RV760 vs nuvi 2797

I've been doing some research on these two GPS units! Is seems to me there is really only two differences:
1. The 2797 is about $150 less
2. RV760 has input of your height to aid in low clearances

How much is that worth?
Is low clearance a bigger issue traveling East?
I decided that I'll pick one of these two garmin's! I like the ability to give voice commands while driving, much easier for me, my last garmin had the same function and worked great.

Any feedback is appreciated! Ru

  • Consider another option:

    3. A refurbed DEZL 760LMT

    I recently bought one and couldn't be happier. I just couldn't justify the premium for the RV version.

    Hmmm, thats a much better price. Haven't really considered refurbed, but not a bad option. Gives something else to check out. Thanks!

    Does the 2797 have video input


    No, The 2798 has video and camera, then your back to the $400! :(

  • I went with the 2797 after lots of research. We only travel major highways, so height clearances aren't critical.
