GPS purchase
I think it is time for me to purchase a new GPS as my ole Garmin Nuvi 765T is acting retarded. Thinking about another Garmin but there are so many models to choose from, any suggestions?

X3 on the CoPilot App
Tried the Garmin Dezl in RV mode yesterday in Best Buy. Had it route me to a place that I knew so that it would chose between a road with low clearances or the route that is safe to go on in the RV. It chose wrong. Sent me in a 13 foot RV on a road with low clearances. Very disappointing. If the Garmin RV unit has the same routing algorithm stay away. My CoPilot app gets it right!
I have and have been using the Garmin 760RV and didn't realize Best Buy sold the 760DEZL which is different than the RV model in some of it's software. Also, to properly set up the unit for the RV option is fairly detailed with specifying all the parameters of the RV profile along with making sure you have all the correct "avoidances" selected for it to operate correctly so I have a feeling you might have overlooked something and that's why it didn't work correctly. Can you please provide SPECIFICALLY your start and end points and what low clearance specifically it missed so I can confirm the issue with my Garmin 760RV.
I've found my 760RV to be fairly accurate with the only thing I don't like is that it uses the "truck routes" around metro areas which is not always needed in the RV mode, but that's just the way the unit works.
Thanks,
Larry
