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?

The only accurate bit is regarding real time traffic in copilot and that uses a VERY SMALL amount of cellular data. It is a subscription option in the app that most Rv users would not bother with. Also there is generally no traffic congestion where there are no cell towers. Also most modern smart phones have dedicated gps chips. I travel with cell data turned off when using my iphone to navigate to avoid international roaming charges so I know the accuracy of gps only. My iPhone gets signal lock in places my garmin 3750 cannot -I've compared them side by side. Also my iphone has more processing power, more advanced video chipset, faster memory and a better screen on 6plus 64gig (not bigger - better as in higher resolution) than any pnd currently available. The best part is it is always in my pocket when not on the dash - for finding locations - navigating walking or whatever a computer can do with web - video shooting and camera.PNDs have thier place but as a person who has owned them for many years and versions they are becomming far less relavent
