Nuvi 2798LMT with Backup Camera

Just read about this one and it seems to be a new model in the USA but the number seems to have been used in Europe already.

Looks interesting but would like to hear reviews first, not sure if it is already shipping or not.

Curious if they have made any changes to the voice commands as far as what you can do and how good it is compared to my 2460LMT

Also I wonder if the BC 20 wireless backup camera is any good, I hear a lot of bad things about wireless cameras in general, just wonder if Garmin has it figured out.

I really like my 2460LMT and it will take more than a big screen to get me to upgrade, anything as new and improved?

Dash cam

Since garmin is able to integrate a backup cam with a current 7" nuvi, the above 2798, I wonder how long until we can see a 7" size
with their integrated driving recorder, or dash cam. They already sell the 5" 3592 with this feature in Asia, but I personally would prefer this feature on a 7" model. I have used my 2797 since it was released and I would never go back to a smaller size. I would upgrade in a flash.

Good idea

Good for older cars without that feature.

BC 20

I use a BC 20 with my Dezl760 and it performs well. The video isn't quite as clear as a wired system and there is some minor interference occasionally but it works well for it's intended purpose IMO. The units flexibility and ease of installation more than make up for these minor flaws.

Backup Camera

My truck is a 2000 and I carry a slide in camper on it most of the summer and can't see out the back. Plus I pull a trailer some of the time so being able to see to hitch up would be nice to. Was thinking about adding a Backup camera in the spring anyway but this would eliminate needing an extra display.
