Leaving on long trip, best GPS
We are leaving in 6 weeks on our longest trip to date (6 weeks) From Florida to Maine. We need to buy a GPS,do we need an "RV" GPS?? Opinions please!

I have the Garmin GPS in front of me and the DW has her TomTom GPS for her use. Since they both use a different database, we are able to sort out any discrepancies. The various PC programs only use one database source which may or may not be correct.
Just be sure to set it up the way you want to travel. If you want to avoid toll roads, major highways, shortest route or quickest route, most GPS units will allow you to set up your preferences.
All of our GPS units have also allowed several different routes to get to the same destination. Just pick the one that suits your travel plans. Keep in mind that if you chose the "shortest route" it will take you down some roads that you really do not want to travel on.
Be smart and review the route BEFORE you start driving it.
