Have the opportunity of picking one of these 760 campers up cheap (new) as I have a motorhome it would in theory be useful. But lots of complaints about the 760 camper regards it missrouting down inappropriate roads, and unit not telling you till you are on them!?!? anyone have an opinion please as not looking such a bargain!

this thread has put me right of but need to make a decision today:

We bought one of these units from Aldi while they had them on offer at £199.99, our local store still has one on the shelf!
Bought to replace a TomTom, running the Camper Map that was out of date.
Have used it a few times now in our MH and have found it generally good. The big screen is a boon and the volume far superior to the Tomtom, traffic indication is useful as well.
Is one better than the other, they both have for's and against's. Both do the job but come with inevitable little irritations that make you say why dont they do this or that the other does, applies Tomtom/760 and 760/Tomtom.

Will the 760 take you down inappropriate roads. It will try and avoid roads based on the criteria you input for your unit but that is not always possible, and some routes will have roads that do not have mapping data advising full suitability. When this happens the 760 displays a warning that Suitability data is not available. Give you the choice to continue or do the sensible thing and stop and consider.

Bottom line is that no unit will be 100% accurate all the time and the driver must take responsibility for their own choices and actions in taking a route, check via a good paper map, use their eyes to check for road signs and guage for themselves what a road looks like and what is likely to be ahead.
Within these constraints the 760 will be a good unit for the job, not perfect - none are.

Thanks! Very Happy but I have decided to leave it as there are to many negative reports all over the place regards its routing....
