I believe we currently have 4 Garmin GPS, none of which is perfect --- especially if you don't choose the right nav options. Last week, just because I forgot to turn the 760 LMT to passenger car when going to the store near our Littleton, NH, CG, it sent me 10 miles North so I could turn on a different road to back track those 10 miles plus the actual 2.7 miles to the store. The road from the store back to the CG was one of those that the GPS announced that it really wasn't sure of the ability for a 13'+ tall RV to travel. It was fine but the GPS wouldn't say so. Then there was that trip from near Portland ME to that CG near Littleton. Samantha (the lady inside my GPS) changed my route overnight to the one I really wanted vs how she plotted it when I told her where I wanted to go - amazing lady. Read my mind

The joys of touring with electronics. I still use a paper map if for no other reason but to check our route.
