I've had the 770 take me down some cow paths. Only combine google maps for interstates. Most google routes assume a traditional automobile and don't account for length, height, width and weight. Those that have used it that way might have just been lucky? There's also satellite and that can help but when you have 6-7hrs of driving in front of you, it's tough to evaluate the route in satellite view in the usual 'campground' connection.

Set preferences. It does help.
