Garmin RV 660, I did not want the larger screen of the RV 760 or 770. Works great much better than Magellan or tom tom from personal experience.

Everyone has their preference, but I like the Magellan RV9365t. Haven't had any mis-direction, height, or any other issues with it in 6 years. Easy updating too.
CW has it on sale for $249.47 this week.

I had the Garmin RV 660 in my Amazon wishlist and got a notice about exclusive prime members only $100 off. Just ordered it for $233. If your prime member it may be worth the look. I'll post a review of it as soon as I get it.

We use Google Maps on our iPhones. Never has failed us yet. If you're looking for more info other than directions, then Garmin units are good.

I have an IPad and use the CoPilot RV app. If you already have the IPad the app can be a real savings and has served me well for years.

Like I said I have the Garmin but was torn between that and the Rand McNally. I think both have gotten enough praise on these forums that either will be good. I don't here to much about Magellan.

We use a Garmin RV 660. Starting on our third year with it. Very accurate for lane choices at intersections, great traffic reports and has re-routed us, several times, around traffic problems. I have no experience with any other brands.
