We have a Garmin Nuvi 2555LMT with lifetime maps, had it a few years. I have replaced the screen twice (5" screens for this model are only about $30 on ebay, on the other hand for Garmin RV specific GPS models the replacement screens can be hard to find or are quite expensive). We added low bridge alerts to our GPS from Lowclearances.com We have many custom POI (points of interest) categories I uploaded to the GPS from POI Factory. Safe travels.

I've had great luck with the Dual Aviation GPS by linking it with my 10-inch tablet. I then use the CoPilot app. This GPS device is extremely accurate, priced right and has Bluetooth capability.

I'm considering Sygic truckers app with a Samsung tablet. Doesn't need to be connected to work. Various mounts are available for the tablet. Lower cost too!

Very happy with my Garmin 770 and like the screen size and many built in features. Have used for over 35,000 miles between car and MH.

We're using an old Rand McNally RVND7710 but when it quits I will probably get a Garmin.

I use megallen. It is the only brand of GPS I will trust. It announces streets by name, and has the easiest turn by turn instruction I've ever seen. Plus the women's voice is very pleasant and will help rather than distract you from driving. It's the only GPS unit that can manage to guide me through the busy streets of Las Vegas successfully. Get a Magellan Road Mate. You can't go wrong with these. 20,000 miles of cross country travel. I still trust my Magellan.

When I have the destination route programmed in and then try to change the route and it calculating seems like it's takes forever it is very slow calculated

Anybody want a RV7720? Ours quit this summer; totally dead, dead dead............

Trying to decide if we want to replace it. DW loves her MapQuest running on a Samsung tablet.
