I wish I had seen this review prior to my most recent purchase. One question, though. Does it have BlueTooth interface for cellular phones?

Steve,

Garmin has three trucker/RV models. Not cheap though.

They all have bluetooth.

Dave,

Does it warn you about tunnels and any Propane restrictions?

It might. You can enter the height, width, weight , and hazmat (LP being one ) and it will route you according to restrictions.

Wow, great write up RV101. Definitely a lot of things to consider the next time I am in the market for a GPS. :turtle:

Dave,

Thanks, I'm looking at the 560LT and 560 LMT.

I noticed that the 560 LMT has free lifetime map updates where the lower two models don't. The extra cost over the 560LT or 465T would pay for its self after 1 or 2 updates.

Exactly what I was thinking. But the LMT is not available yet.
Guess I'll have to wait. I just hope the traffic info is better.
On my last six 6 hr trips, my iphone's built maps and traffic, the traffic was much more accurate on my iphone than my Garmin.
I'd like to know who iphone is using for traffic updates.

I'll have to admit, my Maggie has traffic too. I'm not too terribly disappointed with it.
