Had it with Magellan, just returned my new 9490 as it wouldn't pick up satellites. Do you know if Garmin 760 is top of the line RV GPS or is something new on the way??
Thanks

Top of the line?
Actually the Garmin RV 660 (2015) is a newer model than the RV 760 (2013). I guess it is a matter of opinion which is "top of the line". The 660 has a glass multitouch screen, although it is 6" instead of 7" like the 760. Note that they both have the same pixel resolution though (800 x 480).
AFAIK, Garmin has not announced any new products in the RV line. Only they know whether or not a new one is in the works.

Garmin RV760
I don't know about the 660, but the RV760 is great if you travel with an RV. You can set it to "RV" or "Automobile" for us when you are not towing the RV. 7" screen if great. Just my opinion.
Cameras?
I just bought a RV660, and it is the newest. The RV760 shows as a "Previous Model" on Garmin's site.
The 660 uses the newer Garmin BC30 backup camera and the new "baby cam" camera. The 660 also has the traffic receiver built-in to the unit whereas the 760 needs the traffic power cable. I think there are some other differences but I don't recall all of them off the top of my head. When you compare the two, look closely at the route planning and avoidance features, and voice guidance differences.
The 660 also has multiple navigation modes as Driver35 described.
It's about the Line- If a line can be drawn between the powers granted and the rights retained, it would seem to be the same thing, whether the latter be secured by declaring that they shall not be abridged, or that the former shall not be extended.
