Good review. Looks like a useful app. Love the deer walking by out your window. BTW you gave away your home address when you showed how to use the navigation.

[@jinaw1557]

Great video, just like the Garmin RV 890 review. I have the RV 770 which uses the same maps, and I'm often frustrated about the errors or the nonsense this device wants me to do. What's even more frustrating, is that Garmin - to whom I have several times with great detail complained - always defends everything. And if it's not defensible they say that they are not responsible for the maps because they buy them from another company - what a joke. What I like about the Garmin device are the Up Ahead and Elevation panels at the side of the screen, and also the voice announcements and directions (much better than Google Maps). I use now usually the Garmin device and an iPad with (downloaded) Google Maps simultaneously, and that works very well. But I will look into Roadpass after this review! Thanks for this video.

[@Hundert1]

A key main thing to show and thoroughly explain in your videos about various gps devices and apps is how easy it is to pick the road or bridge we want to take as opposed to the route the device chooses for us to take. And please don't throw out that Garmin. I'm accepting donations. Thank you 😊

[@TravelswithDelaney]

The Garmin was actually sold a few weeks ago…..I recouped some of my money and the new owner got a good deal on a barely used GPS.

[@Hundert1]

@@TravelswithDelaney Oh that's nice you were able to sell it and not have a complete loss. But do you get my point about having a GPS system that's very easy to change the route a bit in advance so we can avoid certain places we don't want to go near like cities and bridges, even if it takes us another few minutes or so to get to our final destination. Usually as we get closer to cities the traffic can get insane. The GPS might think it's a faster way not realizing there's a good chance lots of traffic will be there. Nothing worse than bumper to bumper driving and congestion. The ideal GPS system would produce a nice big list of several feasible alternative routes that aren't too outta the way either. Thanks

[@williamsneedjr4129]

Thanks for this information

[@TravelswithDelaney]

You are welcome! Always try to share what we are learning.

[@ggebhard1]

What a great video! I've been thinking about a good GPS system. Now I have a good reason to get an iPad Pro!! Thanks Patrick!!

[@TravelswithDelaney]

You don’t have to get the iPad Pro if you don’t need that much iPad. Some people have told me they use an iPad mini with cell service on it. We love the app for navigation

[@carolyntaylor7611]

Thanks for the info, we'll probably sign up immediately. We're currently on a 7 week road trip in our Tab400, we live near Gettysburg, Pa. In icy north TX right now, then headed east to Florida, then the Keys, then north to Miami then, Savanah, Charleston then on home. Some great Harvest Host places we have already stayed in are, Hidden Meadow Vineyards, The Great Mississippi Tea Co ( great tour on how they grow and process tea)brought tea on a tray the morning we left. Belmont Plantation near Greenville, Mississippi, amazing, and they feed us bkfst in the mansion. We highly recommend these places for boondocking. 😊

[@territ8837]

That looks like a great app, thanks!

[@TravelswithDelaney]

We have been really happy with it so far.

[@Reneellinedance]

Hi Pat excellent video I was just about ready to purchase the Garmin GPS but after watching your video I will definitely try Togo Rv first.

[@TravelswithDelaney]

For the price, it's definitely worth trying. Plus in addition to the navigation, you get a lot of other great things in the App for the $49.99 per year.

[@waynekern8471]

That sounds exactly like what I was about to write. Our son just got his CDL licence and we bought a tractor trailer specific Garmin, 5" screen for him for Xmas ($250) and was ready to purchase the 7" RV specific when I watched Patrick's video and read all the negative comments about it agreeing with him. We need to change our phone data plan and upgrade our phones to 5G anyway so this might be the perfect thing for us. I would just use my phone since I don't want something as big as that tablet on the dash. Thanks Patrick! 👍

[@bobmoto3528]

So the Garmin is $500 one time cost. But you have to buy the iPad Pro and a car mount and a car charger then pay monthly and yearly for services fees and you didn’t add all that up and disclose the total for let’s says five years? In service fees alone for five years you’ll pay $1,450. Doesn’t sound like saving money.

