What customers say
The Garmin RV 890 earns praise mainly for its large, clear 8-inch display and excellent custom RV routing, which effectively avoids hazards like low bridges. Integration with backup cameras and audio systems is highly valued, making it a central cockpit device. While hardware quality feels robust, the premium price causes some users to question the overall value against cheaper alternatives. A few users note occasional software hiccups or slightly illogical routes in complex urban settings. Ultimately, it is seen as an essential, specialized tool for serious RVers prioritizing screen size and dedicated navigation features, despite the high initial cost.
