RVND 7720 or GS RVND 7725?

I have a 7720 and love it.
MUCH better than the Garmin 465T I had before.

X2, but with the 7720. I use it both in the RV and in the motorcoach (Charter bus) I drive part time. Went ballistic with overweight warnings when i went down a road in the bus where they just replaced two old bridges with new culverts. Love the heads up for weigh stations, state lines and rest areas. With wifi connection, provides traffic information, local fuel prices, and incredibly accurate and precise weather conditions (map overlay) as you go down the road. Finding campsites and travel centers on the fly is a wonderful feature. Next Exit info is available for the next several exits when traveling interstates.

Anyone that trust a programmer in China or India without first checking out the route deserves to be take "out of the way". Trust me I have been there and done that. . . . . :M

Now I check the route with my computer (Garmin's BaseCamp) so I can zoom in and plan the trip like I want to go.

We used our RM7720 on a summer trip to Alaska, no surprises on roads, fuel stops or campgrounds including on The Top Of The World Highway, once we changed the preferences to INCLUDE ferries. Very happy with the unit which we use in our B+ since no room for a netbook up front. I am a fan of Delorme, so we are getting ready to start using Street Atlas USA 2014 Plus in our Class A and a Garmin LM50 in our toad.

Is the map database uninformed about dirt roads?

Is the routing software inefficient when it maps out routes?

All GPS units have old/ bad data on certain roads. The source of the data comes from cities, counties and states.

Some are very good about updating the data, some are not very good about updating the data.

I have currently a Garmin LMT 1490 (my sixth Garmin) and a RVND 7725.

Both streets as paved roads in the city just south of me. So does the Magellan RV9365T, and my ex-son-in-law's TomTom.

Because the city includes in its information to the state several streets which have been platted but have not yet been graded and built.

Garmin took over 27 months to show an updated map with the street I lived upon most recently - after I moved in - which was almost a year after the streets for this development were built. Because that city only bothers to update the data to the state every three or four years.

I'm not exactly sure what the Rand process is for dirt roads. I think it identifies roads without any surface information as dirt, because I've received the dirt road warning when traveling to some campgrounds which were on private roads, but the road was actually paved.

My understanding is they are one and the same. My suggestion is that before you spend money on either, you do a very through research of them. I did, bought one and it was a complete dud, so returned it and I decided NOT to waste my money.
