Rand McNally RV GPS
I am considering buying a Rand McNally RV GPS model 7730. Has anyone had experience with this GPS and if so what are your thoughts good or bad?

I have two of them. I broke my first one but repaired it after buying a new one. I will not leave home without it. All of them have some warts but the benefits of hitting a couple of buttons and finding a truck stop along the way or rest stop is fantastic. I use the check list every time we leave a camp spot. Of course it is my own check list. They could improve the way it is edited but it works well.
Using this GPS next to my smart phone with the Waze app makes things really relaxing. As we decide where we want to spend the night while traveling my wife does some research and then tells me the name of the campground she wants to go to. Using the simple features of the points of interest I can have it up and going in the gps in a matter of seconds.
The height setting warnings is a great help. They could use a bit better graphics but for the price, they work very well. The Dock software on mine seems to work well. I update about every 6 months.
As someone mentioned, having the digital speed showing as well as the speed limit and a warning if you go over by whatever you set it at is handy.
I have had many many Garmins and all were great. Having this one that is built around rving is really a benefit.
