When we bought the Axis, having used Garmin for many years, we bought the Garmin RVT ... (google is great and I still depend on it for satellite view of an area..but we are often in areas with no data/phone ) ... Garmin has never failed us. (well...if you are in the middle of the Eisenhower Tunnel it does freeze for a couple minutes )
If you get one...be sure to go into the settings and, not only set it up with your RV size, length and height...but also, customize all the setttings to your particular liking. The Garmins new programming is constantly advising us of situations. We buy refurbished, with lifetime maps...saves a bit of $$ and any bugs have been resolved. (some folks complain that it does not give them the info they want to view on the screen....you MUST program it to tell you what you want)
