Directions are available while using either the Roadtrippers website or the app. If using the website, you can view step by step directions and a map of your entire trip. While using the app you can navigate from one waypoint to another using in-app Roadtrippers navigation or your preferred navigation app. Click a tab below to learn more about viewing directions on the website or navigating using the iOS or Android apps.
To see directions while using the website, first open your trip in map view. Scroll to the 'View Guide' button by clicking the arrow in the options bar below your trip header. Click 'View Guide:'
Your trip should now be open as a Guide. Hover your cursor over the three horizontal dots next to 'Featured Trip Guides' toward the right of the page. Click 'Directions'.
Clicking Directions will pull up a map of your route and step-by-step directions. Once open, you can also print these directions by using your browser's print button. You can learn more about printing by clicking here.

Note that Roadtrippers does not provide continuous navigation for your full trip, but you can navigate from waypoint to waypoint. We hope to introduce a solution for full trip continuous navigation in the future!
Routing Options
If you have Roadtrippers Plus you can apply Routing Options when planning your trip! Routing Options is currently in beta and will not apply your avoidances or RV details to active navigation.
If you apply routing options to your trip and then later launch navigation in the Roadtrippers mobile app you will see a warning message that your avoidances and vehicle dimensions will not be used in GPS navigation.
In the meantime, you can print turn-by-turn directions for your trip with your Routing Options applied before you hit the road. You can learn more about printing directions in advance here: Print my trip
Starting Navigation
- With a trip loaded on the map, open the Trip Planner by tapping the green trip name layer above the Map and Trip Guide tabs.
- You should now see the list of waypoints on your trip. Simply tap the waypoint you are traveling to and tap Navigate from the list of options that display.
- If a default navigation app has already been selected in your profile settings (Roadtrippers, Google Maps, Waze) then it will automatically open and load navigation to that stop. If a default has not been chosen, a list of available apps will appear to choose from.
Route Variance
Keep in mind that if you choose to navigate with a separate app your route will completely depend on how that app provides directions. If you did not apply routing options to your trip and you use our in-app navigation in the Roadtrippers app rather than another navigation app, the directions should stay very close to your trip's route.
Note that you can also start navigation from a place page in the app by simply opening the page and tapping the Navigate button.
