of info at our finger tips.

    Thanks for all your thoughts,
    see ya down the road,
    Rich
  • I have the Good Sam Rand McNally 7725LM. I also have the Navteq unit in the truck. The reason I chose the Good Sam Rand unit is that it has all the campgrounds listed in it. I haven't used it on a long trip yet, but, the POIs are able to be enabled and disabled and it will accept virtually any POI set from the POI Factory. It will also download any trips generated on the Good Sam site using their trip planning software. I usually use the RV Plan n' Go software to map trips, but, the new software isn't associated with Trailer Life and the campground listing is pathetic. No ratings and a lot of them just give you a location with no listing of amenities at all. I can use the 7725 to find campgrounds and I use it to plot the day's trip and compare it to the truck's Navteq unit (that one has caused us grief a time or two). In fact the 7725 is easier to use than the Trailer Life campground directory (you get a better sense of where a campground is in relation to your route). Being an RV oriented unit it has all the bells and whistles for customizing it to your type, length, weight, and height. Still playing with it, but, so far, I'm pleased.
