Garmin GPS
I am considering upgrading my Garmin Zumo GPS that's just suited for auto travel to a Garmin 770 with the RV extra's...need to know if this the one I should get, or is there something better on the market?

- I have the Garmin 770RV. It has some nice features but I don't trust it to take me on the best route so I also use my I phone with Waze.

I've had the opposite experience -- Google Maps has tried to send me under some low bridges, but the Garmin has warned me away. I usually use both -- Google Maps traffic is hard to beat, but I prefer the Garmin's UI and display... and the RV specific route warnings. It's also comforting to know that the map will always load and can plot a route, whether or not I have cell service. I don't even carry a paper map any more.
I don't expect any GPS to warn me about low hanging branches, just permanent restrictions like bridge clearance, weight limits, etc.Retired JSO wrote:

Not even close to my experience- Your phone and tablet give you all you need.
