A decent tablet with a data connection and the Copilot RV app is all you need. I got a free tablet with data from Verizon when I switched from Sprint. Buy a robust suction cup mount. I run Copilot and Waze and switch between them. No need to a specialized RV GPS unit.
Just as clarification for others, CoPilot does not require an active data connection for routing as your selected maps are loaded on your device. In app traffic alerts and/or Waze does need a data connection.
Correct. The data connection is for Waze and other apps I use on the road (TruckSmart, traffic updates on Google Maps, etc). You can run Copilot on a non-data tablet and I did this for a while, but found myself using the phone for the other stuff.
