“The RV 890 introduces the largest Garmin display in portable RV
navigation,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global
consumer sales. “Whether you’re the driver or co-captain, the
larger 8-inch screen makes it notably easier to oversee your route
while discovering interesting stops along the way.”
The extra-large RV navigator comes equipped with several secure
mounting options to compliment any cab interior. This includes a
powered magnetic mount with heavy-duty suction cup, a screw-down
mount and a ball adapter with an AMPS plate that’s compatible with
third-party hardware – including RAM mounting systems.
The RV 890 provides all the core RV-related navigation features
from legacy Garmin RV navigators, including custom RV routing1 that
takes into account the size and weight of the camper or trailer to
find an appropriate route option, and road warnings allow users to
foresee upcoming hazards including sharp curves and steep grades.
Sightseeing is made easy with a preloaded directory of RV Parks and
Services and TripAdvisor® traveler ratings. Users can also take
advantage of preloaded travel content that includes Ultimate Public
Campgrounds, KOA®, iOverlander™, a directory of U.S. national
parks, Foursquare® points of interest and street maps for North
America.2
Additionally, travelers can benefit from other RV 890 features
that add convenience and encourage safer driving. This includes
Bluetooth® hands-free calling3 and a revamped Garmin voice
assistant option that simplifies startup commands to “OK Garmin” so
drivers will be able to organically speak to the RV 890 and keep
their hands on the steering wheel. Built-in Wi-Fi® allows the
navigator to perform map and software updates without connecting to
a computer.
With the new easy trip planning feature, owners can pair the RV
890 with the Garmin Drive™ app4 to import and share GPX files
before or during a trip. Additionally, the Garmin Drive app will
allow users access to live fuel prices, traffic and weather, and
the option to view smartphone notifications and photoLive traffic
cameras. The RV 890 can also be easily paired with the BC™35
wireless backup camera or third-party compatible backup cameras5 to
clearly see behind the RV when moving in reverse.
Available now, the RV 890 GPS navigator has a suggested retail
price of $499.99. To learn more, visit garmin.com/rv.
