Stand-alone GPS or smartphone?
My wife and I just purchased our first Class A motorhome (2015 Holiday Rambler Vacationer) and we’re eager to hit the road. I’m wondering what opinions you more experienced drivers might have about GP...

Some Stand Alone GPS (As well as smart phone aps and computer programs) are designed for Truckers so they won't send you under the famous 11' high overpass (with a used to be 12'6" high motor home) That said. I just use Google Maps with a back up brain.. Actually most back road routes I take very carefully. Cell or not. and freeways.. Not may 11' overpasses.
But I've used all 3 (Comptuer (Microsoft S&T) Google on my phone and Garmin.
All have advantages.
One thing I really like about the phone based Google maps
I point the browser to WTWW.US Listen Transmitter 2 (HTML5) and plug my dash radio into the phone (AUX IN) when Lola (The GPS) (Name picked from the movie RV) wants to tell me something she mutes WTWW long enough to deliver than turns WTWW back up.. Very nice. and good music. The Greatest hits of all times.. Ads you may find a bit strange though :) (I don't. I shop those vendors).
