Mobile App - Getting Started

Welcome!

The Roadtrippers mobile app lets you take the Roadtrippers experience with you on the road. Let us ride shotgun and be your road trip companion as you head out on the open road. Before you set off, let's get you familiar with what the Roadtrippers app can do.

iOS App Android App

Note that the sections reviewed below are all accessible from the bottom navigation bar in the app.

Explore

After logging in, you'll land on the Explore page. This is your starting point for planning a new trip, continuing your most recent trip, or starting navigation. You can also tap on a Category to discover nearby places, or scroll down to browse Extraordinary Places we recommend checking out!

On the Explore page, you’ll see the trip you most recently viewed or edited. To open it and keep planning—or to start navigation to one of its waypoints—just tap on the trip!

Looking for a different trip? Tap "See all my trips" in the upper left corner.

Scroll down a bit and you’ll see Categories. Tap on any category to see related places appear on the map! If you'd like to view places near your current location, be sure the Roadtrippers app has permission to access your location. Pull the category buttons left to see even more category options!

To build a new trip, tap Start New Trip. If you're a Premium member, you can use our Autopilot planning tool, which creates a base trip for you using suggestions tailored to your preferences. If you’d rather plan your trip manually - or you're not a Premium member - just select “I’d like to plan it myself” after tapping 'Start Trip.'

If you're a Pro or Premium member, you can use Navigate to launch GPS without building a trip. Just enter a starting point and destination - no need to build a full trip first. Premium members can also enable RV-safe routing during navigation.


Map

You can zoom in/out and move the map around on this section to find places near you, in another area, or along a trip's route. Notice the Categories buttons at the top of the map. Scroll left and right to see more categories, and tap one to apply it to the map. Type a name in the search bar if you're looking for somewhere specific, or just tap in the search bar to see some of our favorite recommendations.

  • Tap the map icon to change the map style or apply map overlays to the map.
  • Tap the dark blue arrows icon to start a navigation session.
  • Tap the blue + icon to start a new trip from this page.
