Plan RV routes with your rig's size in mind. WhimTrav is an RV GPS navigation app that uses your rig's height, width, length and weight to route around known low bridges, weight limits and restricted roads. WhimTrav was built by an RV family who got tired of regular GPS apps sending us under low bridges, down narrow roads, and into parking lots we couldn't turn around in. We built the RV trip planner we wished existed.
