Kip Is it the Good Sam Rand McNally RVND7725? If so I am particularly interested in your comments on these features: Wi-Fi—Connect to a wireless hotspot or mobile access point on your smartphone to receive live weather data. Weather—Dynamic weather data, including current and forecasted information for your current location, destination, and anywhere along your route. Choose from 10 different live map overlays to display important information for RVers, such as wind speed and precipitation. Warnings for speed limit changes, sharp curves, dirt roads, and other potential hazards Exits Quick View—RV parking and amenities at exits Predictive traffic—Routing based on historical traffic patterns RV-friendly gas stations (aside from POIs to truck stops) The last bullet is most important for me. In other words I want to see what sets it aside for the RVer while driving. Aside from the above I get all of that with my present Garmin or pre-trip planning. I took this GPS for test run. It did tell me about speed limit changes, and sharp turns. It showed RV friendly gas stations, rest stops, and campgrounds. The GPS took me on an alternative RV friendly route. I did not hook it up to wifi while I was driving. However, I did hook it up to wifi while at home and it does list current location weather.396Views0likes0Comments
