I just got a Gramin 890 for my Winnebago Solis and am trying to figure out how to mount it on the dash. It looks as if you used the screw in mount on the plastic dash. What screws or bolts did you use and how strong is that hold? thanks
I used the screws that came with the Garmin. I installed it at the end of April and it’s holding strong. Their was a rubber insert in the tray area on my dash that I removed and I then mounted it on the plastic dash. If I ever decide to remove the Garmin Mount I have the option of putting the rubber insert back so it will cover the holes from the mount.
The basic warranty is 90 days however it can vary from state to state and if you plan to use it on a boat (marine). Here is the link to the warranty page for Garmin. www.garmin.com/en-US/legal/consumer-limited-warranty/
The problem I'm having and attempting to work out with Garmin and/or RV TripWizard, is to have the unit receive a pre-planned trip (.GPX file) and display that trip properly to navigate from stop-to-stop. If you do pre-planned stops, are you having THIS problem??
I haven’t used that feature yet. I haven’t been anyplace with reliable wifi to try to get something ported in from trip wizard. The problems I have had have worked themselves out when I updated the firmware. I’ll try to check out the feature your talking about when I get a chance.
Go into the settings menu on the device. There is a setting on the device to check for updates. You need to have a good wifi connection. Then follow the prompts to update.
Very helpful! We got one for Xmas and will be heading south in a week! I’ve watched other videos but yours was super helpful!
We just got one and we're getting ready to head out on our first trip with it this next week. Looks like a great GPS.
Safe travels.
Great, I just pick up the RV785 but I haven't had a chance to use it yet.
Way to go. I have one also.

@@ourroadtocamelot Thanks for the quick reply; it was very helpful
We have a GPS in the truck and I heard not as reliable as a dash mount GPS. Good show. This is what we will invest into. What is the warranty?

That’s awesome. I,m guessing end of season and clearing out their overstock. Great for the consumer though!
Does it have a tracker?
The Garmin does use gps tracking if that’s what you mean. I haven’t tried it yet but I believe you can punch in exact gps coordinates as well.
Best Buy $399
I will be doing a follow up video on the Garmin in October highlighting our summer travel experiences using the RV890. Should be good! Stay tuned 😄
I just got mine for 399.99
