We use our S&T with our Garmin to catch anything lacking in S&T due to the discontinuation. We are old Streets & Trips users and have not found anything that can compare. It will not use decimal degrees which seems to be the standard for land travel in RVers these days – as well as the easiest format to use by far. It seems to time out before we can do much of anything as far as planning. Tried Furkot for about a half hour – can’t figure it out. She has been a Fulltime RVer, popular seminar presenter at RV Rallies, and regular contributor to RVTravel, for many years. She has been in computer training and support since 1983 and owned a Computer Training Center called Computer Savvy from 1983-1996. They have an extensive help system that explains everything you need to know.Ĭhris Guld is President and Teacher-in-Chief at. If you’re looking for a trip-planning system, you owe it to yourself to take a look at Furkot. Let us know if you give it a try by using the comments below. We will use Furkot and write more about it in future articles, and on our Facebook Page. We leave for a 3 month journey at the end of the week. If you are the type of traveler that wants your entire route imported from your plan to your dashboard GPS, they’ve got you covered! Furkot’s export options We’ll try it out That takes me to Google Maps and it starts navigating to that destination. With Furkot, I can see our plan on the phone, tap on one destination and tap on Navigate.
Then, we trust it to avoid low bridges, and propane restricted tunnels etc. Each day as we set off on the road, we’ll look at our plan and enter just today’s destination into the Rand McNally. It is always on the dashboard, and it has only one job to do. We use a Rand McNally RVND7720 to navigate with the RV. Navigating a Trip that was Planned with Furkotįurkot is not a navigation system, it is a planning system. So, for example, if you need to arrive in time to attend a wedding, you can lock that stop’s date and it will not let you recalculate other items in a way that gets you there late! There is even a feature to “Lock” a date. And, if you change the start date, or the number of nights at any stop – the dates recalculate for every other stop. With Furkot, it not only shows the date you will arrive/leave any given stop – you can also point to any place along your route and see what time of day you’ll be there! Here is what the “Plan” drawer looks like.
Start a Trip by entering your beginning and your end destination.It works a lot like Streets & Trips – that’s a good thing since we were so accustomed to S&T:
