Garmin 2797 LMT
I am having a hard time spending $400 for a 760 LMT and it appears to me the 2797 LMT is almost identical in features except for the RV specific programming. I have gotten along just fine all these ye...

Yep, love my 2797 and I have been driving 1000's of miles with mine. If you are within easy reach of the unit where you place it the voice control is not necessary and you can save a couple of bucks on the 2795 (I think that's right). I love the 7" screen and the ability to pull up a right hand menu where I can select what 3 things I want to view at all times. Currently it shows current time, time to arrival and elevation (fun info in the Western US). The base info boxes show arrival distance and current speed (right beside the posted speed limit). Since I already know what campground I want to end up at before I leave, having a large campground database is of no real value to me. This Garmin shows you what lane you need to be in both in a visual and audible manner with plenty of lead time.
The one obnoxious detail we had to deal with today is the school zone option. It sounds a load bell/buzzer 1/2 mile before you get to a school zone and will not stop beeping until you arrive which can take some time if you come up on a stop light or have any amount of traffic. We ran through 3 in the same town and, of course, schools are closed for the holidays but you can't stop it.
I am going to search the menu options to see if I can kill this option and just trust that the flashing lights and big bright signs will bring a school zone to my attention.
