Best GPS I’ve ever owned
Now that I have a couple of thousand miles using this thing, I feel I know enough to rate it. The user interface on this large screen is amazing. It’s got a few more bells and whistles than my older one that just died, so I’m still learning some settings. I especially like that I could transfer all my old saved places and routes from my old one using Garmin’s software on my computer. The screen is large and crystal clear, and the built in route planner is very, very good and has been spot on, though I would have liked it to give maneuvering warnings a bit sooner before the actual maneuver. All in all, it’s the biggest and the best GPS I’ve ever owned. The suction mount is very robust and holds it rock steady. I like this unit a lot.

generally good but double check the route
we use it on every trip because we have a very tall 5th wheel trailer at 13’ 7 1/4”. it works great most of the time, but sometimes it routes us odd ways for no apparent reason. i suggest double checking your route with regular GPS to insure it isn’t taking you out of your way for no reason. just do a sanity check on it. 👍

Dangerously Bad
This is a GPS for RV. Its “must have” feature is that it takes the height and length of the RV into account when planning a route. NO, IT DOES NOT DO THAT.I have been using it for 3 weeks in my car, but with the specs for my RV. Multiple times it has taken me down a path that does not have vertical clearance for the 12′ 5″ tall RV. The car was fine, but the RV would have been turned into a convertible.For me, that is a deal breaker. If I have to be responsible for figuring out if the recommended route has vertical clearance, then I can keep using Android Auto on my phone. It works, it does not require a 2nd device, I know how to use it and it is free.In its defense, it does display an icon that indicates “GPS has no idea if this route is safe for the RV” The problem is that that icon pops up pretty much any time you are off the freeway or major road, making it pretty much useless.The second fatal flaw is that this GPS requires a connection to a phone via BlueTooth to monitor traffic. The problem is that its own BlueTooth randomly turns off, so you never know when it is no longer monitoring traffic. You do find out once you get stuck in traffic, usually when it is too late to do something about it. It does have a tiny icon in the upper corner that indicates when BlueTooth is on, but the user can not spend all his time focusing on monitoring that icon.The third big problem with the GPS is an impossibly bad user interface. The UI is not intuitive and likely lacks some basic features. I say “likely” because I have not been able to find those features, but the UI is so complicated that I cannot be sure if they are there and I have not been able to figure them out.The fourth problem is address lookup. Sometimes it will find an address, other times it will not locate the exact same address. Maybe I was doing something subtly different, but the bottom line is that address lookup, as experienced by this experienced computer user, is does not work reliably.The fifth really annoying feature is that the GPS is eager to take over your phone calls, even when you tell it not to. The incoming call indication will continue to blare on the GPS while you wait for it to go to voice mail. But you cannot disconnect it from the phone because you need it connected to the phone for the traffic.The sixth annoying issue is slow screen refresh. Especially when you are turning, the screen will go blank, then redraw the screen over a couple of seconds, then go blank/redraw….. Thankfully it redraws starting at the point where the vehicle is drawn, so you always have enough awareness of the immediate vicinity for this to not be a safety issue, but it is super annoying.After listing all the problems, I should add that it does have several nice features. But they are not worth the $700 price tag when the GPS does not provide RV safe navigation.The screen is large, really bright and easy to see during the day.The rendered image of the upcoming exit is a very nice touch and is surprisingly realistic in terms of what the sign actually says.Showing the elevation and warning for steep climbs and sharp turns is very helpful.Ability to easily look up services and distance to several upcoming exits is quite helpful.The on-screen button to locate nearby gas stations or services is useful.The magnetic mounting base is really slick. The magnet is strong enough that it will mount correctly as long as you get the GPS even close to the base.Bottom line: This is a nice GPS, but not fit for purpose for the specialized task it is supposed to be marketed for. Maybe they can fix most of the problems in an upcoming update, but my 30-day return window is closing, so mine is going back.

Interface agréable. Plusieurs fonctionnalités adaptées. Recherches de points d’intérêt faciles. Écran clair. À ce jour, le GPS se comporte bien.

The beauty of this unit is the size, quality, and dependability. We like the fact that you input your coaches measurements, then no need to worry about road restrictions or bridges etc. Also with this GPS you are not using data to increase costs and with the GPS you are less likely to loose the signal. Best bang for the buck!
