RV LIFE - RV GPS & Campgrounds for Positive User Reviews

✓ Learning Experience - A Cautionary TaleAfter four years of safe RV travel to 47 of the lower 48 states and 5 Canadian Provences using Google Maps we finally had a problem with ‘Low Clearance’. In navigating the New England States we found ourselves traveling south on I-95 from CT to New Jersey. I picked the fastest route that Google suggested and found ourselves on the Hutchison Parkway in New Rochelle, NY with a 10’6” trailer and one 9’6” underpass after another. 30 minutes later we joined the big truck parade through NYC. Which leaves to Part 2 of this tale. I checked around at various truck/rv routing apps and decided that the GPS function in RV Life was easy to use and already on my phone, and better yet worked with CarPlay. Just to try it out I searched for ‘Whole Foods Market on N.Pottstown Rd’. The search provided an option which we followed down a variety of narrow, but “RV Safe” roads to an empty field. Lesson learned. Unlike Google Maps this GPS doesn’t have any idea about things like grocery stores. It had taken us to ‘N.Pottstown Rd.” But nowhere near the WF’s. I suppose of I had used a street address I may of had better results..Kenjohn10234894Version: 4.0.2

✓ A software company that actually understands the needs of travelers who use their product. Nice!I recently downloaded “RV Life”, and fell in love with it! It works perfectly with their Trip Wizard web based software. The app uses the GPS function on the phone for step by step directions that you mapped out on the web platform. My use of the app goes beyond planning trips for just my motorhome. I’ve planned trips for my motorhome, car and also my motorcycle. Finally, I can create a trip on my laptop or iPad and then follow it on my phone while on the road..MinerdVersion: 2.6.9

✓ Great trip planning app and decent GPS routes.Overall a great app for trip planning and campground reviews. Would like to see some sort of incentive for giving good reviews other than helping out other travelers. The RV Maintenance portion part of the subscription should be in the app instead of online only, plus have option to select similar rig templates for preventative maintenance item to load and modify as needed instead of starting from scratch. This is why I tell others to find a different method for maintenance tracking..Brett RupVersion: 3.5.2

✓ Love the program/appI’ve been using this as a stand-alone program since the earlier version called RV Trip Wizard. I love that it safely routes us, avoiding low overpasses and allows us the choice to avoid toll roads, etc, if we want. The newer version makes things SUPER easy since Campground Reviews are now integrated into the program. That allows me to search out the best rated CGs AND go directly to their website and reserve. What a bonus as compared to using two different computers/tablets/phones to search, reserve on one platform and then add them in as a stop on the program. Now it is seamless. It isn’t free and that will turn some folks off but for me the cost is negligible and the ease of use makes it a good value to me..RpbvanwaVersion: 2.7.9

✓ A tremendous time saverWe started planning our National park trip last fall. My usual method was to determine how far we could travel and then search for a suitable campsite. Then I found Trip wizard, what a blessing. It made it so much easier to plan a route and find campgrounds that would work. We then use a hard copy of our itinerary as reference as we make our way from park to park. What a time saver. Just downloaded the GPS program. Can’t wait to see how it will make our travels less stressful.Af24jVersion: 3.2.10

✓ Great RV App that helps your plan out your tripsWe got this app to help plan an 8 day trip across three different campgrounds and a 2000 mile distance. We did a lot of research, used the 14 day trial and decided to purchase the yearly subscription for the app. It’s very detailed, very focused on the places RVers look for most. They very Good Sam and KOI integrated but still plenty of private campgrounds and POIs on their map. I know where I’m going to stop for gas, to rest, to camp and how many miles per day I’m driving. Love this app and highly recommend it. What can be better? Adding the ability for apple/android car play: The app has a built in map that can be exported to google, however the app will download the whole route for offline use if needed. Not sure if google maps will do that. Still testing. Timing: The app tells you how many miles till your next stop, but adding in a departure time will help estimate arrival times at each waypoint. Would love to see this feature..MuddaubereVersion: 2.7.11

✓ GPS is scary and frustratingI use this app often for tracking and planning, it’s great for that. It is also my go to GPS bc I trust that it is truly providing RV safe directions. However, the GPS is slow to keep updated and often the map is not correctly matched to the road I am on causing incorrect turns, late turn notices and altogether sending me in the opposite direction that I intend to be traveling. And it is incredibly frustrating that N/S/E/W are not indicated. In these scenarios I can’t be sure that I end up on RV safe roads when I am misguided..JManalacVersion: 3.5.10

✓ Like the app except for no Sani Dump locationsSo far I have found the app very easy to use as the list of campsites in Canada very comprehensive (travelling from Ottawa to the Yukon) . Had to purchase another app to find the RV dumping facilities however and the mapping charge to upgrade the membership is excessive for the value..B̥ͦo̥ͦb̥ͦb̥ͦy̥ͦVersion: 2.0.8

✓ Good app but GPS needs workPlanning for a cross country trip, this app was a great help. We are FT RVers and really wanted this app for the RV friendly gps. I lowered it one star due to the navigation piece. As someone else mentioned it doesn’t work well with Car Play. You only see the route in the upper portion of the navigation screen & couldn’t see what was coming up. We had to go back to google maps, after paying for a year subscription. Please fix this issue or we will not be renewing our subscription..Amaising1Version: 3.0.7

