Simply plug your device into any outlet, and, as it charges, let your device update over Wi-Fi .

Have used this GPS for almost a year now. Originally got for an new RV and long cross country summer trip (over 9000 miles) last year. So much better than in vehicle system for ease of use and portability when traveling and using rental cars too.
Note: I prefer a separate portable system when driving as it announces from a separate speaker and doesn't cut out the radio system playing a groovy toon or someone talking on a radio show just to announce an upcoming direction change from a single speaker system. A HUGE pet peeve of mine, particularly in and around cities where every few blocks something gets articulated by Ms. GPS. 2) Uses its' own battery/power supply and doesn't drain your phone. 3) Keeps the gov't and 5.0 (cops) off your case as it isn't considered a hand-held device for ticketing revenue generation.
Although an RV unit, it is great if you have a larger tricked out truck or SUV like me with a roof-top tent. My SUV is 8'3" for clearance and you can set up individual vehicle profiles. Also handy if you tow boats, trailers, etc as you can set the overall vehicle length and height clearance parameters.
Saving locations is great and easy to do. Plenty of characters to give meaningful names to locations. (other units are character limited from my experiences).
As for "suction mounts" never use them, because they always fail and give way, usually at the most inopportune time too. Not conducive to extreme winter cold, summer desert heat, or perpetual sun exposure. Always use a fixed or portable dash mount system like in the attached picture. This type stays put and has never slipped even in slammed on hard braking to avoid a deer or other "head in the sand" inconsiderate drivers moves.

We have already used it for two small trips with NO errors!! LOVE all the extra info you get on this!!
As to reviews that are posting it has problems - we haven't had any issues - BUT, we followed the instructions to the letter - Charge First (yes, you want to play with it as soon as you get it, but resist the urge!). After FULLY charged, open your Garmin account on your computer (or load the Express account if you are new to Garmin) THEN plug in the Garmin - let the device power itself on AFTER it's plugged into the usb. It will first give a message that you MUST click YES to - THEN it will go through the steps, connect, update and load - Just follow the prompts. The only reason we knew to follow this order was our last Garmin kept having issues new out of the box until we called Garmin, they advised to always follow this procedure with each new Garmin - it works!
We've only had it a few weeks, but are totally satisfied - worth every penny! We plan on taking several road trips this year - the RV770 will give new meaning to "pleasant road trip"!! If you are a road traveler ... Buy it - you'll love it!!
Things we like:
You get lots of notice about impending exits, so you know what lane you need to be in. A lot of mapping programs, including Google, aren't great about that, which is a problem if you are as long as a semi truck and not terrible nimble.
It doesn't badger on about "recalculating" if you do something it doesn't like.
The low clearance warnings have been pretty good. There was one on a state highway in Oregon that we'd already heard was "set" too low by almost everyone, that the 11' 9" reported was actually at the side of an arched tunnel and not anything you have to worry about if you're not hugging the wall. The Garmin also got a little hysterical that we were planning to take that tunnel, but it was just fine. Otherwise, however, it's great to be able to see that, yes, we could take this exit, but if we try to actually GO anywhere from it, we're going to run into low clearances.
The "search RV parks near me" feature is handy. Okay, if I want to make it to Podunk today, I have to put "Podunk" in as the city (see below), but, having done that, it's really easy to see a list of places I might be able to find a place to park. When plans were derailed one day by a flat tire, this was one convenient feature in an otherwise nerve-wracking day, letting me click on the possibilities and easily find a phone number to call to secure a spot for an unexpected night.
Things we don't especially love
Our unit reboots itself sporadically. It happens without notice and always seems to be at a time when we really wish it was available. No idea what's going on there, suspect an overheating issue.
It is SUPER conservative with routing. It will take you two hours up an interstate and two hours back down just so you can make a right turn off the exit rather than a left turn... just crazy stuff. That's why it is IMPERATIVE you double-check routes with other methods, so you can see what it "thinks" is too risky to try. Sometimes, it may be right but that's four hours of your life you'd be losing, so, really, double check.
We did buy a "beanbag" mount for the dash and really like the flexibility of moving it around rather than using adhesive to permanently mount the unit.
As has been the case since the beginning of time, entering an address into this unit (and many GPS, including ones build into cars), is not very intuitive. You have to first set the town and then either search near it or enter an address in that town. For decades, maybe centuries, humans have been used to inputting house number, then street, then city, then state... why do GPS units make you do it in reverse order?
Other things to consider:
The link to a smartphone is... not especially useful. At least for us.
There are some subscription services you can purchase. One is severe weather warnings, for $4.99 and that's a lifetime purchase, as near as I can tell. My husband thought this was unnecessary, I thought one more device looking out for us sounded like a good idea.
Top reviews from other countries
The new unit that I have just purchased is the same easy to use, accurate, high quality product but with some welcome new and upgraded.features.
I very much like the ability to plan trips on my computer using the Garmin "Basecamp" software and then download them to the GPS unit.
Well built, and user friendly,I add many GPS,over the years and this one is the best one so far ,
Would definitely,buy again
