D&J Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Has anyone ever used it because it appears that it only works on a desktop which we don't have or ever plan on having again. We have smart phones, Android tablets and a Chromebook laptop, I'm guessing it needs Windows to work. Has Escapees become that disconnected from RVers that actually travel in their units for extended periods or fulltime?

SWharton Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 The Mapping doesn't work on a laptop either. I have tried on and off for several months and nothing works. I was hoping it would replace my Streets And Trips but guess not. I have now bought RVtripwizard and will test that for a year...............

bockofma Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Good afternoon, Denny. It does work on my laptop...Windows OS. However the mapping URL states, "Limited functionality on mobile devices, desktop preferred." Perhaps the OS is the criterion.

57becky Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 I find the Good Sam mapping feature works pretty good, and use it quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D&J Posted March 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 I guess we should be going down the road with a desktop in the cab of the truck . Like I said the escapees organization has become disconnected from the RVers that pay the fees to support them. This is one long time member that may not be a member this time next year. PA has a petty good mapping function and it works on a smart phone.

Denny Someone didn't think this one out. Why even offer a mapping program that isn't functional across platforms anymore. Better off not to offer something, than to offer it only to a few.

RV_ Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 I don't know about iOS but we have mapping on our Android phones that is pretty good. There are a number of trip planning software available beyond the Delorme Street atlas and GPS module of 1997-2003 when we were on the road. Here are some I dug up just now, but never tried: 1. https://www.tripit.com/destinations/free-route-planning-software/ 2. http://www.roadtripamerica.com/travelplanning/userguidefree.htm 3. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/cOnTheRoad-p1.html 4. http://tripmaker.randmcnally.com/ 5. http://www.roadtripamerica.com/maps/maps.htm 6. https://www.rvtripwizard.com/ 7. http://www.rv-info.net/rvmapping.html 8. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teletype.smartrvroute 9.

noteven Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 I use that newfangled goggle maps. Are they stealing my information? "Are we there yet?" asked no motorcycle rider, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
