    Hello All,
    I'm new here and I look forward to posting as I become more comfortable with the software and all its features. Meanwhile, while experimenting with Trip Wizard, I encountered what I believe to be a serious issue. I sent a message to RVLife using the on-line system, but I think it might be helpful to alert others via the forum. Below is an abbreviated version of the message I posted this evening:

    " upload_2022-1-17_22-16-19.png The route from Charlottesville, VA, to Big Meadows Campground on Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park does not take one to the Swift Run Entrance Station. Rather, it routes one across the mountains to Elkton, VA, and up to Stanley, Va. There, one enters a gravel road which I know to be a fire road. There is no proper entrance station to the Park at this point."

    Welcome to the forum BDRV and a great way to begin your entrance.

    It's good for the rest of us that are not familiar with the area to know a problem exists. Like all software, their are bound to be glitches. I never rely 100% on my GPS units. I check Google Earth and Google maps as well plus we always rely the old stand by, Highway Direction Signs.

    Thanks for the HU and keep up the good work.

    Thanks you for your information. I see where you also reported this to the RV Life Campground Reviews Support Desk after which your message was forwarded to RV Life Trip Wizard, and one of the admins there replied to you. Since the members of this forum would not see that reply, I have included it here so that they too will have the benefit of the admin's explanation..

    "The reason for this is that Skyline Drive is truck restricted. You will need to drag your route to Skyline Drive. We have notified our routing provider."

    Good to know that our Support Team had this handled efficiently and that it was not a glitch!
