Garmin Introduces the RV 785 for RV Enthusiasts

Garmin International recently introduced the RV 785 GPS navigator, which offers RV-specific navigation options and a new built-in dash camera for RV and camping enthusiasts. The RV 785 offers a high-resolution, 7-inch display while automatically recording the journey and saving video of incidents. The built-in camera also allows for more driver assistance features, including lane departure and forward collision warnings.

“The introduction of a built-in dash camera to the RV 785 brings one of our most sought out features to RV travelers,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin VP of global consumer sales. “Drivers can sit back and take advantage of camper-friendly directories loaded into the RV 785 to easily explore new destinations, while the built-in dash camera makes it simple to record and save video of any incidents along the journey.”

Travelers can prepare for their next adventure by inputting their motorhome profile into the RV 785. Once the navigator stores the size and weight of the RV, drivers can receive routes that take into account weight limits, steep grades, and more. The RV 785 also gives drivers access to RV-specific points of interest with the integration of Ultimate Public Campgrounds, KOA, iOverlander and PlanRV.

The RV 785 is preloaded with a directory of RV parks and services that can be filtered with personal preferences. Additionally, the RV 785 utilizes a road-trip ready feature-set that includes the History channel database of notable sites, a U.S. National Parks directory, TripAdvisor traveler ratings and millions of Foursquare points of interest. The navigator offers detailed mapping for North America and incudes map updates for cross-country travelers to stay up-to-date with the latest map data available. Garmin Traffic is also available directly out of the box with an included traffic cable.

The Garmin Drive app offers live traffic updates, weather forecasts, and photoLive traffic cameras on the RV 785 navigation screen. When paired with a compatible smartphone, drivers can keep their hands on the wheel and take advantage of smart features such as hands-free calling, smart notifications, and voice-activated navigation.

The Garmin RV 785 is expected to be available this month with an MSRP of $499.99.
