Do I need a GPS in Alaska?
I am planning a trip from Victoria BC to Alaska and was wondering if I need a GPS Navigation unit for use in Alaska? or is it map friendly enough. thanks

We used the Garmin 760 last summer during our trip and was mostly pleased with the performance. Map database was very accurate. Screen size was very good. It does do some peculiar navigation tactics when you are in the RV mode in that it sometimes tries to avoid left turns and will not go down some roads that it determines are not suitable for an RV! No rhyme or reason to this it just happens sometimes! Overall we were pleased with the RV760. The POI database is HUGE, with campgrounds and fuel stops being very accurate. The RV760 would not be suitable for use on a hike. It is pretty large and battery life appeared to be around an hour.
