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 vice president 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.”

sites from leading media brand HISTORY® Network, a U.S. National
Parks directory, TripAdvisor® traveler ratings and millions of

The RV 780 navigator boasts useful features to help the RV
enthusiast stay connected and aware of their surroundings for a
better travel experience. For example, built-in Wi-Fi® is available
