Navi specifically for campers with good approaches but considerable weaknesses in practice

Garmin 760LMT-D EU Camper navigation device (17.8 cm (7-inch) TFT display, 800 x 480 pixels, SD card slot) (Electronics)

Customer Review

Since I enjoy spending extended motorhome tours through Scandinavia and my other two Navis Garmin nüvi 3590LMT and Becker Ready 70 LMU not take into account the specific dimensions of a motorhome in route planning and route guidance, and therefore are only suitable for use in the motor home, I have full of anticipation the Garmin 760LMT-D EU Camper ordered.

After the first tests, however, disillusion has already taken hold, as already indicated above, the Garmin 760LMT-D EU Camper knows quite convince with good approaches, but also suffers from teething troubles and unfortunately at garmintypischen weaknesses.
The cards are with Stand 1/2014 really up to date, so is already a one-way street marked as such which has been converted into a one-way only since October 2013.

However, a further advantage of the additional camper specific POIs should be said limiting that by no means all campers parking, campsites are listed, but this is perhaps something demands a lot and will be rectified in future map updates successively.
It is very useful that you can enter the dimensions of his vehicle and these are taken into account when planning your route, and that's the real point of the particular makes a Navi for campers in my opinion, but unfortunately this does not work 100%, so will you Unfortunately, on bridges piloted under which you better not go through every now and then, if the mobile home is not to be a convertible.
Otherwise, the routes are, however calculated quickly and safely if the device has first found a satellite, although it works more quickly than with TomTom but slower than in Becker and Medion (with Navis these manufacturers our company cars are equipped), so it can, in extreme cases even a minute is take up a satellite is found. This issue, however, I know already from my Garmin nüvi 3590LMT.

As with the Garmin nüvi 3590LMT is the Garmin 760LMT-D EU campers the GPS or the screen display when to turn very inaccurate, although you will be asked "turn now from) but the screen shows still between 30 and 90 meters to the turn on, even though you just already stands at the junction at the moment, on the open road, this is not a problem since there usually is only one turn. In a city where several roads branch off, however, within the next 100 meters, this is already a car quite a nuisance, but a 6-foot motor home there is an absolute NO GO. zumahl then maybe sit still for people who for the first time in an RV is the subsequent turning maneuvers become a serious problem.

Another gripe is, as with all Garmin Navis which in itself is very convenient voice control which not just turn on when you "voice control" says but also every now and then when a little louder talks due to wind noise with the passenger or if the car radio is due to a traffic announcement is of quiet to loud.

What then already + brings me to the real-time traffic information via DAB, a great improvement to standard TMC (a Premium TMC can be downloaded free of charge, however, brought with my Garmin nüvi 3590LMT only a slight improvement) should represent when they are for his time available.
Unfortunately, it has Garmin also failed when 760LMT-D EU campers, the speed warning (not camera warning) to allow a tolerance, so you will be annoyed even at one km / h speed is exceeded with a penetrating warning tone and a red-colored speedometer. Although you can turn off the warning tone fortunately, but loses the whole thing and its meaning, because who looks constantly on his navigation system instead of on the street, just to see if the speed display grade is white or red.

Also on the Smartphone Link with which one can find a vast array information on the Navi display, you can safely forgo because most information services are chargeable, and just when you can view traffic information, this can be sensitive to shrink the monthly data volume of the phone contract and you then for the rest of the month just goes with the speed of ISDN with the phone to the web. Furthermore, the data between phone and Navi be replaced by Bluetoth, just the constant exchange of traffic information costs noticeably battery and a serious side effect is that the smartphone will connect up with the Navi and no longer with the possibly present speakerphone of the vehicle. This has on the one hand the effect that you have to operate the smartphone no longer via steering wheel buttons but awkward about Navi, and also talks about watering and watering microphone speaker of Navis must be kept.

Another point of criticism is the sheer size of Navis, the interested reader may now argue that you have to live with this size if you have a navigation system with 7-inch screen At length, but the excessively wide screen edges of 760LMT-D EU campers make it impossible this Navi without hazardous (my subjective feeling) attach visual obstruction to not just small RV discs, not to mention car windows completely. That there is another way proves Becker with his also 7-inch screen of the Becker Ready 70 LMU whose edges are noticeably smaller. But at least is provided with the D-760LMT EU campers a Amaturenbretthalterung contain the size and weight of the 760LMT-D EU Camper grown is what is also true for the window bracket.

CONCLUSION: Three stars for a Campernavi which offers all the best in all navigation specifically for campers and also good offers innovative approaches, but also many white part also has serious weaknesses in detail. To conclude again that this Navi is specifically designed for campers and is designed, however, who looks a Navi for passenger cars, is already because of the price and the number of the non-usable in use in the car functions, better off with another model ,
