Reviews around garmin (5.00 of 5)

  • This Garmin works great, the best Garmin we have purchased.
  • This Garmin works great, the best Garmin we have purchased.
  • The GPS that came in our RV is useless, and the Garmin RV 780 is far superior to Google Maps for use in an RV
  • The navigation still makes some questionable choices for the route so a little research is still needed but the Garmin is far superior to the Rand

Reviews around connection (5.00 of 5)

  • The touch screen works pretty good and connection to the smart phone works good.
  • So if you try to update this RV gps unit and you don't have a fantastic internet connection - for example the sort you'd have in an RV - then you will have just made your device an expensive paperweight
  • I now can't use this device for anything until I can find a stable enough internet connection to download over 7gb without a break
  • The voice activation and hands free connection for phone calls is not very good

Reviews around garmin support (5.00 of 5)

  • Not exactly confidence inspiring....UPDATE (2 days):Got a call back from Garmin Support and resolved the issue.
  • (see update)Before purchasing, I checked with Garmin Support and they replied "I don't see why it wouldn't be compatible" (exact quote)
  • Previously after spending an well over an hour on the phone with Garmin support learning how to use it, Base Camp seemed to be working OK with the RV 770 I originally bought for this trip but the 770 totally quite working from a slight

  • unit works as advertised, large list of campgrounds, voice recognition works well.
  • Like in other gps units this unit reads the actual speed limit (car mode).
  • unit works as advertised, large list of campgrounds, voice recognition works well.
  • However, to make a long story short, following a 2 month and over 4000 mile trip in our motorhome, I do not recommend this unit.

Reviews around gps (4.10 of 5)

  • This is the best RV GPS available that is also a good price, not too high, but the best available at the right price
  • I must have exclaimed 50 times during the trip how much I love this GPS.
  • This is the best RV GPS available that is also a good price, not too high, but the best available at the right price
  • Seems they have known about it for a while since the RV770 does it also, but don't have a real solution (yet??).UPDATE 2 (10 days):Glitches with BaseCamp compatibility aside; the GPS, map, navigation and feature search functions work well.

Reviews around job (3.86 of 5)

  • .has the routing problem been fixed??Jack B
  • , it does a good job of
  • Good job Garmin !!
  • I can't say the unit ever used the built in traffic feature, which is included unlike the older RV 770, but it did an excellent job of calculated true time in traffic and actual arrival times
  • Good job Garmin!

Reviews around speed limit (1.00 of 5)

  • Like in other gps units this unit reads the actual speed limit (car mode).
  • Knowing the actual speed limit is a great way to avoid unnecessary police attention.
  • If using the unit in RV mode the speed limit is always set at a max of 55.
  • and it says the speed limit is 35, or that in going the wrong way
