The only negative and what kept me from buying it is that there is no setting in the RV profile for propane. When I spoke with Garmin about this, the response was - "Oh yes, we should have included that. Perhaps on a future model." The same truck GPS from Garmin does have a profile setting for propane/hazardous gas on board. This may not be important for some, but on the East Coast there are a number of routes one cannot take with propane.

Is LP really an issue? I know the Baltimore tunnels prohibit propane but is there anywhere else on the east coast or anywhere else at all that also prohibits propane? I have not personally encountered total LP restrictions anywhere else.

No. But if it can't route around that, how can I be sure it is protecting me from low clearances and such?

This is a very good question, having had to backtrack do to a low bridge before, I have wondered if it would be better to get a car type Garmin and download low clearance POI's or does the 760 have these same POI's as part of its logic?

An RV routing GPS that avoids low clearances when it calculates a route is completely different from a Low Clearance POI that will come up as an alert before you are about to reach that low overpass. There are some roads that are limited access and before the low overpass there is no exit. The Garmin 760 or any RV specific GPS with low clearance routing will not put you on that road in the first place. As far as I have seen, there is no standard car GPS that can be set to avoid a POI category when routing.