[@HappyPlaceDiaries]

Good stuff!!! We are going to check that out. We currently use the Garmin 770 RV , like it but it take up a bunch of space on the dash. Thanks

[@TravelswithDelaney]

We have been very happy with the TOGO RV navigation. Only wish I had started using it a long time ago

[@lynnm635]

Nice video. You had a few deer travel through your yard while you were speaking. Must be a nice area to live. Thanks

[@TravelswithDelaney]

Thank you! Yes...we always have deer roaming around here. It's kind of like wild kingdom back here.

[@donhiller8694]

Bear in mind that you need to review all routes. Before it was discontinued ( Garmin bought the company - GRRR!) we used software from Delorme , only about $50.. Very good versatile app - easily edited, etc. - but it loved routing through Manhattan . It was "faster" - oh joy. Also there's the cost of a good size tablet with a cell option, that exceeds the cost of a laptop or the Garmin device. Just food for thought.

[@agm6095]

I have seen this TOGO RV advertised by Jason Epperman on his RV Miles KZbin channel. I hate to pay for something like that if I'm not going out all the time like full timers. I would hope the Google comes out with something like this for free. I thank you for your honest review of the Garmin since I was thinking of buying one. Thank you for all your very informative and honest videos.

[@TravelswithDelaney]

You are welcome! We like Google maps and it works well. Really the only missing component is taking an RV into consideration on routes. That would be awesome if Google would add that feature.

[@kxrv6629]

Thanks for your companion videos-this and the one on the Garmin 890. Am traveling from the mid-Atlantic to New England for the first time in our 25 ft motorhome and our built-in Rand McNally RV nav system has permanently crashed. I never liked its routing logic, but I valued the low clearance and weight warnings. Am looking for replace and have been trying RV Life app for RV Safe Navigation. It has been very quirky so far about routing us around things on a route through residential areas when there is NO visible obstacle by continuing down a street and has taken us down supposedly RV Safe narrow streets in Philly that even in my small motorhome made me nervous. As you state you have to be able to trust your navigation system and was thinking about the Garmin 890, but it seems like from your other video you had similar problems. Yikes! Maybe I’ll try this now…

[@TravelswithDelaney]

We have been happy using the TOGO App this summer in New England.

[@markmlynarski1386]

Nice review. We have WiFi service in the truck, so I think we could use that.

[@TravelswithDelaney]

I think you could!

[@user-wf2ig9tr1y]

What if you don't have a cell signal? That's why I'm looking for some type of GPS type of device. We are planning a trip to Yellowstone which has plenty of dead spots. I do appreciate your video information for cities. It was definitely informative.

[@amorevan]

Anyone know if ToGo has an option to download the maps or do you lose navigation if you lose cell signal?

[@paulvance3735]

Thanks for the information! Does Togo work via satellite or does it have the same issue of dead zones that the cellphone experiences? Also, if you don’t chose avoid highways will it still avoid major interstate bottlenecks? I know this was a problem with the garmin.

[@TravelswithDelaney]

Unfortunately, it is cell based so that could be an issue if. you are in a non-cell area. We mainly wanted RV specific navigation for the major metropolitan areas such NY, Atlanta, etc. I am not sure on the avoid highways feature as we had not tried that out. yet.

[@carolyntaylor7611]

Our 2018 Tab has fridge failure and tired batteries. We got a great price from Princess craft and bought a 2019 1995 Lance lovingly care for by its owners we bought directly from the owner south of Fort Worth, we're now near Ft Lauderdale FL, and will head north again on March 1st. The Tab had been feeling small on our last New England trip, it rained alot. Now we just have to sell our beautiful Walker tent we no longer need.

[@carolyntaylor7611]

Princess craft bought our camper, I realized I didn't communicate that very well. They are so nice to deal with.

[@asarnth]

Greate video! I'm just wondering if this app has live traffic update features. Didn't see he mentioned. Life traffic alert and reminder features can prevent you from getting stuck from accident, construction and road conditions so that you can plan ahead for rerouting.

