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.
The bottom navigation bar gives you quick access to five sections: Home, Map, My
Trips, Guides, and Profile.
Home
After logging in, you'll land on the Home tab. This is your starting point for planning a new trip if you haven't planned one yet, continuing your most recent trip, or exploring some recommended stops on that most recent trip.
On the Home tab, 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 the "My Trips" tab at the bottom of the screen.
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.
On the map, you can also:
- Tap the arrow icon for the map to zoom into your current location.
- 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.
My Trips
The My Trips tab is your dedicated hub for all the trips you've created. Tap it from
anywhere in the app to see your full trip list.
To start a new trip, tap + New Trip in the upper right of the screen.
Tap any trip to open it and keep planning. Tap the three dots in the upper right corner of a trip to Export a PDF, GPX, or delete the trip.
Your most recently edited trip appears at the top.
We don't offer a way to reorder trips on your My Trips tab. Trips are ordered by most recently opened or edited.

Now that you know the basics, let's talk about how to plan a trip!
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.
