RV navigation (Device or app)
First, is using google maps for RV navigation a no-no? If so, is there a good app to use or do you have to get a device?

Note all of those using google maps or one of the generic apps. that mention having a problem with a bridge, small curvy road or dirt road. etc..
That is the exact reason not to use those apps and get a dedicated device.
Actually, you have just made a great argument to use PAPER MAPS.
If the road is too small, it simply does not show on paper maps, make getting on too small of a road a lot harder to do when you do not have that info there..
Then as you get closer to your destination, you use the ROAD SIGNS, YES, there is such a thing as road signs..
Get closer yet and you use the ADDRESSES of the place you seek.
Believe it or not, you CAN get from one location to another all without GPS if you use a few paper maps and your knowledge.
Folks are so highly dependent on GPS now days, they couldn't find their way to their fridge without it..
If going Paper get a Trucker Atlas, it makes routing clearly marked for big rigs & has a list of low clearances etc. Available in large print and laminated versions for older eyes. That's how the big guys moved around long before all the new GPS & apps where ever thought of.
