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

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
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
