Oh, but the shear BLISS you’re missing by not enjoying the iOS environment!!

The IOS environment does not run two programs which are critical for me.

Thanks. BTW, any idea why RVTW doesn't offer their own app for Android that would be included with their subscription fee? I hate the thought of having to pay twice for two apps/programs for basically the subscription.

I would guess due to the development time involved. Instead of RVLife you could download to your GPS.

Many people are interested in the trip planning and not the navigation portion.

I'm new to this forum. Trying to start a new thread and can not find a place to do it. I can reply to any thread. Where can I post a new thread. I am trying to post a question "can you display just your membership and preferred Campground, and hide the other campgrounds"?

Sue46 · 04-18-2020, 01:10 PM

Go up one level(maybe more) and look under Forum Tools.

The answer is yes to your question providing RVTW has the campground affiliation you are interested in.

If you're using Firefox as a browser:

When you're reading a thread - at the top and the bottom of the thread you'll see a button labeled "Post Reply". If you go up a level from the thread, back to the page where ALL the threads are listed, that button changes to one labeled "New Thread".

To display parks by type - on the right-hand side of the map click on the "Research" tab. When that tab expands select the "Parks" tab. At the bottom of that tab you'll see an option labeled "BRANDS, CLUBS, AND MEMBERSHIP" - click on that and you'll see a list of options. Just select the ones you want and they will appear on the map when you activate the "Show/Hide Parks" button (looks like a tent) and the "Apply/Remove Filters" button (looks like a funnel).

Let me add to what Alan mentioned. Those are a subset of other type of campgrounds filtering that is offered. National Parks, COE, State Parks, BLM etc are also selectable under your name in default settings. There is overlap between the 2 locations.

A Slightly different problem. Running Chrome under win 10 Home on a Laptop. When I "edit" within a trip the edit field spills off the bottom of my screen and I cannot get to the "Accept" or "done" to save my edit. I finally moved my taskbar to the right edge of the screen to complete the task. Later I used "zoom" to reduce screen size to 90% to get it all on screen. I would think the scroll function would work. Have tried both mouse and touch screen to move the screen - nada.
As to ? about file not saved. I try to remember to log in every time I return to the program as it seems to log me off and NOT warn me that my work will not be saved unless I log back in :(
PS I love working with RVTW I'm currently planning a coast to coast run - safe haven to safe haven in a week.

Today a new release of RVTW was installed. The pop ups are not scroll-able. We are looking into a solution. For now you need to zoom out a bit. The shortcut keys are ctrl +/-. The popups are not movable.

I have not heard of trips not being saved. I never logoff, just close RVTW down and have never not had a trip saved. If you continue to see this would you please send in a ticket so it is official.

OK, there is a New update to RVT. Now I cant get into my saved trips. I reloaded in and still cant get to anything . for a supposed really good program this thing really Sucks

Press the "Open Trips" button.
Select "Active Trips"

Select your trip.

Also check "Tentative Trips" or "Archived Trips" to see if the trip is there.

All my trips are there on the new release.
You may have to scroll down if you have a lot of trips.

W5CI · 05-06-2020, 06:40 AM

I have no open trips button, only the try demo button, yes I am logged in.

As a heads up, I was not able to drag a route to avoid Atlanta. Instead of the routing RVTW choose going through Atlanta on I85 I wanted to avoid Atlanta and use US 441 on the east side. When using the drag feature RVTW kept routing me back on I85 even south of Athens. I finally closed RVTW, cleared my cache and restarted and it works fine.
