I guess the same could be done for Civil War Battlefields or Rotary Clubs. Thanks in advance.

To my understanding, there is not presently a means to add custom POI's to the list already resident in RVTW.

There is not, beyond going to you Default or Trip Settings and choosing between the Classis or Advanced Radius, or just turning the Driving Radius function on or off altogether.

Why can't something as simple as adding a start time to a trip be added, then all the stops for that day are based off that start time. New day equals a new start time with that days stops calculated from that time. S&T had that basic function that was helpful in quickly showing the time of arrival vs having to manually calculate the time by adding all the stops together.

Last year after the upgrades I tried to use my trip off line with GPS but each time I went to access trip wizzard to get to my trip it wanted me to log in and I didn’t have access. Was I doing doing wrong or are the improvements coming?

Use the RV Life app on your phone for GPS directions. No need to try to pull up trip wizard, as it is just for planning purposes.

I too think this would be great.I do it with Excel but it would be nice to have it come over to my Calendar ( I do export the trip calendar ) with times. As it is, it is very difficult to read the trip on my Calendar since everything overlaps.

Sorry confused. I want to navigate to the sites and the route I had during trip planning. When I pull up rvlife in the middle of a trip (let’s say 3rd stop) how do I get to the existing trip so it knows the route and waypoints. If I go to GPS it want a destination but I want to use the router from trip planning.

I think the best thing you can do for yourself is turn ALL of your filters off, in both your Default and Trip Settings. Also, make sure that you've turned off any and all CG Affiliations. Have a clean slate re: filters, and then enable "Show Campgrounds" and zoom in to your target area to see if potential CG's are identified. If that doesn't work, send an inquiry into the Help Desk.
