My new Garmin RV760LMT - I have questions?
Hi, It was delivered about an hour ago. 1. I opened the package and immediately noticed that on the rear of the GPS it reads "RV 760LM". It doesn't have the "T", as in "RV 760LMT". The box has RV760...

Hi again, I'm the originator of this topic.
Thanks so much for your informative replies.
1. So now I know to not be concerned that only LM is printed on the GPS itself.
2. I won't cut off the 12V plug, instead I'll wire in a 12V receptacle to tuck away somewhere below the dash.
3. I'll check out Basecamp and Garmin Express.
Also, one of you, Jim, added that the 760 can sometimes send you on a goofy trek. That reminds me of last summer when I was relying on my Garmin 2460 to get us and our 5th-wheel to Camelot RV Park in Poplar Bluff, MO. We were coming up from the south and, we found out later, were only 2 or 3 miles from the RV park. The GPS had us turn on off the main highway onto a side road. Then onto a gravel road which finally turned into a 1-lane dirt road with no place to turn around.
The GPS kept showing we were getting closer and closer to the RV park. Then just as it was getting down to a few hundred feet to go, it jumped to 9 miles to go and for me to make a U-turn. Yeah, right.
Another car came along and the driver assured me that if I kept going the road would get even worse but not to worry. After a mile or so it would start to get better. He told me the turns to make to get to Camelot. The Camelot RV park owner said it happens all the time. He said if I had phoned him ahead of time he would have told me how to get there and to not use a GPS.
Oh, well.
