Best RV GPS

While it’s one of the oldest products on the list, and is somewhat considered to be outdated, This Garmin unit is one of the best out there. It allows fully customizable route mapping and this helps you ensure that you don’t have any snags along the way. While you can do what other GPS systems do, you can even add the actual weight and size of your RV in order to help create the best route possible for you. RV’s can’t often get under certain bridges and overpasses, so this is one of the ways to make sure that safety is met. It even features special warnings on the road so you can avoid sharper turns, bridges that won’t support the vehicle’s weight or height, and even help you avoid steep hills that may be dangerous to drive on.

Garmin does it again with their RV-770 NA LMT-S model. It has the highest and most reviews on being one of the best RV GPS’s out there. Part of this is because it combines numerous systems into one, but it also has a lot of extra bells and whistles that make it even more worth it for a reasonable price. Another great thing is that you can connect this with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. You can also use it with a wireless backup camera which makes it even safer. You can also search for places with FourSquare and TripAdvisor so you can go everywhere that you want to go (and pit stop at), and only those places if need be. Just like the 660, you can put in your RV’s height and weight, and this can help warn you just like the previous model. It’s also a great way to avoid toll bridges and has traffic road warnings that it can provide (jam-ups, accidents, etc.). Everything’s also easy to see on its almost 7-inch display.

Garmin’s 760LMT Portable GPS Navigator is one of the best ones on the market as well (if you recognize the pattern, Garmin is the industry leader when it comes to GPS units). You can put your route in, and get on the ball with your trip. You can customize it just like the others, and while it can help you get to RV-ready locations, you may end up getting into some crowded areas. However, it updates you frequently with any road warnings that you may need to keep you and your family safe. It also lets you know when you cross a state boundary, which can be nice for those keeping track. All of these features on a large 7-inch screen make it an affordable GPS solution that you can even use voice commands with (it also uses Bluetooth technology).

This product is one of Garmin’s other good RV GPS navigators. It offers specific features that allow you to dedicate the GPS to your RV and it allows you to navigate anywhere with advanced navigation capabilities. This model allows you to also use a mobile app that links to it so you can have quick access to traffic information and weather on your travels. You have numerous hands-free options too, and it even allows you to use Bluetooth calling, and navigate with voice commands. This also has an RV travel directory so you can find friendly campsites and RV parks. You can filter searches on this one and customize it to your needs so you can make it to the right campgrounds that have amenities you may want.

TomTom has been making GPS units for many different uses for years, and this one is dedicated for RV’s and larger vehicles. If you’re wanting a TomTom, then you can get this one and be satisfied. It has lifetime updates like the Garmins, and automatically changes the map every time that you change roads (even though some people find this annoying). This one doesn’t just cover the United States either – it even has dedicated maps covering the entire Northern American continent (U.S., Canada, and even Mexico) and has special map sharing technology that provides specially made IQ routes calculations. You have a nice screen that allows you to see two separate views at once as well.

The additional Garmin 760LMT GPS unit has numerous equipment features compared to other models. At the same time, it comes with a wireless backup camera to help enable safe reversal and always keep you and your family safe. It’s a high resolution touch screen display that is easy to use and see everything. If you want, you can get constant updates to lifetime maps as well. One great thing is that Garmin features its customizable routing in – simply put in the dimensions of your RV and you can get routing optimized for it. The only downside is that installation isn’t the easiest, but once it’s installed, it’s well worth it.

Another great GPS system that’s on the market, but this time it’s not made by Garmin or TomTom. Rand McNally is a very popular choice for many trucker, and it’s because it has a user interface that allows you to update the software regularly to help provide a high quality travel experience, and give you some additional safety at the same time. This GPS system is also made to give you warnings and alerts in real-time, and can even tell you about speed limits, sharp corners and curves, areas you can park at, and even when you change time zone. It can even go the lengths to provide updates to let you know where you can find places to eat, as well as give you the best amenities in the area. You can use the contact search feature to help you find your place of interest (business or residence) easily and quickly. The size of the screen is a little harder to read than some of the ones we previously mentioned though.

This Garmin system is another great piece that provides exceptional features that a true pro can use on their travels. Of course, it features Garmin’s customizable routing depending on the size and even the weight of the RV you’re driving. This works well because you can avoid all of those mishaps that are often caused by going into conditions and underpasses or toll bridges that could be avoided. Another thing that many truckers like about this system is that you can see areas that are highly rated by other truckers and RV drivers everywhere. You can log literally everything such as fuel usage, how many hours of service before being serviced you’re driving, and even log track maintenance. It helps you also by sending warnings about anonymous statistics as well. It does cost quite a bit more than other systems though – which is why it’s a number 8 in our book.

Rand McNally’s 528013076 Intelliroute tablet is a very awesome TND tablet. If you want a Rand McNally RV GPS system, this is also a popular choice because it is both an Android tablet, but it includes the RandMcNally software on it for a great 8-inch wide GPS screen. This means that you have more visibility since the screen is bigger, and it comes with a plethora of bonus features in the software, such as fuel management, trip budgeting, and much more. It even doubles as a dash camera during your drive, which is also gaining more and more popularity. Because you can literally use it for everything from load matching to document scanning, we couldn’t help but put it on the list. Some users don’t like having all of the advanced features and complain that it’s not as easy as other systems to use.

Even though this is only number 10 on our list, it’s no terrible option. This GPS system made by Magellan is the RoadMate RV9145, and there’s a reason why it is so helpful. Despite it not being a Garmin, you get free lifetime map updates – which you can update by connecting it to the internet. On average, the maps update twice a year, and the fact that you can use it and program it using a PC and a Mac make it very universal. It does have a 7-inch touch screen which makes it pretty easy to use. Like the Garmins, it features a special customizability option that lets you add favorite places and help you save your searches while you’re traveling. You can mount it extremely easily, and it even has Bluetooth technology integrated into its processor so you can use it to make phone calls with hands-free abilities. When you customize your route, you can also shape them according to your RV size, weight, and more. The only real downside to it is that it doesn’t have a very high batter life, so it practically requires constant charging or remaining plugged into an outlet.
