Not what I expected

I expected a reliable and accurate gps. This unit is neither. On our inaugural RV trip our route was supposed to be south on I-95. As we were approaching the on ramp Garmin instructed us to turn left and head “north” on I-95. There were many instances where Garmin was showing a max speed of 35 mph but the actual posted speed limit was 55. The route planner feature is not easy to use. If you want to change a route section you’re supposed to enter two contact points for the route to change. If you don’t zoom in you might get routed on to narrow back country roads that an RV has no business being on. I never had confidence that we were on a RV friendly route. For this kind of money I expected a much better product.
Bought it 5 months ago we travel with a 34 travel trailer and so far been good not getting us in to bad spot wish easyer to load multiple day trips from google map that works or a gamin trip planner for pc then load to garmin We google map on phone with the garmin
The GPS is a Garmin one with good-quality maps. However, the software is old and unfriendly, and I spend much time setting up a route. So, I returned it and bought the XT-2 for a motorcycle. It is much better even though I have some software concerns, but this is a subject for another review.
This is my 4th Garmin and each one gets better. It’s easy to set up and easy to use. Once in awhile I don’t understand why it is going a certain way and I ignore it, but those times are rare.
