Question Rv gps

[RVThereYet]

You need the ability of entering the size of your rig into the gps system. Weight, height and so on. That’s the main thing on an rv gps. We have car play in the motorhome as well but if I am going into the unknown I use my Garmin, so far it has not put me on a questionable road. My first Garmin years ago took me on questionable roads a couple of times, it was not an RV model. We use a Garmin 780 I think is the model and has been good so far. I just met a couple this week and he went on a route and tore everything off the roof. Some time back but it can happen. That is one thing the RV gps will help with.

Yep, as I said, RV Trip Wizard allows that. Into the unknown with weight, height, length, avoid toll, dirt, tunnels roads, avoids low bridges. All in one app AND plans routes with camp sites.
Guess that is what makes the world go around. Complicated or simple, individual choice.
I prefer simple, less can go wrong that way....and its cheaper.

Happy Glamping!

We run a Garmin 1095 RV edition, There was a little learning curve but I like the big screen and the fact its mount is magnetic so my wife can just grab it off the window to make changes on the fly.I must say it doesn't always choose the shortest ways, but when were in unfamiliar territory exploring new states and areas, its nice to know at least the roads it selects are best suited for our rig.

We have a Garmin RV 785. It does work well for us. I also drive Charter bus occasionally and use it for that as well. I like the ability to configure it by vehicle. Also lifetime free updates is good. IT has put me on a strange route a couple times but I have not owned any GPS that has not done the same. Google maps, Waze, and Apple maps does it as well.

Garmin 1095 here as well. Hasn't steered me wrong yet. I use RV Tripwizard for planning but the Garmin to guide the drive. They have not been far off from each other yet.

My 780 works well for my needs but I always review a paper map to be sure. I never ever rely on a GPS only!

This is a very humorous thread to follow. So amazed at the number of choices that people have and the willingness to spend their money.

I love hearing the this. "I always review with a paper map" We do the same. MY wife is an awesome map reader. When in new areas we still will stop and pick up a paper map when available. We also carry a Truckers Atlas.
