Garmin RV 760LMT any Usage Findings
I have been thinking about upgrading to the RV 760 and wanted to know if anyone has any real world usage findings. It looks good on the Garmin site.

I ordered the RV 760 while on Long Island to replace my 2460 which was not RV friendly but now resides in our toad, the Jeep Liberty.
I love this GPS. The database of campgrounds is amazing, I have yet to search for a campground that I locate on a map or RV Parky that it hasn't found. The amount of information it presents is awesome. Someone asked about the dashboard feature, just touch the lower right information field (defaults to arrival time) and you get a list of all the data you can put it that field, such as time to via, arrival time at via (or destination), elevation, and many others, even current mile marker. And this list is updated in real time, so you don't have to choose one field, you can see many.
I subscribed to smartphone link traffic and weather. It pops up a window showing traffic or construction ahead, how far away it is, and what the expected delay is. Rest stops automatically appear on the top bar showing direction and mile marker info, then slide gracefully to the side where they can be recalled with a touch.
Same with severe weather alerts, even an animated weather map.
No, it doesn't show propane restricted routes, but I have to say, in my 14 years of RV'ing, I have never needed that warning and I think it's just nit-picky. And coming off of Long Island, I was routed correctly so maybe it knows where you should go and where you shouldn't. (I don't wish the cross-Brooklyn expressway on anyone, but sometimes ya gotta.) And by the way, if you're going onto Long Island, take the Tappan Zee and not the George Washington Bridge.
And speaking of that, This GPS has GREAT lane guidance, even giving you REAL TIME ANIMATED lane view you have to see to believe. A true life saver. The voice guidance says things like "be in either of the two left hand lanes".
If you can afford it, get it. Try it out.
