Considering a dashcam & RV specific GPS.(Seperate units) Any thoughts/opinions/suggestions/recommendations greatly appreciated
Be a careful driver...the GPS versions also usually log your speed . That can be used against you.BruceinFL said:Whatever you do, get a dashcam with a built-in gps. If you ever need it for proof of an occurrence, the dash cam's video will have a record of the position it occurred. A dedicated gps unit with a bulit-in dashcam should do the same.
If you are going to install a dash cam you darn well better be a careful driver. You are always on TV.bobsharon said:Be a careful driver...the GPS versions also usually log your speed . That can be used against you.
I've known a lot of very careful drivers that "were just staying with traffic" or speeding to use the correct word. 8)SeilerBird said:If you are going to install a dash cam you darn well better be a careful driver. You are always on TV.
Then I don't think they are very careful. Speeding is dangerous no matter what excuse you use.bobsharon said:I've known a lot of very careful drivers that "were just staying with traffic" or speeding to use the correct word. 8)

That's pretty sharp. I didn't see where it shows things like overpass heights though. I wonder how specifically RV friendly it is.THEBigLarry said:Garmin now makes a Drive Assist unit that is a GPS/Dashcam combination.
It is portable i.e. can be moved from vehicle to vehicle, and removed from sight
when vehicle is parked. Kind of pricey, but it is not a bad option. I am likely going
to get one this summer.
