Rv GPS

For previous posts on this subject search this Forum for the chosen models.

I use a Garmin 760 in combination with the backup camera. I installed the camera on the rear of our 5th wheel and the booster at the front. The GPS works well but it can sent you astray if you're not careful. With the camera I'm able to backup without a spotter.

Garmin dezl for sure

I've said this before on this subject, don't buy anything that doesn't have free lifetime map updates! As they like to charead up wards of $50 per year for updates.

My 2 Cents? Pucker factor of 10 when you are relying on your cell GPS and you move into an area where there are no towers and/or the cell service drops to 1 bar or worse. Oh **** - which way now!!??

We have a Rand Mcnally - works good but the Garmin's are more user friendly and much more intuitive.

X10!

A GPS on the dash with a big screen that you can actually see AND works ALL the time. Unlike a phone that requires a cell tower. It's a no brainer if you travel a lot.

The options available on a GPS IMHO far outweigh that of using a phone.
Just a few of many: alerts of speed limit in area, records your speed as you drive, it alerts me of CG's I am passing within whatever mileage I have input, alerts me of when I have programmed it to tell when it was time to start the toad, etc etc

And I am not sure if the cell can but if I change and make a turn other than what was programmed the GPS automatically adjusts my route.

OP. My advice is to buy the one that has the largest screen size.

When I bought mine the TomTom had the largest screen and the only one that was 'text to speech' at the time. I do not have to sit there and plug in all my directions. I talk to it and it looks it up and programs it.

Co-pilot, iExit and a few others on a smaller iPad or tablet, faster, cheaper, more customizable and if you momentarily tether the tablet to your smart phone iExit (now sharing data with Gas Buddy) will show you current gas prices at which stations and how easy on / off they are.

Garmin by far.

Fun....Using your cell phone for navigation in a busy area, and the phone rings and you need to take the call....I use a Garmin 760. Best GPS I've ever owned and this is my 6th GPS unit!

I have the Garmin 760, I like it and I'd buy another. The large screen definitely beats the little cell phones and the speakers work very nicely on it when you're in city traffic and can't be glancing at the screen all of the time.

I have had one of these, truck version, in my semi the last 6 months. It is great! I can easily see it while driving. Try that with a cell phone! Bluetooth. Voice. Traffic.

Can configure to your vehicle. Weight, height, length.