✓ Pretty goodSo e we pull a big 35’ 5th wheel. There were still some road choices that scared the crap out of us! Man, I’d like to have an adventure setting for road choices. Such as highway 49 to Coloma, CA with a 13% slope and switch back... that’s a pass for us! But the notes section in the saved trip wizard app, I can’t add a note nor do the notes added on the safari Wizard show up. What is the “notes” for? I mean the next button for driving directions works but the notes seems useless. I have to go to safari and log in to the site like I’m going to keep working on my trip. I’d like to see my confirmation #, site #, hook ups or not, like get water before backing into the site cuz there are no utilities... Anyway, after a long 6 week tour and 21 stops, there are a few tweaks I’d like to see for the notes and navigation. Another thought on navigation, tell me WHY a specific route is in yellow and more details. A route we wanted but showed yellow was completely fine! It was a nice big tunnel that even 18 wheelers use. But the Wizard just wouldn’t tell me what tunnel or more details. Still love the Trip Wizard, just looking for more details..HezBooVersion: 2.8.2

✓ Great planning tool, not much help when travelingWe continue to enjoy this App for planning trips. Often that is where it ends for us. Example from today. Before we left home we printed out on paper the Turn by Turn Directions and put them in a folder. This morning it took 20 minutes to find the address of the next park we are traveling too. Trying to put it in the dash gps. Why don’t you print the next location address at the breaks of the Turn by Turn information? Also, the GPS in this software is very poor. Example, we were in Florida traveling to the Midwest. Almost no matter what, we avoid Georgia, specifically Atlanta. The trip from Chattanooga to Atlanta for an RV should be avoided. Have to use multiple way points to get it to work. Wish someone was actually working on improving this thing…. Don’t get me started on actually moving the file over to the GPS….. Press On….

✓ Facile à utiliserJe commence a l’utiliser et j’aime beaucoup de voir toutes les informations auxquelles nous avons accès.SevsevmanmanVersion: 3.2.10

✓ Planner is great. GPS 4.0 is good but needs work stillWe are full-time RVers going strong for 1 year and have used this app for trip planning. We depend on this app 100% and even use the RV Safe GPS. Yes, the estimated eta is conservative and we always arrive at our destination earlier than the estimate compared to Waze, Apple, and Google estimates, but I think that’s because most safe RVers drive slower than the marked speed limit. There are settings for entering your max speed on the highways which you can experiment with. My only negatives are very minor with the GPS. In the older versions of the app, we only had one incident where we were directed down a back road that was was one way and narrow with tight turns where an adjacent main road would have been desired. Also, the new 4.0 version map display seems to have issues. I’ve had to kill the app and restart it to reset the map and remove splotches of graphical objects. In addition, the CarPlay map seems to be zoomed way in and I’d like to be able to zoom it out a bit. Overall, I love the app and will continue to use it. GPS part just needs some work still. I’m an app developer and sometimes wonder why they don’t just tap into the Waze or Google map API. I would especially appreciate the turn by turn voice from one of their engines rather than the robotic sounding one..Slowe865Version: 4.0.0

✓ Love the app but it needsWe use this app to navigate us in our 5th wheel between destinations. It would be extremely helpful if it would be compatible and play up on our CarPlay screen like google maps and Waze does because it doesn’t and we have to try to balance the phone while we follow the gps which is kinda old school. We use the RV trip wizard that ties into this app to plan our routes and stops but wish it wasn’t only a desktop site, it would be nice if it was a mobile app at least. We love the app for finding Site and campgrounds too. The reviews of people are extremely helpful. We love the app but the few changes we think it should make..BeckyasuVersion: 2.7.11

✓ Sprout lakeProvincial park. Easy hiking, swimming, boating, showers. Great attendants very helpful they know the area. Stayed in June. Rained often. Liked every minute. Visited again in Early September dry & warm.IdriderVersion: 1.6.0

✓ Rv TravelBest app ever for RV travel. Easy to use, easy to modify. Wouldn’t travel without it..64C10LS36.2Version: 4.0.3

✓ Great App with continuing improvementsThis is a great app and the developers are doing their best to include new features and updates. It appears that this version works with Apple Carplay as it showed up in my Ram snd Mercedes Sprinter CarPlay. Love RV trip wizard as a planning tool then being able to access these via the GPS that takes in to account weight, height, etc for safe routing. I also like the inclusion of Blue Beacon Truck washes. It appears any crashes I did have with my iPhone 12 Pro are being resolve. Quick response from developer on any problems.Vsmith1814Version: 3.0.8

✓ Awesome app for travelingThis is a really great app for traveling. The map is great and it gives you all of the campsites on your route. POIs gas stations in Moore along your route you also have the rig and truck information entered in so that I can tell you when you are going to be close to needing gas also reroute you around areas that your RV will not be able to safely make it through. We have tested it against Apple Maps Real time and it always finds a better route. We are loving it..TwotreesesVersion: 3.4.4
