GPS recommendations

Thx for all, or at least most of the replies. Decided rather than purchase a new unit I'd update my Garmin 57 maps. All the whistles and bells on some of the newer models are not required for me. just looking to get from A to B and maybe C without getting lost and like to avoid most highways. It helps immensely as I do not have a copilot to advise me.

I use TomTom on my phone. I use to use TomTom devices and like the interface. Maps download to your device so losing cell service isn't an issue. If you wanted a nice big screen you could use a tablet. Annual subscription fee which to me is worth it.

short travels, I use waze on my smart phone. Long travels, garmin with traffic and waze both

I bought the Garmin 770RV with back up camera. This GPS has a lot of settings for the size and type of your RV but I find it hard to use. I still use my I phone for navigation.

I have always used a garmin. I think that they are in bed with the Chamber of Commerce though. It will without fail attempt to run me through the business district.
Always need to keep my eye open for the bypass.

Been using my Garmin RV 760 LMTGPS for quite a while. It has a 7inch screen and comes with a suction cup mount You can use it in RV Mode or Normal vehicle mode when not using the RV. The Rv Mode gives you RV Routing and Warnings, Directions to RV Parks and RV Services. Weather via Smartphone link as well as traffic conditions. I would give mine two thumbs up. Funny story I was heading on the highway to the B.C Ferry and it was telling me to go off of the highway and take a different route. Knowing that the route forward was the best and quickest I ignored it, bad decision within a few miles we were stopped and crawling along the highway. Won’t make that mistake again. Like all GPSes you have to be aware where it is leading you too but all in all pretty good....Mike

Hey JR. Can you add some specifics? What's your RV? Is it a towable or a motorhome?

Describe your cockpit a little. How much room do you have for a nav system?

What's your level of tech aptitude? Do you love tech? Tolerate tech? Fear tech?

Are you looking for anything specific from the nav or just directions and navigation?

I,ve had my garmin71 for about a month works great easy to use. looked on google reviews before I bought one. on e bay new about $140. bucks.
