This is why I love my Garmin RV 890

[MemoriesByTheMile]

This is the typical backup as I understand it, have one from years ago, never used/needed it.

After 3 years of putting miles on one of these and never using it - we had our first excursion into the north west a couple months ago.
After we were getting some very odd guidance from RVTW showing the routes to a location and from that location were dramatically different, that atlas was pulled out and used. Oregon and Washington do not put signs on every overhead bridge to provide the clearance height. Nor do they have weight limits posted on a regular basis.

Why does your phone need to be paired to the Garmin? Won't the Garmin display give you the road hazard?

My understanding is that is how it gets live traffic information.

Yes, as Neal stated, the live traffic comes from the Garmin Drive app on your phone and it goes to the GPS.

Also, I need to write up a separate thread but….

Found a way around all the hassles of getting the RV Trip Wizard gpx files to the Garmin.

If you have the drive app on your phone, just text the gpx file from RV Trip Wizard to yourself, then in the sharing options from the file in text, send to drive app is an option. Then just send it to the Garmin from the drive app.
