I don't need it in my vehicles, both have nav systems, so I will only be using it in my RV.
Do I really need a RV nav system? I have a class C, 32ft in length and less than 12' in height. I am towing a Focus, so our overall length is approx 48'.
I always review which roads I am being routed on with a map and info from folks on this forum. I don't trust navigation systems to route me correctly all the time.
Advice? Before I spend $400 on a system.
I have had about 3 different Garmins and currently have the new RV Diesel truck 7" garmin. The 7" screen is outstanding to view when you are driving and bouncing down the highway. You can set your preference for each trip for "car" or "truck". The truck preference will give you information on the heights of tunnels relative to the height of your RV. Voice command is very useful when driving allowing you to make changes on your Garmin without using your hands as you are driving.
Garmins phone tech support has been outstanding for me. The tech's are very competent and have always solved any issue.
