Recommended GPS

I use and like my RM 740 but it is running Android too... so it’s just a version of a tablet.

And ya, I use mine as a “backup” to my atlas as well... wink wink... lol

 

I have a RM540 that I bought new 3 years ago and it still works like a champ. Just like the way the menus work and it is easy to navigate through its various capabilities / functions.

 

If you want to be on local news or lost buy Garmin.

 

Garmin 780. I think there's a what type of GPS do you use or recommend everyday here. Lol

 

That tomtom is bad. Uses their own data and it's not as extensive as here maps.

I'd say copilot truck or smart truck route 2 and an android tablet.

 

I have the 540, no issues yet. Pretty happy with it.

 

RM used to be the gold standard, but that was then. This is now, and a 730 and a TND80 each conked out just after the warranty expired. Then I bought a 300 dashcam, an unmitigated POS that did not work from the day it arrived. It went back for a refund and that went as smoothly as a carpenter's rasp. I will not spend another $.01 on RM, their quality control and customer service have both gone to hell.

I run a RM 765 now because my company requires it, backed up by a Garmin 7" that helps out when the RM gets stuck. The Garmin always works.

Funny story about the TND80. I was southbound on I-5 in Oregon one day, and south of the Cali line was nothing but yellow. No roads, water, cities or terrain. My first thought was "Cool! It actually did fall off!" I was profoundly disappointed when it was just a corrupted state datafile, the first of many.

 

Or sold to a near peer State.

From what I understand China are not doing well.

I lean towards the Garmin.
