Uh huh. Right.
Oh, here's some more fun stuff. While driving through Las Vegas from the south, heading to Mesquite, it wants me to exit at Eastern Ave and get back on the freeway. It also has no idea there's a Chevron gas station/truck stop/fireworks/booze outlet at the Valley of Fire exit to 169.
I guess I better learn to use the voice search.

Garmin's search feature is really awful. It will show you cities from overseas countries before something 100 miles from you. Unless there's some setting I've missed, it doesn't seem to pay any attention to where you are when it shows search results.

Good Afternoon All, I am considering buying a RV760 LMT for use in the truck. If anyone has one of these units please send me your comments. I would be interest in battery life, Tech support and comment about use on the road (we driving on state and Interstate road way). Other comments welcome as well. Thanks. Jim2007
Great product. The large screen makes it possible to still see and read the screen as you are driving and bouncing down the road. You can also set up the Garmin with the height of your trailer which will warn you if your trailer will not clear the height of an underpass. The split screen visual picture of freeway exit lanes you are approaching is very helpful. I have run the Garmin for about 1 hr. with just the battery. I always run with my Garmin plugged into the truck. I have had 3 different Garmins and each one has improved with more features.
I have the RV770 model.
Does the Rv770 model give warning of lane change in advance of
a exit? Thanks JIm2007
