Reply to "Garmin 1095 RV GPS"

I've been using this for about a year now with interesting results.  Something went bad wrong with mine and I spent an hour online with tech support before they gave up and issued a return code.  Bottom line it quit importing routes totally.  And then it quit building routes that were over two hundred miles.  Garmin sent a replacement.  It's still a little quirky with importing routes from RV Trip Wizard.  Sometimes it will crash when I try to display the route.  If I load it a 2nd time it will work.

I am now convinced all GPS's will try to send you down a bad road eventually.  I have never go use dirt roads and twice it's tried to send me down a dirt road.  RV Trip Wizard will put you in the pretzel hold as well.  I don't know about you but pulling a trailer on the interstate right through the middle of Dallas TX at 3:30 PM is something I never want to experience with a while pulling a TT again.  When I got to our daily stop location I pulled up the Trip Wizard and sure enough I planned that route.  Lesson learned here is after the route is planned zoom in and check real close where it's sending you.  I will gladly spend an additional 20 minutes on a beltway around a busy city.

I'm guessing some of the big fuel stations do pay to be on the route and highlighted.  But other even better locations are not even when you search for them.  Case in point is Buc-ees.  I never pass one of those if I can help it.  Big lanes and cheap fuel.  They almost give away their ice.  I sent in a request to RV Trip Wizard to add them.  They replied right back that they are working on it.  I think that means they are waiting for a payment from Buc-ees.
