Best GPS for a motorhome

I have had the RV760LMT for two years, no problems so far. It is 1" larger than the RV660LMT which may be of some help.

The 760 Tom recommended has been discontinued and replaced with the 770
Both the 660 and 760 have higher resolution then the 760
They also include an improved general data-base and a display of the upcoming road profile (grade)

With the higher resolution the 660 may do you fine.

Buy a 8" android tablet with built in GPS sensor and download the CoPilot Free App. Subscribe to the spoken direction add-on,$9.95, and set your vehicle profile to "Heavy Truck with Propane" and you have a heavy vehicle GPS that gets frequent updates for less than half the cost of RV specific GPS.

My old, but really cool for its time, Nuvi 3790 finally died completely the other day. So my looking at possible replacement options over the last few years brought me to order the RV770 ...

I really planned to do a tablet type GPS option and have various apps installed but in the end I opted for another dedicated GPS unit.

I got this one just recently for $50. It says it has lifetime maps but I'm still working that out with the map maker. Also, it'll probably depend on how long the company stays in business.

But it's OK now...you can set it up as a truck, car, or BUS. Which I did. And the route it took me on from Gila Bend, AZ to Beatty, NV worked flawlessly. Not a single misroute. It also has Canada and Mexico which were a requirement for me. Some of the US brands don't (cough, Good Sam Rand McNally unit, cough).

For $50, with a 7" screen, all the normal dodas people like makes it workable for me...well anyway, here's the link, you can check it out yourself...GPS

So far, the large screen and the features makes it a winner for me. At that price.

I guess I'm not aware of all the things that I need to know about the routes we plan like grades and tunnels and all that. we have two Garmin GPS's, one is a Nuvi 2555LMT the other is a Nuvi 65 LM, 4" and 6" screens respectfully.

Both were reconditioned and one was $113 and the other about $95.

Both have good screens and of course the 6" is easier to see but I use the 4" and the navigator uses the 6". Oh yeah, they supplement good AAA paper maps.

We have been to all 49 continental states and all but three Canadian Provinces. Never had a problem but a $300 or $400 dollar RV specific GPS may work better.

a garmin with the largest screen you can afford.

CoPilot on a 9.7" iPad Air. You need the one with cellular that has a GPS built in.

Love our Garmin Dezl. Has lots of routing functions for MH. We had a rand McNally unit, hated it. Froze up more than a well digger's belt buckle in the Klondike.

Remember that any device that is not a GPS but being used as a GPS with downloaded apps (Ipad as example) not only cost more, but you also pay for the data. Granted it can be used for other stuff, but GPS' are cheaper and more specified to task with no "extra" cost to run them. Personally I've never found a device that works better at being a GPS than an actual GPS. And Garmin usually tops the list for reliability and usability. Our Iphone is awful trying to navigate with.

I've also been looking at a new GPS and based on the recommendations of others I took my the old 10" Asus tablet that I replaced for my wife and downloaded the co-pilot app. Took a bit a effort to find an acceptable mount but it's now up an running in the MH. Have not yet made a trip but so far I'm underwhelmed after using a Garmin.

I'll give is a good try when we leave for the summer but the data base isn't very good nor is it as easy to use compared to Garmin. I may upgrade it to the RV version before we leave for the summer but overall at this point I wouldn't recommend it anyone. It just happened to be free and it does seem to be OK following the route.

FYI, it has WiFi but not have cellular.
