New GPS Designed for the RVers

New GPS Designed for the RVers
After extensive research and beta testing in the RVing community, Rand McNally has released the TripMaker® RVND™ 5510, the first navigation device designed specifically for RVers.

It comes stocked with information specifically for your RV.  Routing isn’t just routing on the 5510. The GPS also includes height and weight restrictions and turning preferences that are tuned to the type of RV you’re driving.



Looking for a place to park your home-on-wheels?  Points of interest on this GPS are expanded to include RV campgrounds, dealers, repair providers and travel centers with dump stations.

“We’ve listened carefully to members of the RVing community, who told us overwhelmingly that they would be interested in purchasing a GPS if it provided RV-specific routing, stops, and amenities that RVers need while on the road, and things to see and do along the way. Our new TripMaker® RVND™ line will solidly deliver on these expectations,” said Dave Muscatel, CEO of Rand McNally in a new release. 

Fully operational in English, French, and Spanish, the TripMaker® RVND™ features more than 14 million points of interest—including festivals, and national, state, and regional parks, and other Rand McNally researched locations. Other key information includes:
