Personally experience that has not been posted yet. I have the older Garmin 7200 in the MH that is now outdated. I am waiting for the new Garmin RV 760 to be released in the next couple of weeks and I will purchase one and here is the biggest reason.

My neighbor bought the Rand McNally 7720, however any additional POI's that we tried to load takes about 10 minutes before a single POI from the POI Factory will load on the 7720. That killed the 7720 for me as I have 22,000 custom POI's on an SD card for my Garmin's that I do not want to give up.

Owning an outdated GPS, I have been able to keep it up to date with the custom POI's I use and the 7720 will not allow me to do that as easily as a Garmin. JMO.

I too am between the Garmin RV 760 and the Rand McNally 7720/7725.
I like what I saw at a 7725 demonstration at the GoodSams Rally.
However, I've been using my old Garmin Street Pilot 2730 or 30, I'm not sure.But I've never found any GPS that could match what it does..... except truly navigate for RVs specifically.
Problem is, as I get older, the screen gets smaller and smaller, and the Garmin trip planning software (Base Camp) is to darn complicated.
Bottom line is I need a bigger screen/ user friendly RV GPS.
This topic got a bit distracted with that "sale" someone saw for the Garmin.
Have many found that the Rand McNally actually navigates RVs better then the Garmins?

You can plan routes for any Garmin using the free Tyre software (just google and download) which uses Google maps and lets you put in as many waypoints as you want for your trip. It downloads the route into the Garmin by connecting with a Garmin attached to your PC. Simple and easy to use with a screen as large as your pc monitor to use for planning. (Tyre also works with TomTom.)
