Sounds worthless to me. Out on the open road there are too many long stretches of highway where I do not have data. Any service requiring data signal is of no use to me. GPS itself does not need data unless trying to route to a POI by name rather than address. I research RV friendly routes ahead of time.
I know what you mean about the lack of data in some places. It's really a trade-off and I struggle with it. In all cases I want real RV routing meaning no routing me where I shouldn't be like on weight limited roads, low bridges, propane-restricted tunnels, etc.
That, in and of itself, makes the choice really slim because so many solutions (like Garmin) don't handle the propane-restricted tunnels.
For 80% of where we travel, the next most important thing to me is robust real time traffic. But I also need a solution for that 20% of the time where I don't have a data connection, like you raised.
The closest option to being the complete solution is CoPilot. But I've had so many problems with the quality of their maps that I just don't trust them at all.
Sygic has the complete package as well but their ETAs are really, really slow.
I'm still searching for a vendor to get this right.
