I use the Garmin 1490, and like it a lot. It has a bigger screen than most. I must have bought 10 or so Garmins.
With any GPS, you have to watch the routing that the GPS recommends. Sometime they take you where you want to go. GPSs are GREAT when you get close to your address.
There are GPSs that give you height warnings. This is important if you 5th wheel is cloise to 14 feet.

Garmin has a Nuvi for truckers that lets you input your vehicle size including height. It then routes you around bridges too low or where you would exceed the weight limit.
I don't have one, but the next one I get will be the Garmin Nuvi 465T

I have the Rand McNally 7710 and highly recommend it. It has never failed me.
