Garmin International recently unveiled the new RV 780 GPS navigator, specifically designed for RV and camping enthusiasts. The RV 780 navigator offers a 6.95-inch high-resolution, edge-to-edge display that allows RV travelers to develop specialized custom routes that consider the size and weight of their vehicle to provide efficient routing, road warnings for steep grades, sharp curves, weight limits and more.
The RV 780 includes a directory of RV parks and services along with access to millions of points of interest (POIs) that bring Ultimate Public Campgrounds, KOA, iOverlander, PlanRV and more helpful features along on the drive.
“What makes the RV 780 special is how well it was crafted to make the most of your overall camping experience by limiting the road challenges that come with driving an RV or camper,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin VP of global consumer sales. “Having access to millions of RV-specific POIs at your fingertips, connected features, along with road warnings based on your RV profile, can make all the difference when you are planning your next campground adventure.”
The RV 780 arrives road-trip ready with the inclusion of notable sites from media brand HISTORY Network, a U.S. National Parks directory, TripAdvisor traveler ratings and millions of Foursquare points of interest. Garmin Traffic is also available with an included traffic cable.
Built-in Wi-Fi is available to access map and software updates. The device also promotes a clear display that details full North American maps and is compatible with the free Garmin Drive app.
Once the app is downloaded, the device can connect with a smartphone via Bluetooth for premium access to live traffic, photoLive traffic cameras, and weather forecasts. Connectivity to Bluetooth also enables the option to use hands-free calling and smart notifications that can be seen directly on the navigator’s display.
The RV 780 is compatible with the Garmin BC 30 wireless backup camera solution to help drivers spot hard-to-see obstructions behind the RV.
