BEST GPS?
Have a Class A 36 foot Motorhome, plan to do some serious traveling in the western US. What GPS do you like and why? Thanks

I think I have the Garmin 7595LMT.
I thought the 760 was was supposed to have a better data base for larger vehicles.
My Garmin is SUPERIOR to my Galaxy Note II and Googles maps for navigation. NO need to fiddle with data/maps without a cell connection.
I have the version 2 software, and it is a little weak on voice recognition; but good enough, and flexible enough, that I can make it work.
The one think I thing I like about the Garmin is how fast it updates when you decide to override it's choice of route. I've done this in cities where it was either traffic or construction that forced me to take a "SAFER" route by ignoring the GPS guidance. The Garmin picked up the detour fast and a new route given very quick.
If you can SEE the detour/traffic/construction ahead, you can always do a voice command and tell it to detour. THIS alone is a great time saving feature.
Learn to TRUST the GPS when everything looks fairly normal.
Learn to DIStrust the GPS when there are orange barrels in front of your expected path; or maybe it is rush hour traffic.
With a GPS, it is a learn to TRUST/DISTRUST relationship.
