Help & FAQ

Use the top menu for the main travel maps and route tools: Camping, Attractions, Flattest Route, Low Bridges and Weather Center. Use the bottom menu for Trip Planner, My Journal (when available), Nearby Services, Expenses (when available) and Help. Contact Wehamba through the Help page. If you are looking for a place to camp or stop overnight, start with Camping. If you are planning a complete trip with several stops, start with Trip Planner.

Open Camping and allow location access when your phone asks for permission. Wehamba will use your location to center the map near you. If the map is showing another area, tap My Location to return to your current area.

Use the Search Park, Town or City box on the map. Begin typing the place name and choose the correct suggestion when it appears. The map will move to that area so you can browse locations there.

Open Categories & Map Legends. Turn on the location types you want to see and turn off the ones you do not need. This also helps explain what the different map markers represent.

Choose Allow if you want features such as My Location, nearby camping, weather and nearby services to use your current position. If you previously denied permission, you may need to enable location access for Wehamba in your phone settings.

No. Each tool works independently. You can simply browse the Camping map, search Attractions, check Weather, look for Nearby Services, or build a complete trip in Trip Planner. Use only the tools you need.

Open Trip Planner from the bottom menu. Enter your Starting Point and Destination and choose the correct suggestions. Tap Plan Route. Wehamba must create the route before it can search for places or break the trip into travel days.

Start in Trip Planner and enter your starting point. Use the multiple Route Points option to add the cities or destinations you want to visit in travel order. Set the final Route Point to the same place as your starting point to complete the round trip. Plan the route, review each leg and add overnight stops as needed. Tap Save Trip before opening another map.

Blue lettered Route Points (A, B, C and so on) are your main destinations. Numbered overnight Stops (1, 2, 3 and so on) are additional places along the journey. A round trip may return to the same location where it started.

Yes. Edit the specific lettered Route Point in Trip Planner. Wehamba recalculates the affected route legs. Review nearby overnight stops afterward, then save the updated trip before switching maps.

Yes. Find a suitable location along your route, open its marker, and choose the available add or replace option. Confirm the change and allow the route to recalculate. Review the revised itinerary and tap Save Trip.

Return to Trip Planner to add or change your main destinations (lettered Route Points) or manage your itinerary. Recalculate the route if needed, review the updated Route Points and overnight Stops, and tap Save Trip before switching maps. Then open the other Wehamba map and turn on My Trip to see the updated saved route. Exception: Flattest Route / Elevation Planner also lets you add or replace overnight Stops directly; successful changes there are saved automatically. Camping, Low Bridges and Weather Center display the saved itinerary but do not edit it.

The route must be saved first. Return to Trip Planner and tap Save Trip, then open the other map and enable My Trip. A route you have only planned but not saved may not appear on the other maps.

Wehamba draws the route, shows the total trip distance and travel time, and keeps Start as A and Destination as B. Overnight stops you add are numbered 1, 2, 3 and so on in travel order.

Choose how far you are willing to travel off the route, select the categories you want, then tap Find Locations. Wehamba shows matching places along the route. Increase the miles off route or select more categories if you want more choices.

Break Up My Trip helps divide a long route into manageable travel days. Enter approximately how many miles you want to travel per day and tap Find Overnight Stops. Wehamba creates target stopping areas along your existing route and suggests overnight locations near each target.

Yes. Change the miles-per-travel-day value and tap Find Overnight Stops again. You do not need to clear or re-enter your Start and Destination.

Tap Clear Trip first. Clear Trip removes the current route and overnight stops but keeps your Start and Destination ready for replanning. Then choose the other Break Up My Trip option and find your new stops. If you do not clear the trip first, new overnight stops may be added to the stops already on your map.

No. The suggestions are choices near each target stopping area. Use Info, Photos & Reviews to check a location first, then tap Add to Trip only for the place you want. You can also use the map to choose another suitable location.

Blue letters A, B, C and so on identify your main Route Points. Numbered markers 1, 2, 3 and so on identify your overnight or added Stops in travel order. For a simple trip, A is Start and B is Destination. For a round trip, your last Route Point may be the same place as A.

