GPS?

My Garmin nuvi has taken us on so many wild goose chase we have decided to toss it. Looking to buy a new unit that is RV friendly. Any suggestions?

No such thing as an RV friendly GPS when it comes to routing. There are only 2 routing options. Car (with the addition of a height and/or weight limit) or truck routing. Truck is not good for an RV as it will not let you take routes where trucks are prohibited but would OK for an RV and car routing is going to be similar for all devices. You cannot EVER trust a GPS and follow it blindly. They will all, eventually, steer you wrong. I'm OK with following the GPS in my toad to get me to Wal-Mart, I don't give it a second thought since it really can't do any harm other than wasting some gas. In the RV, I know where I want to go, what roads I will be taking and which exits I want to take. I just use the GPS for lane instructions, time of arrival info, distance to turn and reminders of those upcoming turns.
