GOOD SAM TRIP PLANNER

Good HOT evening.
Are Rand McNally and the GS Trip Planner still available?
If so, which model Rand McNally gps?
Is anyone using this setup?
What are your pros and cons?
I like the idea of being able to create a trip, fine tune the route you want to take, pick cg's, attraction, etc.
And then exporting to the gps, and make printed copy.
Does the gps have free lifetime updates?
Can the trip planner export the trip to another brand of gps, such as the Garmin?
I am sure after I post this, I will think of other things that I should have asked. LOL
Thank you for you replies.

    For some reason, the GS trip planner has flatly refused to load, no matter which browser I use. Finally gave up and subscribed to RV Trip Wizard, which does 1 and 2 of LeeOdell suggestions. One can also input the monies spent each day, fuel used, etc. As one moves along a projected route, campgrounds pop up, which are linked to reparkreviews.com. I quite like that program, even though not all the campgrounds we've found and used were there (or in the GPS).

    I don't know if I can export to our RM/GS GPS. Haven't tried. But I can and do download to an Excel spreadsheet, which helps keep us on budget and on track. And when the RM/GS GPS goes crazy, as it's down several times on this months long trip, we still have the address handy to the next location.
