If I understand it right, the $49/year for Trip Wizard includes the ability to use it on my phone that has the integrated GPS function. How well does that work??

I didn't play with it much when I have the subscription, so I couldn't compare it well. But with the GPS's costing $500, you could get 10 years of RVTW including GPS routing for that.

If you learn to use RVTW GPS correctly is it a good replacement for a real GPS?
I use both. Trip Wizard is for planning, the latest model RV Garmin is for driving. I buy latest RV model every few years.
