Garmin 760

I got my 760 for about $325 delivered and one can find the unit with backup cam for $400 or so. Most GPS problems go by by when one reads the manual. Although I have seen over the years some strange things. Like get off freeway, do U turn, now reenter freeway. But as said before LOOK AT YOUR ROUTE zoomed out far enough you can see what the GPS is doing. Millions of pieces of data tied together to make a route. One favorite of mine is when doing shortest route the GPS will have you go trough a town because going around on the freeway is longer or shortest time take you over a goat trail. GPS only does(for the most part) what you command it do.

I have the Garmin 760 RV and doubt I'd buy it again. Mine has given poor routing and it has been flaky. The specified RV routing has not been reliable enough for me to trust-such as road selection based on RV height and size. The RV park database has been useful at times.

If I was doing it over, I'd just get a standard smaller GPS from Garmin or Tom Tom-prices a little under $150 at Costco-and not waste the money on the RV model. Use this in conjunction with smartphone Google maps (when you have service). Google maps is probably the best single navigator I've used. It is always a good idea to carry paper maps too.

had many garmins and have been very happy with them. The RV760 is nice, especially with the good backup camera they offer that interfaces with it. Good news/bad news is the display size. 7" is nice, but does somewhat limit suitable locations for it.

Routing wise, it has never let us down, has warned us a couple of times of what could have been a nasty problem when towing our 35' trailer. Has a nice list of campgrounds, etc. etc.

As with any GPS, common sense, previewing routes, and paper maps are always good things to do/have.

Never, never, never rely solely on a GPS. Always have a paper backup. I have owned several and have learned to only use it to get me to the next fuel stop, after confirming the route. If you only travel major highways and interstates you may never have a problem. But the wife and I prefer the two lanes and small towns. It takes planing and knowing your route to prevent being sent down a dirt road, or worse yet no road at all. As happened to us.

Thanks for the info on the 760. I'm still debating as to the need for one.

All I can say is good luck. You usually get to the desired location but it may be much farther than it needs to be. I have one and would not buy another. Always keep a paper map available.

We have the Garmin dezl 760LMT which seems to be working out just fine for our TT and for those times when we are not towing. There are options for Automobile, Truck or RV.

Recently purchased a refurbished dezl 760 LMT with lifetime maps. Placed unit into use with 1000 mile trip via interstate hwy
's and secondary state routes. Highly populated areas with road construction and detours. Very satisfied with the Garmin. Refurbished included Garmin factory warranty at less than half the price on new unit. Safe travels.
