Gee, my RV-760 does just fine. Of course I've learned how to set it up and how to plot a route using Basecamp. It takes a little effort.

If you're not willing to put in the effort any gps or app will most assuredly lead you astray down a cow path through a farmer's back 40.

So please, learn how it works.

I know how it works. Poorly. I had a good route planned, straight down I-40 from Tennessee to New Mexico. Entering Oklahoma City my Garmin instructed me to exit as there was a low bridge ahead (yeah right, on I-40). The semis in front of me weren't exiting so I followed them. All the way to New Mexico there was not a low bridge even though my Garmin kept insisting (many, many times) that I needed to exit. Piece of junk. I now use a trucker's atlas.

Poorly Indeed. I bought the 760 RVTLM when it first came out, actually pre ordered before it was released and paid a premium. What a piece of junk. Enter your parameters then jump off the interstate to get "RV accessibility unknown" about 50% of the time on secondary roads. I am 100% sure I need not worry about RV accessibility on the Interstate. Then despite updating maps every time they come out the RV specific database is also worthless. It located campgrounds miles away from where they are actually located and might direct you to gas stations that have been closed for 5 years. Possibly to a washed out bridge from 2011 that will never be rebuilt. I have even went as far as emailing Garmin a few times when discrepancies are found which were acknowledged, yet the same errors exist on the latest database updates 3 years later. I love the comments that it's still a great device but only a tool to be used with an atlas or other device. An electric circular saw with a dull blade and fried armature is also only a tool, to be turned with a stick while taking 2 hours to naw through a 2x4.
