SmartRVRoute Reviews

Says it's free, but doesn't let you use the GPS without paying.

Buttons do not work on IPAD. Called company to request refund. They acknowledged issue and provided a three day extension on subscription, promising to resolve the issue in three days. It has now been a week; problem has not been resolved.
They have my money for an application that doesn't work on my IPAD.

Inoperative on iOS 14 and over 60 fb of free memory! Unusable and a waste of time!

Would have been nice to know I needed a subscription before I downloaded it.

SmartRVRoute is awful! Nothing intuitive about how to simply lug your destination from the beginning! WASTE!

Wrong mileage and no way to contact someone! Send emails, nothing! My experience I was ripped off!

Junk, don't do it, it set me on a route that was NOT safe for my family in our RV. This is absolutely why we were looking for a navigational app to begin with. Irritated...

Installed, started and closed. Tried twice, even changed the privacy settings. Did not work. I have a current iPhone and OS. Quickest install to delete for me so far. Oh well, the truck version did not have good reviews.

Gave us bad directions. We were heading down the Pennsylvania Turnpike and were told to “make a right”, which wasn’t an exit but the access road! Which of course was gated closed so couldn’t use it even if we wanted to. We went 30 minutes further out of our way to get to our destination.

SmartRVRoute wanted to take me hours out of my way to avoid parkways as compared to planning the trip manually which also avoided parkways. Also routed me through the woods and over a lake.
Worse yet, I spent all day (less than 24 hours from purchase) to get a refund and, in the end, they responded “call Apple”
I guess I lose my $9.99. So glad I didn’t purchase a bigger subscription.
Don’t waste your time. I would have been better off with a paper map.

I would NOT recommend SmartRVRoute. I got it because we were heading cross country from Lake Ozark to Tupelo, MS. It seemed to work OK to Memphis although I missed a gas stop due to a road name change that had not been made. I also could not find a location for the RV Park, it was in the listing but did not seem to know where it was. The worst part was going through Memphis where it led us onto surface streets in not great condition and traffic lights rather than four lane limited access routes. NOT RV FRIENDLY!!!

After entering vehicle info it took us on a route with 5 miles of DIRT road. Waited for 15 minutes for pilot car to lead us 2 miles an hour. No place to turn around to avoid it!! Why charge $50 if you can't give updated road conditions??? Piece of crap!!!

I do not see anywhere that gives a price. I know you can get this for seven days, three months, or a year. Please someone tell me what are the prices

It looks like a great app. I’m very disappointed that I didn’t get to use it because as soon as I asked it to ‘plan route’ it asked me to subscribe. $9.99/7 days, $29.99/? mths or $49.99 yrly.

We have test run this but at some points very confusing. Following the map portion is okay but when you go to the written instructions to look ahead the prior instructions are still there so you have to search the list to your current location. I wish once you have passed locations they would drop off like they do when you use Google Maps.

Still commercial truck centered. Limited RV park info and listings, most parks don't display on map. Not sure it's worth $50 a year to be warned of a steep hill.

Have used SmartRVRoute for trips across 10 states so far and with one exception, it gave us the best routing for our RV. Verbal and other audio alerts are helpful as is the ability to customize what the map shows and what alerts are received, e.g., truck stops by name and distance. The one exception for good routing took us through a dense urban area for about a mile- there was significant road construction everywhere so that may have been the reason. Overall, very satisfied and renewed the subscription.

We purchased this when RAnd McNally did away with their RV GPS app. Was very unsure of it with the reviews I read but decided to try it. We LOVE it! We have been traveling for 3 months using it each travel day and it has been wonderful. It is a very good tool for any size RV. You put all of your RV specs into the settings (i.e. Height, weight, length) and it routes according to the best route for your rig. You can choose, most highway, RV quickest, or RV fastest. You can't go wrong with his app.

This apis great

My wife and I have been full-time since May 2014. We were not initially aware of SmartRoute; I do not recall exactly when we found it, probably something my wife came across. For us it has saved us a number of times from routes from Google that have vertical clearance issues, weather closures in three round trips from Albany, Oregon to Raleigh, North Carolina with excursions to sightsee or visit family/friends in both directions. It has never failed to get us to/from an Interstate and an RV park without incident or clear routing through a urban area involving multiple interchanges beltways or other interstate highways.