[@TravelswithDelaney]

It does not have traffic features

[@michaelricco8848]

What is the mounting hardware brand/model that you used for the ipad please?

[@roger80465]

About a month ago, I did a trial of Roadpass Pro for the week. I was traveling from a campground on I40 in Albuquerque, NM to a campground in Morrison, CO. This is a trip I have taken numerous times while towing my 5er. It is highway all the way but I wanted to see how this worked. It found 2 routes I could take but said neither were safe for my rig and gave me no other alternatives. In other words, according to this app, I couldn't get there from here. That was the end of my trial and I cancelled immediately. I will continue to use RV Life which, incidentally, uses the same nav system.

[@TravelswithDelaney]

Thanks for sharing your experience. We are still using the TOGO App and so far its done ok for us.

[@wilsmith6578]

Great video! Just subscribed to your channel. I was just about to push the purchase button on the Garmin 890 but backed away when I saw you other video. However, I do have a few questions about the TOGO RV on a tablet. The wife and I are new to RVing (camper trailer) for 3 years now and love love it. We discovered Boondocking and will never go back to parks. Here are the questions: 1. I have a standard Garmin and do like it, mostly because the places we go, we lose cell service. Does the app on the Tablet rely on cell service? If it does, how do you get around that? 2. I see the TOGO RV app states camping and RV parks, does the "camping" sites include state, federal and dispersed camping sites, in other words, the free sites? I hope to hear back soon as we are getting ready to plan our upcoming trips and I'd really like something that will make our trips easier and more enjoyable. Thank you, Wil

[@TravelswithDelaney]

Unfortunately the iPad and the app does rely on cell signal. We carry a basic Garmin GPS with us in the truck in case we get into a situation where we would lose cell signal on the iPad. So far, we have not had to pull out the Garmin but we have it in case we need it. The TOGO app has a section to find RV parks and a 2nd function to find overnight RV parking. That can include anything from rest areas to Cracker Barrel, etc.

[@deborahsleith8879]

Did you test it with the infamous George Washington Bridge route? This app looks promising for future trips.

[@TravelswithDelaney]

LOL! Not yet but we will in a few months!

[@alanlauborough6404]

Is there a voice to announce the upcoming turns, etc?

[@phillipolanger9116]

Hey Patrick. Is this like TvTrip Wizard. Just purchased trip wizard. Wondering if I should purchase this one also. Thanks Phil from Detroit

[@TravelswithDelaney]

No...I think RV Trip Wizard is something different. This is in the TOGO RV App and I thought RV Trip Wizarrd is part of RV Life.

[@phillipolanger9116]

Thanks Patrick. Your the coolest.

[@LouCetrangelo]

Hi Patrick: I also have a Garmin RV 890 and experienced strange routing errors that put our 35' 5th wheel in bad situations. With regards to using your TOGO app how do you get around not having cell service in remote places like Yellowstone NP?

[@TravelswithDelaney]

We have a regular small GPS that we had from before that we carry just in case we don't have cell service. So far, we have not had an issue.

[@ZillaYT]

But cellular service may not be as available as GPS in some remote areas? That’s the EXCLUSIVE reason to have a GPS device. And the app doesn’t have a landscape UI?

[@TravelswithDelaney]

You are correct. In those cases we use our built in gps in the truck to get us by.

[@allabouttires7723]

WE JUST GOT OUR FIFTH WHEEL RIG AND WE ARE TO GO. ARE YOU STILL HAPPY WITH TOGO APP. (FYI ,I ALWAYS WRITE IN CAPITS LOL.) CAN WE SHARE THE APP. ON MY PHONE AND MY WIFES ? THEY ARE ANDROIDES PHONES, I ALSO LIKE THE YEAR COST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND NICE VIDEO DAVE AND NANCY

[@TravelswithDelaney]

Congratulations on the 5th wheel. Yes.....we still use the TOGO app and have been happy with it. I still always double check the route ahead of time but it has done us well. We both have it on our phones and just log both in with the same account that we signed up with.

