I haven't tried it myself yet. If someone used it, please share your experience. The website is: https://tripwizard.rvlife.com/

Yes, RV LIFE (same company as CamproundReviews) has produced a "companion app" to RVTripWizard, which is a WEB-based planning tool...which is awesome. The iOS version was their first, followed by the Android version.

Their RVLife app, however, has a LOT of shortcomings when put up against a stand-alone RV GPS unit such as the Garmin 1095.

The list of negatives is extensive and far exceeds any positives; but here are a few of the major ones:

1. You must subscribe to the PRO version in order to get "offline" and RV GPS guidance.
2. The voice nav as good.
3. The trip-leg and routing is difficult for most to understand; you must select each/next leg, independenlly.
4. The mapping/POI/feature set is anemic...nearly void as compared to a GARMIN.
5. No "LIVE" services such as grades, traffic, weather, cross-wind, etc.
6. Operation through CarPlay is less than optimum and, in my experience and coach, becomes a bad distraction since it dominates the on-board radio system.

I could go on, but just know that I am a big support of the RV Trip Wizard system and was even asked to be on their tech team a couple years ago. I feel that there is ZERO competition for RVTW for planning your trips! However, the app...isn't something I can even tell people to "play with" at this stage.
