I used to sing the praises of our Garmin RV760LMT... until we hit the road full-time. In RV mode, it has - or would have - taken us on some really "whack" routes. I assume this is because it thinks doing things like taking propane through the I-95 tunnel through downtown Baltimore or driving through downtown Richmond, Houston, and other major cities is a good idea just because I'm pulling an RV. Like someone said above, I've gone back to a mix of old-fashioned navigation and Google maps. In "car mode," the RV760 is still very handy... it matched the route I chose on our last travel day and has very good "Up Ahead" functions for fuel, etc. Once the GPS and I agree on the route, it's very handy for telling me how far to the next turn, how exits are configured, and our ETA at our final destination. The days are gone, however, when I will just accept that Garmin knows best as far as a route that makes sense for me and my rig.
Does the Garmin RV760LMT NOT have warnings on propane restricted tunnels or bridges? I have read several posts saying NO and several saying it does? Which is it? That is obviously a very big programming miscue if it asks that question in the settings but then ignores a YES to propane . Would like to hear from owners of this unit which is the highest rated one on Amazon THANKS!