Yes. Wehamba recalculates the route and normalizes the numbered stop sequence so the itinerary remains in travel order. If you choose a different location for an existing stopping area, Wehamba can replace that stop and recalculate the trip.

Choose another suitable location when you want to change a stop and confirm the replacement when prompted. To remove a stop, use its X control in Your Trip. The remaining overnight stops are renumbered and the route is recalculated.

In Your Trip, each numbered overnight stop has an Info, Photos & Reviews button. Tap it to open the available Google location information without removing the stop from your itinerary.

Yes. Select Attractions in the Trip Planner categories, tap Find Locations, review the Attractions along your route and use Add to Trip for the ones you want to visit.

When the route and stops look right, tap Save Trip. The button changes to Saved to confirm the trip is stored on this device. A Trip Saved message offers Weather Forecast, Low Bridges and Elevation. Choose one or tap the orange Stay in Trip Planner button.

After Save Trip, choose Weather Forecast, Low Bridges or Elevation to review the same saved route on another map. Tap the orange Stay in Trip Planner button to close the popup without changing your trip. To access these choices again, tap Explore My Trip.

Save your route in Trip Planner, tap Explore My Trip (or choose a map in the Trip Saved popup), then open Weather Center, Low Bridges or Flattest Route and enable My Trip if needed. The other maps use the saved route; you do not have to enter the start and destination again.

In Trip Planner, choose your expected Departure for route weather and Miles per travel day (estimate). After Save Trip, open Weather Center and select Forecast at Arrival. Review the date and daily miles there, then tap Check My Trip Weather. Weather times are estimates, not your actual driving schedule.

After planning your route, tap Fuel. Enter or adjust your fuel type, expected miles per gallon and estimated price per gallon. Wehamba uses the trip distance to estimate gallons needed and fuel cost. Actual fuel use and prices may differ.

Yes. Where available, choose Add to My Journal from a Trip Planner location or stop popup. You may be asked to save the trip first and to sign in to your free Wehamba account. Journal entries can also be added from the Camping map or within My Journal.

Yes. The saved Trip Planner route and stops are stored on this device and can be restored when you return to Trip Planner.

Tap Directions for the stop you are ready to drive to. Wehamba hands navigation off to Google Maps for turn-by-turn directions. Return to Wehamba when you are ready for the next stop.

Clear Trip removes the planned route and added stops but keeps the Start and Destination fields so you can quickly plan the same endpoints again. Use the X beside Start or Destination when you want to clear either location completely.

Tap the X beside the Start or Destination field, enter the new place and choose the correct suggestion. Then tap Plan Route again.

The search may be too narrow. Increase the allowed miles off route, select more location categories and search again. Some areas naturally have fewer matching locations.

The Camping map is the main place to browse RV parks, public camping and selected overnight-stop categories. Move around the map or search a different town to explore places before or during your trip.

Each marker represents a type of camping or overnight location. Open Categories & Map Legends to see the available categories and their marker symbols, and to choose which types you want displayed.

Tap a marker on the map. Wehamba will open the information available for that location. When Info, Photos & Reviews is available, tap it to view the Google Maps listing for additional details, photos and reviews.

Tap My Location. Your phone must have location services turned on and Wehamba must have permission to use your location.

Yes. If you have a saved trip, turn on Show my Trip Planner route on this map. The Camping map displays the saved road-following route and its A, numbered stop and B markers so you can compare your trip with camping locations. Trip Planner remains the place to edit the trip.

Wehamba loads locations for the part of the map you are viewing. Some areas also have more participating or known locations than others. Move or zoom the map, or search another town, to explore a different area.

Open the location marker and use Report when the option is available. Explain what is incorrect or outdated so the Wehamba team can review it.

Open a supported Camping map marker and tap Add to My Journal. Sign in to your Wehamba account if prompted, then enter the date, camping type, state, optional expenses, photos and private rating before saving.

No. Availability, rules, hours, fees and overnight policies can change. Always review the location information and verify important details with the campground, business or property before relying on it for an overnight stay.

