Plan to make memories with adventure-friendly RV series navigators from Garmin
RV 895/1095 navigators bring large displays, enhanced travel content and simplified arrival planning using high-resolution satellite imagery of RV parks and campgrounds
OLATHE, Kan./January 4, 2023/PR Newswire – Garmin(NYSE: GRMN) today announced the large, tablet-like 8 and 10-inch RV 895 and RV 1095 navigators, tailored to the RV and camping lifestyle. The series boasts a reimagined feature set to help RV drivers maneuver in larger vehicles, offering recommended routes based on the size and weight of their recreational vehicles or towable trailers. In addition to custom vehicle routing and preloaded traveler content, the navigators can simplify arrival with BirdsEye satellite imagery, which shows vivid aerial views for most addresses and locations, including campgrounds and RV parks. The new navigators incorporate a split-view map option that shows an active route on one side, with an overview of the remaining route and impending weather conditions1 on the other.
“We’re excited to offer our very best in navigation for camping enthusiasts,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales. “Find the best places to stop along your route, access real-time parking and shower availability at popular travel centers and enjoy vivid satellite map views upon arrival to easily see the best route for maneuvering your RV.”
Routing made easy
Recreational drivers can utilize custom routing2 based on the size and weight of their vehicle or trailer and drive with increased awareness of the road ahead with alerts for upcoming bridge heights, weight limits, sharp curves, school zones, steep grades and more.
