- RLS7201Explorer IISelect the Garmin that suits your budget. Then go to Poi Factory and install the enhancements you need. IE Walmarts, Rest Stops, Over Pass Clearance, State & Federal Parks, COE, BLM, etc.
Richard - vermilyeExplorerThe dash on my tow vehicle is too small for a 7" GPS; I currently use a Garmin nüvi® 3580LMT. Generally happy with it, although I like some of the menus better on an older 1490. The problem with the 1490 is a much slower processor, lots of "Recalculating" that doesn't happen with the new one. Both required the addition of a memory card in order to update to the latest maps.
- Bill_SatelliteExplorer IINo to be a stick in the mud, all Garmins (GPS's in general) are RV friendly. Some might add a feature or 2 that add some additional options but otherwise they are all great.
I recently updated to the Garmin 2797 (one of the new 2013 series) with 7" screen and voice control (We can't reach our GPS when driving). It's also lifetime maps and traffic. I have not used the traffic option much but coming from the OR beaches back to Albany the GPS suddenly popped up and said an accident had been reported on I-5. Shortly it showed a 23 min. delay on our current route and provided optional routing. By the time we were close to the detour "she" reported a shorter delay which made the original route most likely the best. - PawPaw_n_GramExplorerThe Garmin RV 760LMT is the only unit they make I would use for RV travel.
Garmin has great products - but that is the only one which is 'RV' friendly. - hawkhillExplorerIf you want a GPS with RV features, we love our RV760LMT. It has all the bells & whistles. It has a large 7 in screen which is large and easy to read, but not too large for our truck. I don't think I would put it in my Honda though.
