Review on 🚍 Garmin RV 785 & Traffic: Advanced GPS Navigator with Built-in Dash Cam for RVs, 7" Touch Display & Voice-Activated Navigation by Kevin Robinson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Routes are where they should be and full of extras

Have you ever been driven or offered to drive down a road you shouldn't take; even if set in height, length etc.? This one doesn't. Since we've had the Boeing 785, we've traveled to many destinations to make sure it doesn't take us over dangerous roads, low bridges, driveways and walls, or get stuck in a loop like we did. This even outperformed the routing of some websites. So we love it. We will still check the maps but we will be sure of this GPS. The camera, lane keeping feature and collision avoidance are things we look forward to next time. The only problem we had was running the software for the phone. We called Garmin after sending them where the screen was stuck. We were told to decrease the font size as the license agreement was not visible. After that it worked. It makes and receives hands-free calls and uses the contacts list on the phone. The magnetic mount is excellent. We use a sandbag from our Garmin car to mount it on the dashboard. Since it has traffic, make sure you connect it with the included cable because that's what it needs for traffic.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
