Thx for Adding Me and Question...

My wife and I sold our house in the Austin, TX area the summer of 2021, bought a 2021 Keystone Arcadia 370RL and have been full-timers for a year and love it! We have moved north just outside of Ft Worth, TX to live where our daughters and families live...most importantly 5 of our 6 littles.

We have planned our first big road trip and leave Tuesday morning, Sept 6 for South Dakota. I planned the trip in RV Life Trip Wizard with stop over camps and fuel stops for the entire trip. I have exported the trip and imported the .gpx file into Google Maps in the "My Maps" section. It brought over all the waypoints correctly but I can't get it to do a turn by turn navigation. Is it possible or is it just a copy of what I planned? I also have the app and downloaded the offline version. Am I suppose to be able to get turn by turn nav from the app?

Thx in advance for any help! Looking forward to learning and contributing.

Terry

Welcome!

Google maps will display your waypoints but it will not use the routes you selected in RV Trip Wizard.

Download the free RV Life app and sign in using your RV Trip wizard credentials then all the trips you have planned will be in the app. Select the trip and then you can get the RV safe directions for any leg of that trip you select. The inter face is not as nice as Google maps but it is certainly useable. And RV safe. If you have Car Play it will even display on your car/trucks display.

If you add the driving direction layer in My Maps you will get driving directions. However you will need to enter each stop individually and My Maps will route you to each stop using Google's routing algorithm. It will not be an RV safe route.

Thank you! I’ll look at adding layers in Google Maps but I am pretty happy with the RV Life app navigation so far.
