Best-Reviewed RV GPS Options
TL;DR: Navigating the RV world? We've got your back with top-rated GPS picks. Explore phone apps, tablets, and more navigation solutions. Make informed choices for a safe and enjoyable RV journey!
As the weather continues to warm up across North America, there are more and more RVs hitting the road. Some RVers are part-time, only choosing to travel a few times throughout the year, while others are full-time, and some are in-between. No matter how often you use your RV, chances are you most likely take your RV out farther than your immediate local area. When traveling into regions that are unknown or unfamiliar, even experienced travelers tend to use a map or a GPS to help get them there. Unfortunately, just looking at maps alone cannot prevent RVers from traveling down roads or across bridges with weight restrictions or from coming across a short underpass. A regular GPS alone cannot help with these specific, size-related conundrums. Thankfully, specific RV GPS systems have been developed, and these allow you to input your vehicle’s specifications and will put you on the safest, quickest route suitable for your RV, bypassing those hazards. With more technology that is released each year, choosing a GPS can be a difficult decision- and typically a pricey one, too. Harvest Hosts has your back. We’ve compiled a list of some of the top-rated RV GPS systems that have been reviewed by RVers just like you. Let’s dive in!

Garmin RV 785 with Built-in Dash Cam
Across the board, the Garmin RV 785 has some of the highest reviews amongst users. Garmin GPS navigation systems are household names, and for good reason. Their GPS systems are durable, reliable, and relevant. The 785 model is the newest-to-date with a high-resolution seven-inch touchscreen display and loads of features. This particular model includes a built-in dash camera, which can be handy in the event of a car accident. Some owners also use their dash cam to safely capture scenic landscapes for them. If a car accident occurs, the GPS can detect it and automatically save your trip footage, even grabbing the exact, current coordinates at the site of the event. Speaking of safety, this GPS model has built-in voice assistance to help users stay focused on the road. Similar to older Garmin models, the 785 also detects traffic delays, road warnings and hazards, steep grades, sharp curves, and more. There is even integrated campground, national park, shopping, and restaurant data built-in, as well. With this GPS, there’s no need to even grab your phone or computer to do research or make a selection ahead of time. For these reasons (and more), this Garmin GPS is one of the top-rated amongst RVers.
