new to forum

I could use some help getting a decent gps map. I have used my phone with google maps, it works pretty good, but I can't always hear it. Tried a Magellan Roadmate, but it gives me a headache trying to program it. I have a 2016 Thor ACE, pull a alum. car hauler. Thanks.

The Garmin RV-770 keeps getting really good reviews in here...

One nice thing about an RV-Specific GPS: you can program it to help you avoid tight places, and low overpasses***







*** it'll help: the rest p to you!

Garmin 770-RV...hands down!! Be sure to get the RV specific model, not the trucker's model. I also use Google Maps and a few other online sources for route planning and satellite viewing of specific areas but only the 770 while underway. The Ford Navigation System is always on but I never put addresses in it or use it for directions.
