Need new GPS

[DC_MC]

Old one died. We want one with a large display and one where you can designate you are in a large motorhome. Don’t care about WiFi and Bluetooth stuff. Any suggestions?

Google Maps does not require cell service either. You can download the map before you leave and have the entire day's journey setup. However, you do not get live traffic which I find to be the MOST valuable option. No GPS has it without a separate cellular connection and even then I find it to be a pitiful amount of information compared to Google Maps.
Even when you do use data, the amount of data used is very minimal. I measured less then 300MB of data used on a 350 mile trip.

I use harming 760 in conjunction with my smartphone/Waze. The farming does rv related stuff waze doesnt, and it works without cell service

You can do Google Maps/WAZE just fine on a phone (or 2 phones if you and your wife would like to have a good close-up view) as the travel area displayed is only a small portion of the path ahead, even on a large display. The voice commands are excellent and give you plenty of lead time to get into the proper lane and ensure you are at the right intersection. We bought a 10" tablet that we could mount in the middle for both to see but found we were actually happier with a phone mounted close to the driver.

Everything has a learning curve. Android tablets are considerably cheaper and larger than MAC's. Co-Pilot is available for both.

X2. Been using Garmin for years with little complaint. Only once or twice it put the destination on the wrong side of the street, but still in the correct area. Just keep it updated.

Get a 10" Android tablet with built-in GPS sensor and install the Co-Pilot RV app.
Then you have a 10" GPS for 1/3 the cost, RV specific, and a tablet to use for other things when the GPS isn't needed.

You really don't need anything more than Google Maps and/or WAZE and a bit of common sense. These are free but common sense must be at users discretion.

Have you searched the forum for this topic? There are dozens - if not more - of threads on RV GPSs. The Garmin RV and Dezl units are popular. We have used one with good success for about seven years now.

Does your truck or RV have Apple Car Play or the Android equivalent? The Apple system works well for me.