Attractions is a separate map for sightseeing and places you may want to visit while traveling. Keeping Attractions separate from the Camping map makes both maps easier to browse.

Tap Attractions in the top menu. Allow location access if you want the map centered near you, or use the search box to move the map to another town, city or area.

Tap the Attraction marker to open its available information. Use the Google information link when available if you want additional details, photos or reviews.

Where the Add a Location option is available, choose Drop Pin, place the pin at the correct location, check its position and submit the suggestion. It may be reviewed before appearing for everyone.

Yes. Open Trip Planner, create your route, select Attractions as a category and tap Find Locations. Review the results and use Add to Trip for the Attractions you want to visit.

Flattest Route helps you compare route choices with elevation and grade in mind. This can be useful when towing an RV or driving a heavier vehicle and you want to understand the terrain before choosing a route.

Choose Search Locations to enter your Start and Destination by city, town or address, or choose Drop Pins to select both points on the map. Then tap Analyze Routes and review the route choices and elevation information.

Open Flattest Route and tap the orange Drop Pins button. Tap the map once to place Start A, then tap again to place Destination B. Tap Analyze Routes to compare Flattest, Faster and Shortest routes. After analysis, pin placement locks so you can zoom and tap colored road segments without accidentally adding pins. Use Edit Pins to adjust the endpoints.

The route colors show estimated road grades: green 0–3%, yellow 3–5%, orange 5–7%, and red above 7%. Tap a colored section to see grade details. Grades are estimates based on sampled elevation data and may differ from actual road conditions.

Tap Save This Route to keep your selected elevation route for later on this device. Clear Route removes the current elevation display without deleting your saved Trip Planner itinerary. Use This Route in Trip Planner sends your selected route to Trip Planner to add overnight stops.

The route choices emphasize different goals. Flattest looks for a route with terrain in mind, Faster emphasizes travel time, and Shortest emphasizes distance. The routes may overlap or may take noticeably different roads.

The chart shows how the elevation changes along the selected route. Use it to see where climbs and descents occur and to compare the terrain of different route choices.

Yes. After you choose the route you want, tap Use This Route in Trip Planner. Wehamba sends that route to Trip Planner so you can find campgrounds, overnight stops and other locations along it.

Yes. Turn on My Trip to view your saved road-following route, including a multi-destination or round trip, on the Elevation Map. You can review terrain and grades along the journey.

Yes. Use Show Locations to display locations from the selected categories. Open a location marker, choose Add as New Stop or Replace Stop when available, and confirm. Wehamba recalculates the route and elevation profile before saving the change. Wait for the calculation to finish. If the update cannot be completed safely, your previously saved trip is left unchanged.

Yes. To add or change a main destination (a lettered Route Point), return to Trip Planner, update the itinerary and tap Save Trip before opening another map. You can add or replace numbered overnight Stops directly in the Elevation Planner; successful changes there are saved automatically.

No. It is a planning aid. Road restrictions, construction, grades and conditions can change. Check current road information, posted signs and any restrictions that apply to your RV before traveling.

Low Bridges helps RV travelers check a planned route for known low-clearance locations. It is designed to give you another warning before traveling with a tall RV, fifth wheel or motorhome.

Enter your Start and Destination, set your RV height, then run the route check. A marks the Start and B marks the Destination. Review the bridge warnings for the selected route before traveling.

When Google provides more than one route, the blue Alternative Route button shows Route 1 of 2, Route 1 of 3, and so on. Tap it to cycle through the available routes. Low Bridges reruns the clearance check for each selected alternative, so the warning count and bridge markers can change from route to route.

If you have a saved Trip Planner trip, turn on My Trip to display that saved road-following route and its trip markers on the Low Bridges map. Low Bridges checks the saved route for relevant low-clearance warnings, while Trip Planner remains the place to edit the trip.

Return to Trip Planner to edit your destinations or overnight Stops, then tap Save Trip. Come back to Low Bridges and turn on My Trip to view the updated saved route. Low Bridges does not edit your itinerary.

The planner uses different marker and warning levels to draw attention to known clearance information. Tap a marker to review the available clearance details before deciding whether the route is appropriate for your vehicle.