[@pamelajones5666]

What do you do when you encounter areas that do not have the best cellular service?

[@TravelswithDelaney]

We carry a cell signal booster we carry with us in the RV and that usually will get us by. Otherwise, we just don’t don’t service while we are there but haven’t had that issue too often.

[@donnadelahanty9903]

Hi Patrick. Is the Togo app only useful for those RVers who tow? How about class b? TYIA

[@TravelswithDelaney]

No....it can be used for both towable and motorized RV's. It would take in a Class B's length, height, weight, etc.

[@curty85]

Does the TOGO app show dump stations?

[@toddheidenreich3866]

Looks like a useful app. Does anyone know if this is compatible with Apple CarPlay?

[@TravelswithDelaney]

This navigation service is now a part of the RoadTrippers App.

[@BackFocus11]

Does it have offline maps???? One thing I don't like about cellphone apps is if you're in a space with no cell service, you can loose your maps.... That happened to me this weekend in Bishop CA when the entire Verizon network went down for 2 days in that area. The cell phone GPS apps were useless.

[@sparklearmy]

This app sounds PHENOMENAL!!! And id rather spend the $50/year for reliable travel routing with an RV than pay $$$ for something that’s going to dump me out into the outer loop of a heavily trafficked metropolitan belt.

[@tkilg7169]

I know this is a year old, but maybe you can clear up my confusion. You used the Roadtrippers trip planner with the Togo rv app to navigate. Can you elaborate on how you set this up. Do you still use the Togo app?

[@TravelswithDelaney]

We do still use the TOGO App navigation. We just run it on our iPhone or iPad when we travel.

[@tkilg7169]

@@TravelswithDelaney The roadtripper navigator app on my android phone seems pretty unreliable, and I thought maybe I would try the Togo app to see if it was better, but for some reason, the trips that I plan within the roadtrippers planner don't show up in the Togo rv app, like they do in the roadtrippers phone app. With the roadtripper app, just yesterday, I set out on a short trip and the app, which I use on my android phone, did not give me spoken instructions until about 30 minutes after I got back home. I wonder if your good luck is because you use an ipad that is cell enabled, or perhaps it works better on all Apple devices?

I’ve downloaded the app - going to give it a trial run when we go to Austin October 12th just in our car. No Rv After putting in our travel destination, I thought the route gives us gas stops, dumping stations, overnight parking, etc. automatically. So ???? Where are they? And Roadtrippers? Do I need to join that also?($30)

[@TravelswithDelaney]

I don't think the GPS service with TOGO provides gas stops. We just use Apple Maps on my wife's phone when we need to find that. I am not familiar with RoadTrippers. We just use the navigation service in TOGO.

[@Smartdatamap]

nice video, however, when I went to the Play Store to download, I read so many unhappy reviews there.. 2.9 rating scares me.

[@TravelswithDelaney]

That's interesting. We have been using the app since last August and have had no issues with it. I wonder what they do not like about it. We bought the subscription plan so I wonder how many left poor reviews because you get very limited features in the free version and they don't want to pay for the annual subscription?

[@nepatswin]

What if you don't have cell coverage?

[@TravelswithDelaney]

The built in navigation on the truck will be used in those cases. And most likely the only places where that would occur would be in areas where I really won’t have to worry about RV specific navigation as you’d always have cell coverage in the white knuckle metropolitan areas.

[@jeffrodawald1662]

Thank you for the very informative video. Like other followers, I was very close to purchasing a Garmin 890. I certainly understand satellite versus cell coverage concern, but a cell booster seems like a good backup plan. I also have Garmin non-RV style navigation unit that I could keep charged up for emergency use. May I ask what size IPAD pro you have there and what protective case you are using? Thank you again for all the great info.

[@TravelswithDelaney]

We have an 11" iPad Pro but honestly any iPad would work depending on how big you prefer it. I actually think the iPad mini might be big enough. The case was just a cheap rubber case that I bough on Amazon. I actually started using my phone this summer just to see how it worked and I actually ended up preferring it most of the time as its more manageable in size.
