Dear Marcus

I am a Life Member of Good Sam

I want to thank you for all the good things you have done for the club but I also want to make you aware of a problem that I encountered recently. I owned an Rand Mc Nally RV GPS for some time, bought it at Camping World with a maintenance contract. My GPS failed so I received a new RVND 7 at the San Marcos CA branch because my prior model had been discontinued. Then I found that I cannot download my Good Sam Trip planner trips like I could with my old one. I returned to your Branch, spoke to the manager who simply said that is the way it is. I called Rand Mc Nally and they told me about their own trip planner (which) looks a lot like Good Sam's but lacks the ability to see the ICONS for campgrounds or Flying J stations. I then found that none of the GPS's being sold at Camping World will download the trips from Good Sam yet Good Sam continues to state on their web site that it does. The Good Sam Trip planner has been an excellent tool for me a good club benefit, I sure would like to have it back.

    Go figure! :B

    Only Good Sam/CW would pull something like this.
  • Interesting. Known or unknown issue? Management needs to resolve it.
  • you need to ask marcus at go profit.com as he is not around here but soon one of his customer care people will message you
  • I think Good Sam and Rand McNalley got a divorce so the new GPS probably will not interface.
  • Nope, none of the Rand McNally's interface with the Good Sam Trip planner, maybe another manufacturer can take their place.

    Hi Bajamarjess,

    Thank you for alerting us to this issue. We reached out to Rand McNally today for assistance & they have made an update on their end.

    The dock configuration for the RVND 7 GPS device has been updated; so users who have the RVND 7 product and connect to the Dock application will now see an option to import trips from the Good Sam Trip Planner.

    Trips from the Good Sam Trip Planner can be imported to any Rand McNally GPS. If you ever have an issue where that is not the case--just let us know!

    We appreciate your membership!

    Regards,
    Good Sam Club Team
