I have just started using the RV Life App. It is very good and allow you to use the power of the smartphone, the easiness of having a computer for planning or an iPad for a bigger screen. It is cloud based and online. As such it’s database is always updated for all information such as road blocks/ construction, campgrounds, fuel stations, etc.
It is the best of both worlds. I have used the Garmin RV GPS before and this is superior as it gives you everything the Garmin does plus ease planning and full integration with Car Play or Android so you can follow on you big screen if you have the newer radios.
I hope it helps. Please send me a PM if you need additional information.

Doesn't make one bit of sense..

If it is 100% "cloud based" then it must have 100% Internet connection all the time and to use it on a iPad that means you would have to have a cellphone Ipad or a Ipad tethered to a cellphone data stream..

Why go through all that hassle and expense, why not just use your cellphone Internet and use Google Maps? Its free..

At least CoPilot works 100% offline (IE no Internet required) as you download and install the maps directly to your tablet or phone and CoPilot uses the built in GPS radio.. Once the maps are loaded you can remove the device from the Internet. Of course if you have a non cellphone version of a Ipad you won't have any GPS radio so you are out of luck..
