The BEst GPS got me thinking
For all of you that use a GPS do you use a RV specific GPS? Are there real world bennifits to the RV specific GPS? Thanks Matt

The biggest difference I noticed is that my Garmin RV GPS will take me a different route if I am in RV mode vs. car mode. In RV mode the GPS avoids small streets and congested areas. In car mode the GPS may take a more direct route without regard to street size.
Keep in mind I don't blindly trust GPS 100% in either mode. I'm not totally counting on GPS to avoid low bridges, or other obstacles.
The RV GPS is loaded with RV friendly POI's. All campgrounds,state parks, truck stops, Wal Marts etc. are already preloaded.
Garmin also has an optional wireless back up camera the integrates with the GPS.
A standard GPS will get the job done. I used a basic Tom Tom for years. However an RV GPS is an improvement. While it is not 100% foolproof, the GPS is aware of the size limitations of your RV (you must enter your size data during initial set up) and attempts to route your rig accordingly
