Will this model warn or advise about an upcoming climb or decent? The trucking versions give you a heads up when there is a steep grade coming up.

I don't know about the grades since it didn't warn me about the grade from Yellowstone lake to Cody. Very steep but there was not alternatives. Also if you input your RV weight and length, it will keep you on the Large Truck routes.

Yes, it does on decent. Not sure why it does not on climb. We have used it from Maine to Alaska, we are no on our way back. We have loved this GPS, it has so many features. We still are finding out new things about it. CJ

Yes - the RV 760LMT does warn of Steep climbs and dscents. - IN fact as far as I can tell the RV 760LMT is the same GPS as the Truck 760 except for a different " POI" factory installed database for RVs instead of Trucks.

Yes it does, but I don't remember at what % it starts to warn you. We crossed the Rockies this summer and it was very helpful.

We haven't really traveled yet in a hilly area. It will warn of sharp turns though.

It does give warnings before curves, hills and speed limit changes and you can configure how far before those items the machine will issue a warning. I have to say that the speaker in the unit is not very good and I have a difficult time understanding the instructions it does give.

Yes, it has "slope" data that shows steepness of current path (positive indicates uphill,negative indicates downhill). Here is the link of the user manual where he could check all the features of the device http://assets.timex.com/user_guides/W280_CycleTrainer/W280_CycleTrainer_NA_EN.pdf PS Im very happy with it, it works very well

It will definitely give you an early warning if your tire is getting low. I lost 10psi overnight and wouldn't have known it without the tyre dog. I would have gone to work the next day non the smarter and probably came out to a flat. The flat sensor in my car hadn't came on yet. So yes this could benefit as an early warning.

Thanks for the info. I just purchased it and look forward to installing it on my truck.

I have this model and I am a truck driver. It will get you in a big bind if you rely on it for routing. It does not have the capability for entering truck dimensions along with hazmat most importantly truck legal roads. It isn't marketed as one. I also have the co-pilot truck, it is by far better. I just picked up the new Rand McNally tnd 730, awaiting it's first trip out Sunday, Chicago.. It has some very nice truck friendly features, especially what stops are at exits and amenities.. traffic is an extra $20.00 per year, I figured that it was about equal to the amount of advil that I would need otherwise.

i bought it for a gift. but they love it and it does climb hills. you may want to get the next up model for s.f hills tho.

I've noticed that they don't make you go faster but you do feel a bit of acceleration when you lean it over. If you're on a nice gentle slope you will maintain speed but as far as gaining speed I don't feel like they add any. They are great carving trucks though, very smooth and with a nice flexible board you get a great surfey feeling.

My 800 # atv with me on it ( 1000# total) goes up with no problem. They are steep so it would be hard to push something up by hand.

I've had mine for about 5 months and it has been very helpful in avoiding traffic jams. Suggests different routes and tells you when traffic is flowing again. I like it very much so far.

another answer to your question. great buy. if you climb into the bed of the truck for anything, you will love it.

Do either of these units have a useful elevation feature. We drive in mountains often and like knowing current altitude (elevation). Thank you

The Plus have built in Altimeter and thermometer capabilities. This way you can track climbing information ( degree of inclination, total elevation, etc). Also it can connect to ant devices on top of blutooth connection

You seem to be doing pretty good so far. And remember you will want to position your trailer so it is even when towing. Thank you

Yes it has several option where you will get an audible alarm. Deep stop ascent speed are two

Yes it will but it is incredibly slow. It's so slow that it actually takes a couple of seconds of watching it to tell if it's going up or down. I can probably raise/lower my trailer at least 3-4x faster manually!
