I am new to the RV Trip Wizard.

I have created a 30 stop trip up to Alaska, and tried to import it into my Goodsam Rand McNally RV7735 GPS. It says it imported 30 stops, but I only get the starting point. None of the other stops show up anywhere that I can find. The starting point shows up under custom POI's but that is it.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Ken

Here is the most commonly ascribed method for the Rand McNally GPS.

1) Export your trip as a CSV file (Send to GPS from the Trip menu wrench icon).
2) Go to your File Explorer (My Computer or just Computer) and find your CSV file. The default location should be your Downloads folder.
3) Right click the file and choose Copy.
4) Locate your Rand McNally device in the File Explorer / My Computer.
5) Open up the device by double-clicking.
6) Locate the RM folder and double-click to open.
7) Locate the ImportTrip folder. If for some reason there is not a folder with this name, create it. There is no space in the folder name, just "ImportTrip".
8) Open this folder by double-clicking.
9) Right click into the empty folder area and choose Paste, your CSV file should now be in the RM\ImportTrip folder.
10) Now go back and highlight Rand McNally device in File Explorer / My Computer and right click and choose EJECT.
11) Disconnect when you see the message that says it's safe to do so.
12) Your Rand McNally GPS will restart, if not, power it off and back on again.
13) You will see a custom POI ready for import.
14)) Say yes or follow instructions for importing.

I received a response from Tripwizard that works perfectly. Pbucha, everything in your narrative is perfect except number 13. It actually imports as a "multi-stop trip".

Thank you for your reply.
