UPDATE: 12-08-21 GPS crashed while uploading software and maps, probably my fault. This was just prior to a trip to Florida and GPS was pretty much useless. Got back home and called Garmin. Talked to a young man named Michael B. and he and I were on the phone for over an hour restoring the unit to factory specs. He was professional, patient, an expert on this RV-890, and at the end of the session the GPS is now performing as it should. I can not say enough about the fantastic support from Garmin! Would I buy this unit again?? Absolutely! It is a fine GPS, especially for a RV!
The feature that other GPS systems (like Sygic) have that Garmin does not is the ability to plan a trip in Google Maps and send it to Garmin. You can send a destination but there is NO easy way to send a trip via a planned route from Google to Garmin. Other features missing: Reverse trip, Easy way turn off the GPS answer phone feature when I have an earbud in, and a "Please do not change my route for a faster route" feature.
On the positive side, works better than the other brands. The magnetic mount is really nice. Easy interface. Quick boot up. I currently drive with both the Garmin and Google maps. Between the two, very reliable navigation. I would buy it again, but............ I would instantly buy an upgrade if it had a way to quickly import a route made in Google Maps.
Also you can pull it off its magnetic mount very easily so your passenger can set things up or look things up from the convenience of their seat without bending over while going down the road. When your done you just put it near the magnetic mount and it will magnetically pull the unit onto the mount in the exact correct place.
I really like this feature.
The RV 890 isn't perfect. It seems to understand my voice commands most of the time, but sometimes it doesn't.
Also if you program it to stay on interstate highways and put in an address well off of one it may give you a creative route. I think it's a great unit and the more I become familiar with it these issues will become less significant.
Overall I'm very happy with the RV 890.
Top reviews from other countries
It only has US maps and to download an Aussie map was about $150. So back it went and bought one from an Aussie site for the same price. Don't get fooled as I did.
I had trouble with it initially as I didn't read the directions but once i got that down it was great.
It took me from Manitoba all the way down to New Mexico.
The best part is that it has all the campsites and fitted it to my rig. I got caught in South Dakota with high winds and was able to grab a campsite that would accommodate my 35 foot 5th wheel.
I like it
