I recently returned a Magellan RV model as it continually took me down unpaved roads.. Try turning 60 ft around with out unhooking the car.. Does RM

Yep, sure does! We have a 40' motorhome with tow vehicle - 66' total length. Send us down a partially-paved road directly to an underpass. Problem? Underpass was designed for single-lane car traffic & only 8' high! We're over 12' high & clearly wider than your average Buick! When we tried to locate a detour around the underpass that would accommodate our size, it sent us down a dirt side road that ended in a field. DON'T buy this GPS!!!! It's a nightmare!

I bought "Magellan RM5265SGLUC RoadMate 5265T-LMB" and use it with back up camera "Magellan CPBCKUSGXXX Wireless Back Up Camera". It is wireless so you will not get instant response when the vehicle is in reverse. The hesitation is about 1 - 3 seconds. Installation of both was easy for me as it was used on a Honda Ridgeline. Hope this helps.

There are two settings, GMRS and VHF. We use ours on road trips and so forth too. I would test them out to the distance it can be used. On land doesn't reach as far due to slopes, hills, etc.

Ok thanks. I thought mine was broken since I set its preferences to Avoid U-Turns and it was still telling me to "make a U-turn". For some reason it does not have oneway street info for at least two cities here in Oregon with populations over 12000.

It's not too hard to figure out and use. When I go Geocaching, it doesn't give me the distance to the cache like the Magellan eXplorist GC does. Sometimes it will freeze and will be slow to respond.

I have used the Mountek nGroove 6000g CD a few times. If the road is rough you might get some jiggling, but on most roads, I have experienced little or no jiggle.

I would suggest purchasing another brand. My 560LMT was not "Truck Friendly"... If I desired to become a Garmin 560LMT GPS expert I could have made it perform better. I'd rather buy a unit that requires me to put it in the cab, plug in the power, put in my waypoints and go... The 560LMT doesn't do that, but it will after A LOT OF twiddleing with it... JMO

I'm not sure as I have A old Magellan. I can tell you that it has a few foam blocks inside for adjustment.

Thanks for the input, I actually kept the original Garmin. I realized it couldn't recognize my position re: the street because my house is 1000 ft off the road. I actually like it a lot. It does quirky things like take me to the highway one way and bring me home another even though the streets are not one way. At this point, I'm glad I got it.

Sorry, I don't know. I had the program less than 24 hours. On my 2009 version of Trailer Life Campground navigator, I can have it avoid tunnels and advise roadway elevation warnings in percentages.

I like this feature on the Magellan eXplorist GC. I bought the 110 because I thought it was a step up from the GC, but I prefer the GC over the 110 for Geocaching! You can do what Paul Salvagin said ( I believe it's under "Edit Nav. Fields"). I also just use the Zoom In Tab, which makes the arrow fairly accurate when you get to GZ. Make sure that your auto zoom is OFF (check "Map Options").

I just used the GPS on a long road trip. It was very fast and seemed to stay up with quick turns and tunnels and overpasses. It did not keep track of starting mileage and other information which allowed you to calculate gas mileage, parked time, etc. It only reports time to destination in hour and minutes, and the mileage remaining.

Have you tried driving 30-40 feet? Some self adjust, try pulling forward slowly and see if that helps.

In my opinion, yes. We have a regular GPS that I've used in my car but you can't program it for height and width/length and it doesn't understand that you can't go in tunnels carrying propane or on some small unpaved roads etc. This one also tells you where truck stops are and places to get RV parts and service.

Yes But I did not have a good experience with the 9145. It would not update maps then it refused to tell me where I was or where to go. It was finally replaced with a refurbished 9165. Now It has a faulty power-reset switch. I don't believe these units are as good as the old Magellan units I have used.

I have the Magellan 4250 for a few years now and have never had a problem with their customer services. They have always been prompt, and courteous and took care of my problem or answered my questions whatever the case may be. Previously had the 3250 and no problems then either. Give them another try.

I don't recommend this model personally. It can't find the ways . when you drive on highway it will automatic sent you to some rural ways. and specially when you miss the way this gps pointed out on highway , the navigation will force you turn right or turn left which in real world is a straight line . piss you off uh? further more when you typed in the address from business card , the machine would jump in different name automatic ,and if you turn in researching mode .it will really reseaching .........and reseaching...........till you give up. if you wanna buy ,remember using google map first, try to write down some important addresses, and then use the nivigation .DO NOT RECOMMEND TO UNKNOWN PLACE BY USING THIS ONE.
