Screen type

Color screen navigation

CamperVan - Europe: 7 inches, large, bezel-less, and compact

The CamperVan has a large 7-inch screen size, which you mount on your dashboard or windshield. The screen has bright colors and your route is clearly visible, even in bright sunlight. This is especially nice when you go on holiday. In contrast to the 785, the screen of the CamperVan doesn't have an extra bezel. This makes it extra suitable for smaller vans or campers, because you can read the route without the system blocking your view on the road.

785 LMT-D - Europe: 7 inches, large, and robust

The 785 has the same screen size as the CamperVan, but has a more robust appearance. You mount it on your windshield and with the extra bezel, it takes up slightly more space than the CamperVan. This is because of the extra functions of the device. It's comfortable to hold when you're searching for your route thanks to the anti-slip finish on the back. In addition, the device has faster interface and a beautiful color screen, just like the other 2 models.

Dash cam

Back of the Garmin CamperVan

CamperVan - Europe: no dash cam

The CamperVan doesn't have a dash cam that records your drive. So you don't have recordings to give to the police or insurance companies as evidence after an accident. If you want this, you can purchase a dash cam separately.

Back of the Garmin 785

785 LMT-D - Europe: dash cam included

With the built-in dash cam, you can record details of your drive. The navigation system automatically stores the footage during an accident. Information like the location or time is stored, so you can view them again later.

Back of the Garmin 890

890 MT-S - World: no dash cam

This navigation system doesn't have a dash cam. So your drive information isn't stored. Choose the 785 if you prefer this or purchase a separate dash cam. That way, you'll be able to prove who damaged your car after an accident.

Traffic information

CamperVan - Europe: via smartphone

To stay up-to-date about the traffic situation, you can connect your CamperVan to the Garmin Drive App via your smartphone. Keep in mind that this might lead to extra data costs. Do you want to receive live traffic information? The 785 LMT-D is more suitable.

785 LMT-D - Europe: affordable and quickly via DAB+

In contrast to the other 2 Camper and Caravan models, you receive traffic information via DAB+ on this model thanks to the included receiver. With Garmin Live Traffic via DAB+, you're always up-to-date about the actual traffic situation on highways and in the city center while on the go. Thanks to this, you can stay away from traffic and are always offered the shortest route. You can also choose for traffic information via your smartphone. This does cost extra data, while DAB+ is entirely free.

890 MT-S - World: via smartphone

This model doesn't have a DAB+ receiver like the 785. With the 890 MT-S, you also receive traffic information on your smartphone via the Garmin Drive App. You connect the smartphone to your camper navigation via Bluetooth. That way, you're always up-to-date about traffic and the current and future weather conditions.

Conclusion

Which system is suitable for you depends on your vehicle and your destination. The compact CamperVan is especially suitable if you travel Europe with a van without a trailer. The 785 has a dash cam, receives live traffic information via DAB+, and is suitable for both campers and caravans, just like the 890. Do you want to travel outside of Europe and do you prefer to read the route and points of interest from an extra large screen? The 890 is the ideal travel guide for you.
