Rand McNally’s TripMaker RVND 5510 promises RV-easy navigation, Robin Williams at extra charge

Navigation device provides RV-specific routing, amenities, and activities along the way

Skokie, Ill., May 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ – After extensive research and beta testing within the RVing community, Rand McNally has released the TripMaker® RVND™ 5510 – the 1st navigation device designed specifically for RVers.

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

The TripMaker® RVND™ features:

RV-easy Routing
Starting with a base of award-winning navigation from Rand McNally, the TripMaker® RVND™ 5510 layers on each of the information had to have an enjoyable and safe trip in an RV. The routing includes legal (including propane and other RV-only), height and weight restrictions, right or left-turn preference in keeping with eleven different RV types, and a brief connection with the Rand McNally Road Atlas. Turn-by-turn spoken and text directions keep the driving force excited about the street ahead.
