Garmin GPS RV760 LMT

Good Afternoon All, I am considering buying a RV760 LMT for use in the truck. If anyone has one of these units please send me your comments. I would be interest in battery life, Tech support and comment about use on the road (we driving on state and Interstate road way). Other comments welcome as well. Thanks. Jim2007
  • I opted for the 770 as it has WiFi updates for maps and software. No computer required.

    Great product. The large screen makes it possible to still see and read the screen as you are driving and bouncing down the road. You can also set up the Garmin with the height of your trailer which will warn you if your trailer will not clear the height of an underpass. The split screen visual picture of freeway exit lanes you are approaching is very helpful. I have run the Garmin for about 1 hr. with just the battery. I always run with my Garmin plugged into the truck. I have had 3 different Garmins and each one has improved with more features.
    I have the RV770 model.
  • Battery life is minimal, the device is designed to be powered from the vehicle.

    Tech support is very good.

    Voice recognition meets all my needs on the road, rarely have to touch the device.

    Accuracy is so/so. I don't rely on it blindly for navigation, and I strongly recommend no one rely solely on computerized devices for navigation. They are an aide and nothing more.

    To add, the 760 is discontinued, has been for a bit now. If you're getting a good price, get one, otherwise get the newer model.
