The point being that you should not buy any Garmin when Google Maps and WAZE will get you their faster and more accurately. Every Garmin (every GPS) is out-of-date on the release date and will always be 1-2 years behind what's really happening out there due to the delay between updates.
Google Maps is a very useful app. However it is the anti RV app once you get close to your destination. Google maps generally takes you the most direct way. Google Maps does not know or care that you are in a large RV. It will quickly take you down a tiny street if it thinks that is the shortest way.
I've had my 760 LMT for 4 years now? And it still works like a champ. If its 2 years behind I have yet to notice. What I have noticed is that in RV mode it keeps me on large streets and avoids the tiny ones.
At the end of the day both Garmin and Google maps have their pros and cons. Knowing when to choose one over the other is the key to success. When traveling in an RV in an unfamiliar area the Garmin 760 TV is a better option than Google maps.
Furthermore have you ever experienced what happens when you are closely following Google maps guidance and the phone rings!
Suddenly you have no GPS. Garmin is dedicated and does not have that issue.
