AdventureGenie Upgrade to ‘Revolutionize’ Trip Planning

BLUFFTON, S.C. – AdventureGenie, the AI-powered trip-planning innovator for road trippers, announced a significant update packed with new features designed to elevate the adventure planning experience for both new and seasoned travelers.

Responding to user feedback, this upgrade introduces a suite of powerful tools, including the ability to import trips from other planners, direct export to Google Maps, and a redesigned homepage for enhanced usability, according to a release.

“We’ve been hard at work crafting new features that will take your adventures to the next level,” said AdventureGenie CEO Scott Lengel. “We listened to our users, and we delivered. Whether you’re a longtime user or just checking back in, this journey just got even better!”

Key highlights of the AdventureGenie platform update include:

  • Seamless Trip Importing: Users can now easily import trips from other planning tools directly into AdventureGenie. This feature allows travelers to revamp old favorites, consolidate their planning, or ensure no saved trip is ever lost. The import link is accessible via the home page footer.
  • Expanded Navigation with Google Maps Integration: In addition to GPX export for Garmin devices, planned trips can now be exported directly to Google Maps. This offers greater convenience and familiar navigation for users, especially van lifers and those traveling without large rigs.
  • Genie Links for Quicker Recommendations: Within “GenieWishes” (Activities), linked phrases for suggested restaurants, locations, and activities now instantly provide more details, making trip research faster and more efficient.
  • Comprehensive On-Route Services: Trip planning is smoother with the addition of Dump Stations, Rest Stops, and Welcome Centers displayed directly along the user’s route in the Trip Planner.
  • Direct Planning from Campground Pages: Users who find their perfect campground can now initiate trip planning directly from its page by simply adding a starting location, streamlining the process.
  • Customizable Distance Units: Travelers can now set their preference for kilometers or miles for driving distances, either in the Trip Planner or from the home page.
  • Refreshed User Interface: A redesigned home page offers an improved layout, enhanced user experience, and clearer insights into the platform, making navigation more intuitive.
  • Exclusive Partner Perks: Pro subscribers will benefit from collaborations with top industry partners, unlocking exclusive savings and benefits tailored to enhance their adventures.
  • New Blog for Inspiration and Tips: AdventureGenie has launched a new blog page featuring quick reads on diverse adventures and essential travel tips. The platform also invites users to contribute their own adventure stories and images.

“Our goal is to empower every traveler to plan and embark on their dream adventures with utmost ease and enjoyment,” Lengel added. “These new features are a testament to our commitment to continuous improvement and our dedication to the AdventureGenie community.”

RVIA Standards Dept. Attends Dometic Technical Training

The RV Industry Association’s (RVIA) Standards department attended a recent technical training class presented by Dometic Corporation, a supplier member, to enhance their product-specific knowledge, according to an RVIA News & Insights report. This helps the Standards department provide accurate information to member manufacturers in the field during inspections and discussions.

RVIA’s Standards staff were provided with technical overviews of Dometic’s latest products and systems regarding furnaces, refrigerators, air conditioning units, and water heaters. In addition to learning the specifics through technical overviews, staff were also trained in the proper installation and troubleshooting of the appliances that were presented. 

Five experienced Dometic product experts guided the training alongside the lead instructor  to address all questions from attendees. 

The Standards department maintains a professional team of full-time inspectors that promote the enhancement of safety by monitoring adherence to the standards. The team conducts more than 2,000 unannounced inspections of member company RV manufacturing plants annually and provides educational resources and hands-on training to manufacturer members. RVIA inspectors walk every station along the production line, spot checking representative RV units for compliance with over 500 safety-related standards requirements and conducting hands-on discussions about these standards.

RVIA Standards department would like to thank Dometic for the time and expertise that were put into the training. The information presented will be highly beneficial to the Standards department’s inspectors, as RVIA continues to work tirelessly to support and educate its members on standards compliance and, ultimately, ensure that consumers have a safe and positive RV experience.
