My wife and I are on a road trip right now in our Jayco RV. I have the Garmin DriveSmart 65 with Amazon Alexa navigating as well as Google Maps on a Sony XAV-AX8000. They definitely do select some different routes. Usually they are just minor differences, though.
We started with Garmin City Navigator North America, but I switched it to Open Street Maps Midwest a few minutes ago on the DriveSmart 65.
The Open Map Chest Maps are still displaying speed limits.
