About Garmin RV 780 GPS Navigator with Traffic
Overall Feedback:
80% positive
81% praised for its pinpoint accuracy, but 19% experienced occasional errors
The GPS unit is not perfect yet, but it is very cautious not to put me in a bad situation with my RV.
During our first test run, the unit suggested turning onto a closed, gated road into a rock quarry that has been in existence for decades, indicating poor accuracy.
I have complained about the GPS unit's accuracy, as it sometimes gives incorrect speed limits and directions, even when going the wrong way.
In Florida, the maps were not quite accurate.

I am disappointed with the battery life of the unit as it lasts for less than an hour on a single charge.
The device goes black and the only way to get it back is to unplug it.
The GPS device took me over 30 miles instead of 7 miles to reach my destination in Las Vegas.

81% found the interface intuitive and easy to use, but 19% found it confusing
The user interface takes some time to get used to, but the help function has been useful when needed.
Creating multiple stops and saving them for a trip is not user-friendly in the interface.
75% praised its water resistance, but 25% experienced water damage
I did not mention anything about the water resistance of the GPS unit.
In unfamiliar cities, the unit has failed me several times when I needed it the most.
