Leaving on long trip, best GPS

I still like to use paper maps with the GPS as an aid.

The maps never sent me down the wrong road. ;)

I have used CoPilot app for over a year and love it. They now have one for RV's (you can also change the setting for auto) and it comes with traffic subscription for one year. The price right now for CoPilot RV is $59.99. With any GPS you will also need to double check the route, make sure the setting is on quickest route not shortest and I look at the route on an Atlas just to make sure it looks like we stay on major highways.

Me too......but only because I had it in the cabinet being unused when I got the RV. There HAVE been a few times that it has taken me on secondary roads that made me a bit uneasy.

So I say: If you already have one that you like, use it.
If you are buying new, get one with special programming for a large vehicle.

For previous posts on this popular subject search this Forum for `GPS' and read on. We like our Garmin 760LMT. No matter what model you buy it is better than trying to find your way with maps and a nervous navigator.

I have a Garmin RV GPS. My opinion is that it is essential to have a RV or Truck GPS because it warns you of low height bridges or bridges/roads that you are too heavy for. Warns of steep grades etc...Others will say that they make books for that. They are right. I buy a GPS so I don't have to fool with books.

I don't use an RV GPS but I love my Garmin with traffic. I ALWAYS plan the days route the night before on the computer. I like DeLorme Street Atlas. The GPS just tells me how I'm doing and if there is any problem ahead.
