A good friend's GPS died recently, and he replaced it with a Garmin from Good Sam's/Camping World designed (softwared) specifically for RVers. It has all the RV parks/camping areas noted on the moving map (sounds like). Also, hospitals are marked on the map display, too, plus other things of Sr./RVer interest. He says it is way more intuitive than his Tom-Tom that died a very slow deceiving death. Lol.
I just thought I would pass this along so if/when your on the market for a new one, you could evaluate/weigh this option.
I have not used it, but he is quite tickled with it. About $300.
My Garmin went "whacky" on our trip to Yellowstone caravanning with this friend when his Tom-Tom was whacky, too.
It was entertaining comparing the outrageous routing and crazy times we were both getting. My spousal unit (wife) wasn't ready to give up on our relatively new Garmin, so she downloaded all new software plus current database into our Garmin, and it has been good since (she is the navigator while rolling, and is good with tech stuff).
We (she) routinely uses a smart phone to double check the Garmin after it slowly went wacky before. Also, google maps routing options in the pre planning stage gives me/us a very good mental picture before we start. If it is in an area where cellular data might be iffy, I snap pictures of the relevant maps at different zoom/scale on the iPad, so the px can be referred to independent of any outside links. Works well for us.
