Worth every penny for RVers
Crutchfield customer from Simpsonville, SC on 12/12/2021
Being able to input the parameters of your motorhome and get routes that prevent you from bridge height and weight restriction problems makes this worth every penny. Certain features are a little slow to load and the weather radar could use higher definition.
Pros: Size. Easy to read without a major re-focus of the eyes.
Cons: Certain features slow to load; weather radar could use higher definition.

Great Navigator
Crutchfield customer from Knoxville, TN on 9/27/2021
I have owned several Garmin products but this RV 890 tops them all. This unit is very functional and very intuitive to use. The size of the screen is a welcome sight for this old timer and the fact that this unit notifies me of intersections/traffic lights with installed cameras has given me pause to squeak through a changing traffic light. I am also impressed with the accuracy of the unit's tracking and the advance notice of upcoming streets and intersections. All in all, I am very pleased with this navigator even though I do not tow a trailer or own any type of RV.
Pros: ?Screen Size. ?Functionality. ?Accuracy. ?Accommodates accessories such as a backup camera.
Cons: As with all Garmins that I have ownned, it takes an inordinate amount of time to update software.

Garmin RV 890
Crutchfield customer from Rochester, NY on 9/15/2021
I purchased this to use with my 5th wheel to avoid low bridges. So far, so good. It has done exactly what I hoped. My only complaint is that it is nearly impossible to attach to your windshield! The Garmin itself doesn't stay attached to the ball on the arm and IF you do get it to stay you definitely cannot adjust it or it will fall off again. That is a terrible design flaw.
Pros: Easy to operate, size of screen makes viewing easy
Cons: Finding a way to attach it for driving (I will NOT use screws to attach it to my dashboard).

Good So Far
Crutchfield customer from Anacortes, WA on 7/18/2021
It seems like a well thought out GPS thus far, but haven't had a chance to take it on the road as we're awaiting the delivery of a new RV. The voice control is definitely helpful and the destination entry seems much easier. We formerly had a Garmin dezl 560 RV. The 8" screen is definitely adequate for our purposes.

Works great!
Crutchfield customer from Daytona Beach, FL on 7/8/2021
Just started using it but so far it's doing a great job of keeping us out of traffic and roads that aren't best suited to our motorhome. I am simultaneously running 2 other map programs and by far the Garminnia giving the better path to travel.

Garmin RV 890
Crutchfield customer from Groton, MA on 6/15/2021
Great tool for traveling with our Fifth Wheel RV. Easy to use. 8" screen makes sight picture very easy to read. Have not yet reviewed the manual to understand all the options. Sometimes it provides street names for next turn - instead of Route # as street signs note. (Will have to study manual to see if there is option for Route Numbers as priority in description.

Easy set up
Crutchfield customer from Chesterton, IN on 5/20/2021
This was easy to set up and enter the measurements of our truck and fifth wheel.
Pros: Works well with my SD card with trail maps.
Cons: Power cord plugs into base not the unit directly. So if you don't want to attach it to the windshield- the passenger will need to hold the base and all.

Mounting is a problem
Lloyd from Ellinwood, KS on 3/25/2021
I have had several Garmin GPS units in the past for Motor Homes. Just opened this one up and I am sure it will work as well as the others did. How ever I did not get a plate to stick to the dash for a mount. The old one is not big enough. You do get some screws so you can put holes in your dash, not the best idea. Probably going to send it back and stay with my 770. I drive a DP Class A and mounting this on the windshield makes it too far from me.
Pros: It's a Garmin, good products
Cons: Mounting on Dash sucks

Great RV GPS
Crutchfield customer from Columbus, IN on 12/8/2020
This has been a great GPS system for hauling our camper. We have compared this to several of the iOS apps but this one has been on the top each time. Maps are updated and the traffic updates are nice to have. It is easy to setup and the ability to put all of the information about our camper in was really helpful. The screen is huge and extremely easy to read even in full sunlight. I really like the magnetic mount. You can take the unit inside to plan your trip and also so nobody tries to steal it.
