“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 vice president 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 easily prepare for their next customized adventure
by inputting their motorhome profile into the RV 785. Once the
navigator stores the size and weight of the RV3, 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™. To help locate the
best places for a pit stop, the RV 785 is preloaded with a
directory of RV parks and services that can be filtered with
personal preferences. In addition, the RV 785 utilizes a vast
road-trip ready feature-set that includes the HISTORY® 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 RV 785 keeps drivers connected during their travels. By
downloading the Garmin Drive™ app, it’s easy to take advantage of
live traffic updates, advanced weather forecasts and photoLive
traffic cameras4 right 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 notifications5 and voice-activated navigation. And
built-in Wi-Fi® connectivity gives users access to map and software
updates without having to connect the navigator to a computer.
The included powered magnetic mount makes it easy to attach,
detach, or adjust the location of the RV 785, and a video-in port
also allows for third-party wireless camera usage. The RV 785 is
compatible with the Garmin BC™ 35 wireless backup camera solution
to help drivers spot hard-to-see obstructions behind the RV.
The Garmin RV 785 is expected to be available this month with a
suggested retail price of $499.99. To learn more, visit
