My gps is several years old now and I would like to get a new one. I would like a 7" screen with internal wifi for automatic map updates. I would also like one with visual and voice commands that state the correct lane to be in when turning or exiting.I prefer Garmin and have read many reviews, but most units have mixed reviews.I'm hoping for recommendations on which one a lot you RVers have and how well you like them. I don't need one with a dash cam but I wouldn't mind having a unit with one if all the other functions are good. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

We now have a 780 and like it very much, a huge improvement over the 760.

Garmin RV770Two years. 25000miles use, in RV and in toad. Highly recommend. Also have the Garmin 65W dash cam which is awesome.Garmin Express easy to use and makes updates a snap.The Stop light/speed camera subscription for around $26 dollars a year can be very entertaining if not useful when you drive like I do.

Google Maps on a 7" or 10" tablet will do an even better job!

We use CoPilot RV on a 9" tablet for this. Works great.Dave

We have a Garmin 770 and I really like the display and features. I am not very happy with the routes it takes up sometimes. We just came back from a 8 day trip and I sometimes scratched my head on why the Garmin wanted to route us in certain directions that were out of the way. 90 percent of the drive was interstate so there weren't any issues with low bridges or narrow roads. Thank goodness I also used google maps on my phone or several times the Garmin would have had my driving in circles.I updated the maps right before our trip so the GPS was up to date.

But will Google Maps on a tablet do a GPS update on upcoming turns??? I can see using the tablet for planning a trip but not for driving the trip. What am I missing???
