Contacts

When you are viewing details for an RV park, you can add contact information for the park to your iPhone® address book in the Contacts app. The RV park information will always be added to a group to make it easier to manage parks separately from your "normal" contacts.

This Contacts settings controls the name of the group to which the RV park contact information is added. The default group name is "CTRVParks".

Search

Using controls on the main RV parks page you can undo and redo searches.

The Search setting allows you to set the number of searches maintained in the search history. This is the number of searches that you can step back and forth through. This is also the number of searches that will be remembered when you quit and restart the app.

The range is 0-300 searches.

Updates

The Updates item lets you keep your on-phone RV park database up to date (see Account, below).

The ContinuousTraveler.com database of RV parks is constantly changing. RV parks are added. Information for RV parks changes. And, in rare cases, entries for RV parks are retracted.

Tap on the Updates item to bring up the Updates page.

To use Updates, above, you need to register on the ContinuousTraveler.com web site, and confirm that registration.

Register using a valid email account on which you can receive a confirmation email from ContinuousTraveler.com. Follow the instructions in that email to confirm that you want the account, and to make it permanent.

You can validate that the account is correct by tapping the Updates item in App Settings. If you entered the account information correctly, you will get a count of available updates, and when you come back to the App Settings page the Status line for Account will say Validated.

Once you have a registered and confirmed ContinuousTraveler.com account, enter the email address and the password that you registered with here in the Account section of the App Settings.
