Garmin RV 890, GPS Navigator for RVs with Edge-to-Edge 8” Display, Preloaded Campgrounds, Custom Routing and More

I Cannot connect the power cord, because the head of the power cord is too big to insert into the GPS. However, until I called Garmin Products, I learned, the RV Garmin power cord plugs into the base magnetic unit and NOT into the GPS. This should be information to any new buyer, before trying to return your unit!!!

What can I say? This does exactly what it is supposed to do. This Garmin takes the guesswork out of the equation for towing larger rv's! We purchased this just before leaving to come out west on a 2500 mile trip. Since you input your RV dimensions, it maps out your route where it is safe to take it, avoiding low overpasses and such!

We used our Google maps in our GMC 2500HD pulling our 42ft 5th wheel to Cherokee NC. it took us up over the mountain 5000 feet scenic route through 5 tunnels where we had to drive in the middle so not to damage our 5th wheel. When we finally got the KOA camp ground we told the office and they replied they repeatedly contacted Google about updating the route but they never have. So we purchased the Garmin 890 never have been let down yet. I work for an RV dealer and spoken to our delivery drivers and this is all they use. They all had problems using Google maps and don't trust them

The RV filter probably over-compensates, so I use the automobile settings and just try to be more aware. The live weather feature (requires a connection to your phone) has kept me out of trouble several times.

Pretty much like any other GPS, I suspect. After a year I still have not learned how this unit is supposed to be turned off. Since I drive the truck almost every day I just leave it on. I got this unit so I can set it for a trailer. But...I run it as a car most of the time. And there are lots of business listed that no longer exist. And like all my GPS's before it has sent me on some truly awful routes.

I was debating between this GPS and the smaller one with the 7" screen. I am glad that I opted to go for this one, even for a hundred dollars more. The screen is large and easy to read, gives a lot of details, the display is TFT technology and is crystal clear. If you have an RV, this is a great choice. It gives you lots of information from campgrounds near you to the weather as well as warnings about low clearances. The bluetooth works great and the voice commands work quite well also. Suction cup works really well. I think this one is a keeper!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!

My in dash GPS/radio/CD player etc... went out on me just before a big trip. I Purchased the RV 890 navigator and mounted it on my dash. I figured out the problem with my in dash unit so now I have both working in my motorhome. Even though I fixed my in dash unit, I am very glad I bought the RV 890. It has a bigger clearer screen, is more user friendly, Lets me look up resorts, gas stations, campsites, and use routes by voice command etc...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.

This product is a must have and so much more. The features are great for use while driving an RV. (although it also has auto function also). Tried it out last week on a camping trip and wish I purchased one long ago. Had an issue with finding the lighter plug in on the unit and contacted the seller. I received a response within an hour and they helped me sort it out. They were pleasant and great customer service. Didn't rate voice recognition as I haven't used it yet.

The GPS itself is fine, however it only has US maps. I knew it was coming from the US however one would think that since it's on Amazon AUSTRALIA, it would be suitable to work here. Wrong.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.

Works awesome, great to have all the information in one spot. Easily detached and co-pilot can use.

I really liked that I could put in my 5th wheel dimensions, that came in real handy as it kept me away from bad roads.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

Don't do what I did & pay attention to the reviews that said the power cable doesn't fit. It doesn't plug into the screen. It plugs into the mount.
