ATS RV Trip Planner · by All Things Spatial
Routing that respects your height, weight and length. Curated places to stop, fuel up and sleep. A trip binder that keeps every day in one place — all on Esri’s ArcGIS platform.
A demonstration application by All Things Spatial — a working showcase of premium GIS engineering. Access is provided to clients and prospects.
Available to US residents only.
Every curated record states its source, and where the source publishes one, its release: Recreation.gov RIDB · USDA Forest Service · Bureau of Land Management · National Park Service · USGS The National Map · U.S. DOE / NREL · Overture Maps · Foursquare OS Places · NWS · NOAA · NIFC · EPA AirNow · USDOT WZDx
What you get
The ATS RV Trip Planner runs on the same GIS foundation All Things Spatial builds on for agencies and enterprise — Esri ArcGIS for routing, geocoding and reference data, and our own curated place data with provenance you can inspect.
Height, weight and length restrictions applied on Esri’s routing network — not a car-routing API with an RV skin. The rig’s four dimensions go to the Trucking Time travel mode as prohibited restrictions, so the solve avoids the roads that violate them.
Campgrounds with federal reservable data, dispersed camping on public land, fuel, dump stations, EV charging, groceries and emergency services — curated and kept current by All Things Spatial, not scraped from the open web.
Plan multi-stop trips with overnight stops along your corridor. Elevation profiles flag steep grades, conditions show what the road is doing, and days, stays, budget and checklist stay together — saved to your account.
Rig-aware routing
Your rig’s type and its four dimensions are entered once on your account and used by every route afterwards. The solve runs on Esri’s Route service in the Trucking Time travel mode, and each dimension is sent as an attribute parameter with its restriction set to prohibited.
Vehicle Height (meters)
Height Restriction
Entered in feet on your account, 5–15 ft.
Vehicle Length (meters)
Length Restriction
Entered in feet on your account, 8–65 ft.
Vehicle Width (meters)
Width Restriction
Entered in feet on your account, 6–10 ft.
Vehicle Weight (kilograms)
Weight Restriction
Entered in pounds on your account, 500–80,000 lb.
After a route computes, a badge says which dimensions were enforced and where they came from. Width is applied on the solve and deliberately not claimed by the badge.
Fastest or shortest, and switches to avoid tolls, ferries or entering Canada. Avoid Canada covers the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence crossings, not the Quebec or New Brunswick land border.
A note when one stop looks far out of the way. You reorder by hand — the app does not reorder your stops for you.
The low-clearance layer is reference material, not a routing input: the app’s own verdict is that your route avoids known low bridges. Propane and hazmat are not routing inputs. Stop order is never optimised. Obey posted signs.
Conditions
Weather alerts, radar, wildfires, air quality and road closures, as overlays you toggle on the map and on the routing page.
Display only — a planning aid, not life-safety information. Conditions change; check official sources before and during travel.
Along the way
Curated stops within 5, 10 or 25 miles of the computed route — the corridor you are actually driving, not a radius around one pin.
Dump & fresh water
Two different things share the word “dump stations” in this app, and the page says which is which.
The trip binder
Opening a saved trip draws its stored route and spends no new routing call. From there the binder is where the trip actually gets planned.
How it works
STEP 1
Rig type and the four dimensions, entered once and used by every route afterwards — plus fuel economy and price, which drive every fuel estimate, and a gust threshold that flags windy days.
STEP 2
Set your stops, pick fastest or shortest and any avoidances, and compute. Then search the corridor for curated stops and switch on the conditions overlays.
STEP 3
Save the route as a trip and reopen it without spending another routing call. Cut it into driving days, record stays, watch the budget, and work the checklist.
Data
Every curated record states which source published it and, where that source publishes one, which release it came from. The in-app data table and the monthly caps are read from the same code the app runs on, so the help page cannot drift from the product.
Not every layer carries an update cadence. Where a publisher does not state one, the app leaves it blank rather than inventing it.
FAQ
Not today. The ATS RV Trip Planner is a demonstration application by All Things Spatial — a working showcase of premium GIS engineering. There is no public sign-up and no checkout; access is provided to clients and prospects. Request demo access and we will set you up.
Your saved height, length, width and weight are converted to metric and sent to Esri’s Route service as attribute parameters on the Trucking Time travel mode — Vehicle Height, Vehicle Length, Vehicle Width and Vehicle Weight — each with its matching restriction set to prohibited. The solve therefore avoids road segments whose mapped restrictions your rig violates.
No. Nothing in the routing code reads a bridge-height table; the road network’s own restriction attributes do the work, and no provider maps every low structure. The app’s own wording is that your route avoids known low bridges, and the low-clearance layer is shown as collapsed reference material rather than as a routing input. Obey posted signs.
No. There is a propane and hazmat field on the rig profile, but the stock Trucking Time travel mode ships no hazmat restriction, so setting it changes nothing about the route. We would rather say that than imply a routing behaviour that does not exist.
No. Stop-order optimisation was deliberately removed from the consumer flow. The app will tell you when one stop looks far out of the way, and you reorder it by hand.
No. The app carries federal reservable campground data so you can see which sites take reservations and how to reach them, but it does not check live availability and it does not book. Record the reservation you made in the binder’s Stays section.
The live map needs a connection. What travels with you is the export: the route as GPX, KML or a stops CSV, the binder as a PDF, and the elevation profile as a file. There is no offline map mode.
The United States. Every curated layer is U.S.-scoped, and the Avoid Canada preference covers the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence crossings — not the Quebec or New Brunswick land border. Do not plan Canadian routing with it.
Yes. The app is responsive: a bottom tab bar on a phone, a left rail on a desktop, the same maps, routing and binder on both.
Yes — that is what All Things Spatial does. Premium, branded geospatial applications on the modern Esri and open-source stacks. Book a working session to scope it.
Tutorials
Sign in and land on the map.
Enter the four dimensions once, so every route afterwards is about this rig.
Turn categories on, read the counts at continent zoom, open a pin.
Read a record’s source and release, and narrow with the quality chips.
Set stops, choose preferences, compute, and read the rig-legal badge.
Find stops in the corridor, check weather and closures, read the low-bridge reference.
Save the route and reopen it without spending another routing call.
Cut the trip into driving days, pick a campground per night, see that day’s conditions and nearest emergency services.
Record reservations, watch the budget against the rig’s mpg, work the checklist.
Read the elevation profile, take the trip offline as a file, and see what the plan covers.
Use curated search free, and see what live search adds.
View, confirm and contribute dump stations.
