    The Undertow software is a later version of the Trailer Life software. GS is not selling it any more for some reason.
    As for routing I prefer Microsoft Streets and trips but use the Undertow to locate campgrounds.

    According to the posts on their forum, Trailer Life and Undertow have severed their relationship so there is no TL info included in this new UT product.

    That is strange as my software shows GS parks in red and others in blue. It may not have all the GS information but it does show whether they are good sam parks in the information.

    Look into Delorme Street Atlas. We've used it for 20 years. We're fond of getting off those interstates and exploring and this program makes it very easy to route the way WE want to go.

    Okay, I guess what they were upset about on the other forum is that there were no ratings, no link to a website, etc.

    Going back in, yes, there is alot less information. Does have websites and telephone numbers. Not much for directions other then GPS location.

    Can you import POIs as long as they're in .CSV format? How about low clearance, speed and red light cameras? Can you set the warning distance?

    TIA

    I would suggest you go to Undertow's website and check there for what you want to know. There is a POI function but not sure what it does.
