Do you think maybe you set your height wrong in the setup screen? Or forgot to set it?
I've driven that same route with my 13' high motorhome (really 12'6") and never had a bleep.

I love the comments that it's still a great device but only a tool to be used with an atlas or other device. An electric circular saw with a dull blade and fried armature is also only a tool, to be turned with a stick while taking 2 hours to naw through a 2x4.

Gee, my RV-760 does just fine. Of course I've learned how to set it up and how to plot a route using Basecamp. It takes a little effort.
If you're not willing to put in the effort any gps or app will most assuredly lead you astray down a cow path through a farmer's back 40.
So please, learn how it works.
I know how it works. Poorly. I had a good route planned, straight down I-40 from Tennessee to New Mexico. Entering Oklahoma City my Garmin instructed me to exit as there was a low bridge ahead (yeah right, on I-40). The semis in front of me weren't exiting so I followed them. All the way to New Mexico there was not a low bridge even though my Garmin kept insisting (many, many times) that I needed to exit. Piece of junk. I now use a trucker's atlas.

IMO, the 770 is very reliable, but like anything else, it's simply another tool in our toolbox. Like anything else, it takes some time to master. I plan my route ahead of time and if not sure I plug in Google maps and check it. Google maps gives me a birds eye view of where and on what kinds of roads I'll be traveling. I also don't rely on street addresses. I pull up the GPS coordinates off Google Maps and use those. This method puts me in exactly the correct spot I want to be in when I get where I'm going. Finally, while Base Camp is helpful, it does take a lot of brain power to master. (I gave up ๐ YMMV).....Dennis
Dennis, couple questions. 1) when you were setting up parameters did you include your toad as part of your over all length? 2)Do you use coach mode or car mode for directions?

If you build aroute in TripWizard and import it in BasCamp (BaseCamp will do the changing, given the vehicle profile you have there). I have never seen my Garmin 770 change the route I built in BaseCamp. Careful when you do the work in BasCamp that you are consistent in the profile you choose, and use.
