GPS units

I just purchased a Magellan Roadmate RV9365T-LMB GPS unit for my husband for Christmas. After reading a few reviews I am now hesitant about letting him open it up and thinking about returning it to camping world. Every review said how the GPS works poorly and the reviews did not have anything good to say. There were only 7 reviews. Has anybody else had any luck with a RV Gps unit and if so what type did you buy? There are not many RV GPS units out there.

We have the Garmin 2797LMT and has worked very well. Recommend keeping paper maps handy as none of the GPS's are 100% correct.

We use a regular Garmin Nuvi. It has only steered us wrong once and that was because 2 roads ran parallel to each other and I took the wrong one. Poor signage did not help the situation. I think you will find that most so called RV GPS units are not that accurate. They are suppose to keep one from getting into situations where the road has overpasses that are lower than the normal 14 feet. From what I have read none of them work very well at doing that. As for accuracy in getting you where you want to go, the Garmin is the best.

Your call, but we have been much happier with our Garmin than we were with the Magellan that we use to have...
