We have a 2007 Winnebago Journey. We currently have a 2006 garmin streetpilot that we use for navigation. It has been starting to give us problems. What GPS navigation system do you all prefer?

I have two of the Streetpilot 7200 Garmin GPS units. I noticed some time ago that if I used one of the "splitters" used to connect two or more things to the single 12 volt outlet that my GPS unit had trouble acquiring the satellites. It would still power up and look fine but it still had trouble with the signal it was receiving from the satellites.
If that is the problem you are having and you are using a splitter, try hooking up your Streetpilot directly to the 12 volt outlet and see if that corrects your problems.

What Jack said if you want to simply update your GPS unit.

What TNRIVERSIDE said if looking for new. Can't say enough about how well we like the Garmin.

You may just need a software update. Plug the unit into your computer and go to the Garmin site and check to see if there is a software update. Since 2006 I would think there would be several.

We have the 2797LMT with lifetime maps, traffic alerts etc. Very satisfied with the unit. I was unaware that Garmin had a trade in program, I'll have to remember that.

We now have a Garman RV760LM and we are very pleased with it. Map updates for life can be a big savings. The traffic alerts and detours has been beneficial too.
If you now have a Garman product you can trade it in and receive a discount on your new unit. This is what we did. Call Garman to get the amount of credit that you would receive on your old unit.
