The CoPilot app is so much better than the RV760 you might want to consider this excellent GPS receiver Dual 150A GPS Receiver
Strong statement! Do you have a 760? Thanks.

Yes I do, Jack. I used it and CoPilot on a trip from NV to AL and return using a different route. Had I followed the RV760 directions I would have driven an extra 165 miles for no reason. I also had to switch the 760 to automobile mode numerous times so that it would route me to RV parks because there were weight restrictions on the roads leading to the park. I didn't experience any of these problems with the CoPilot app. The 760 is now in one of my other vehicles that I mainly just use around town.
