Trip stops vanish, I've lost confidence in RVTW.

We are on a 6 Month trip using the RVTW for all planning now. -Bill



PS. Cannot wait till they make stops editable!! Deleting and recreating each time something needs changing is its only major core functionality issue right now. (to me)

A couple things to add here:

1. Not sure how many of you practice this technique, but I do it for many “computer” tasks; whether editing photos, videos, or creating documents. I will almost always create a “backup” copy once I get going. The rule of thumb of “how soon/often to back” is to create a backup every time you’ve got a document that you’d spend too much time recreating.

2. Regarding “Editable Stops”? Not sure what you mean by “editable”. Maybe you can clarify more. But in the meantime, you do know you can RE-ORDER your stops, right? So, this allows you to add a stop IN PLACE OF the stop you want to “edit” and then delete the unwanted stop(s). You can also DELETE MULTIPLE stops at one time. These functions are all available in the Trip Panel under the little WRENCH icon.

This is what I am talking about. Basically the core functionality has a big kludge we all have to deal with. Editing a stop is the way the app should work. Thankfully, They are working on it.
