I have considered a 7 inch Garmin. I am wondering what is, or was, the most feature rich 7 inch Garmin GPS? Was there ever a 7 inch version of the Garmin Nüvi 3597LMTHD or Garmin DriveLuxe 51 LMT-S?
I do see that there is the Garmin DriveSmart 65 with Amazon Alexa. Could that be the most feature rich 7 inch Garmin?
I don't think so.
The Garmin "Premium" series devices (3597 /3598 LMTHD and DriveLuxe) were all 5 inch high res (800 x 480) screens. Probably the top 7" Garmins would be the DriveSmart series or the special purpose RV/Dezl devices

2797
My 2797 has a 7" screen. By Garmins numbering system the second number indicates the screen size.
Therefore a 2597 is basically the same GPS with a 5" screen.
To be honest I like the 7" screen but when traveling it's a PIA to stash it out of sight at night!

Overlander
The most feature rich navigator Garmin offers for road use is the Overlander:

It is in the RV category and has a price tag of $600. A bit too rich for my blood.
Good call.

I had forgotten about this off road device. It weighs a pound and comes with RAM mounts. That must be one strong suction cup!
