Newbie question

[MSHappyCampers]

I'm trying to learn how to use TW. I created a "learner" trip. The last leg of the trip shows on the map as a dull red instead of the purple like the previous legs. What does this mean?

UPDATE- The last part of that leg had me routed on a road that looked like a pig trail. I used the drag feature to move back to a known good road and the color changed to the purple like the rest of the trip. I thought the program considered the suitability of the route for my MH??

Well, I closed the program and when I went back into it the last leg is showing reddish again!

Reddish means that is the leg of the trip you have highlighted on the List of Stops.


Here are some videos that will help. We have additional videos.

What about it routing me on a pig trail?

Joe, sometimes like any mapping program you get results that are ... ahem confusing. You might check your avoidances and try again. I've found that sometimes using the avoid tolls feature will reroute you in ways that seem confusing.

There is a slight learning curve to using RVTW but stick with it, there is no better alternative.

Thanks Tim! I'll keep working at it!
