Garmin RV 890 Review and how I include WAZE

[Neal]

Okay, it’s 3 am and I couldn’t wait until morning to see if I had the parts or left them home in the box. Thankfully I threw them in my ram mount pile. Hallelujah @TJ&LadyDi you saved the day. I didn’t realize that ball attachment was for the back of the garmin 890. Worked beautifully to attach to my ram mount and I’m glad to get my iPad mini back in its place.

Perfect setup again. Y’all get out there and get this Garmin RV 890!!!

I have used one of these for years and put one of the sticky pads that suppose to hold your phone from sliding under it. It makes it easy to transfer from RV to the car but since all the apps have come out I use WAZE and GIA for in-vehicle navigation using car play.

Are we working on commission? LadyDi wants her cut too!

Just remember to keep the 890 positioned a safe distance away from the GAU-8 "fire button;" we don't want any oop's.

The current sale price of $399,99 is $100 off list and I'm not sure how long it will last. I suppose it could drop some more, but I'm thinking that as spring approaches and RV travel takes an uptick, the price will go back up. I've used Garmin stuff for many years and it seems like that is something of a pattern.

I'm using a RAM mount thanks to @TJ&LadyDi and it worked great today. I have a short arm (whatever it's called) and I use an adhesive ball attached to the dash.

The Garmin RV 890 integrates with a different app from the 770 called Garmin Drive and works MUCH better for traffic and other integrations, smart notifications, etc.

I'm not having much luck with the app. Either I have it configured incorrectly or there was nothing up ahead for it to report.

Just to clarify WAZE does the up ahead notifications. Think that’s a default.
