Type in post office and it gives you the location of the nearest 20! Take your pick. The same for Walmart, Lowe's or Safeway. Updates occur several times a year and keep the system up-to-date. In addition, they also make software improvements from time to time to take care of problems that crop up.
We do use the maps on the iPad at times if we are having map problems and need to get a second opinion but I would never try to drive from a cell phone or iPad, too much heads down activity unless you have it mounted on the dash in front of you. We took our car Garmin with us to New Zealand and Australia. I purchased the maps for both countries from Garmin. I had every road in both countries, every round-about, school zone warnings and all the rest.
It was one of the best things about driving in those countries. It made adjusting to driving on the wrong side of the road much easier to handle. I have called, sent it back, updated, updated, updated I could do this all day its been updated so many times It has tried to send us down cattle pastures, on roads with a 3 ton covered bridge and it has all of our coach information loaded.
I use it now just as a live map on rare occasions. I am planning on purchasing a Garmin for next year. Rand McNally's customer service is non existent, after it was returned and still didn't work, I asked them to replace it or refund me they told me it was out of warranty now and can no longer help me with my concerns. We are not full timers so time has worked against us with this product and they tell you their latest update will fix it, so you update it, next trip out I believe they tell you to update it, update it, update it just to drag you closer to your warranty expiration then they cut you loose.
My problem with phone APP's DW would have it in her hand telling me where to go, which is often a disaster. Plus it would use phone data and when you exceed that your monthly bill goes off the charts. My DW, when she was among the living used to tell me where to go Mine still does. My DW will look at the map and say, Take the Blue road to the left and go up one inch to the Red road. Nuf Said. Haha, mine "turn left, why did you go this way"?
You told me to turn left Our trip last year was around miles with no problems. Using it in the toad, I selected a parking garage in downtown Chicago, entered the address and it took us right to it - and then got us back out of there to the campground without any problems.
It will give you on screen information for turns and highway change information including which lane to be in well in advance.
In the 2 years we have owned the unit, it has never failed to take us directly to a campground we selected although I have added some additional campground databases which is a simple process.
My Winnebago Journey also has the Riverpark system. We had trouble with it locking up all of the time. Dealer put a new unit in and it is great! Sadly dealer was Camping World so they didn't get everything quit right. Pulled the unit out and corrected some connection. Also, the Wi-Fi dongle was defective which Riverpark sent a replacement. Would suggest you contact your dealer. I have found Riverpark tech support to be very responsive. One other thought. My unit would start doing weird things after it was on for about an hour.
Because of where it is mounted it overheats. I added a 4" muffin fan and is now solid no matter how long we use it. It started out being flaky, with finding the signal, then not. The Rand McNally software also acted up with frozen screens. The first attempt at a fix was to remove the SD card used by Rand McNally and repairing it using Rand's downloadable software.