Your RV height helps you compare your vehicle with known bridge clearances. Use the actual maximum height of your RV, including roof-mounted equipment such as air conditioners, antennas or other accessories.

No. Clearance data, resurfacing, construction and road conditions can change. Always obey posted clearance signs and official restrictions. If a posted sign conflicts with the app, follow the posted sign and choose another route.

Check live radar, recent weather observations, temperature and wind along a saved route, or forecast weather for when you expect to reach each part of your trip. You can also check destination weather and the longer destination outlook.

Wind, Weather and Temp sit directly above the Leaflet map. My Trip is in the upper-left corner of the map when a saved trip is available. Radar controls (back, Play, forward, Radar On/Off, opacity and refresh) sit immediately below the map, followed by the forecast cards and destination outlook.

Save your route in Trip Planner, open Weather Center and turn on My Trip in the upper-left corner of the map if it is not already on. The orange line shows your saved route, A and B mark the endpoints, and numbered markers show stops. The map does not edit your saved itinerary.

The My Trip control appears only when a saved Trip Planner route is available on this device. Return to Trip Planner, plan or restore a route and tap Save Trip. Reopen Weather Center if necessary.

No. If you saved a Trip Planner trip, Weather Center reads its route and shows the saved endpoints. Manual Start and Destination searches remain available when you are not using a saved trip.

Wind shows colored arrows for wind direction and speed, with gust information in the marker details. Weather shows reported or forecast conditions including sun, clouds, rain, fog, snow or thunderstorms when the data supports them. Temp shows color-coded temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit. Tap any marker for more detail.

Those separate buttons were removed to keep the map simple. Choose Weather to see snow, rain, fog or thunderstorms when they are reported or forecast. Use official weather warnings and road information for safety decisions.

Live Weather Now uses recent reports from nearby weather stations along the route; it does not need a departure date. Forecast at Arrival uses hourly forecasts for the estimated date and time you may reach each checkpoint. Select the mode that matches what you want to check.

Select Live Weather Now, choose Wind, Weather or Temp and tap the route markers for reports and observation times. The green Refresh Live Weather Dots button requests updated reports. Stations can be some distance from the road and reports may be delayed.

Select Forecast at Arrival, choose Departure date & time, set the estimated Daily miles, then tap the green Check My Trip Weather button. Review the markers and the daily forecast cards below the map. Use Check My Trip Weather Again to refresh the forecast without rebuilding your trip.

Forecast at Arrival requires a valid departure date and time within the available forecast range. Select a date using the iPhone calendar or the Android calendar and separate time field. The red warning disappears when the entry is valid. Live Weather Now does not require a date.

To avoid unintentionally using an old travel date, the Weather Center may clear the departure field when the page is refreshed. Choose your new date and time before checking Forecast at Arrival again.

For Forecast at Arrival, Wehamba samples up to three locations per travel day for up to five travel days. At wider zoom levels, the map may show fewer markers to reduce clutter; zoom in to reveal more. Forecasts are sampled points, not a continuous report for every road mile.

Radar shows recent precipitation at the time displayed on the map. Live Weather Now dots are reports from nearby stations, which may differ from conditions directly on the route. Forecast at Arrival dots describe a future time, possibly days later. A sunny dot never guarantees a dry or safe roadway now.

Immediately below the map, use the back and forward controls to change radar frames, Play to animate them, Radar On/Off to show or hide the overlay, the percentage control to adjust opacity, and refresh to load recent radar data.

Weather Center has a destination weather search when you are not using a saved trip, and also displays the destination outlook in the route-weather results. The longer outlook is below the map and daily forecast cards. Check its dates to avoid confusing it with the five travel-day route checkpoints.

No. Return to Trip Planner to change Route Points, overnight stops or destinations, then tap Save Trip. Return to Weather Center to see the updated itinerary. Weather Center is a read-only route view.

Wind arrows indicate direction, and color represents wind strength. Tap a marker to review sustained wind speed, gusts and any available crosswind estimate. Winds at a nearby station or forecast checkpoint can differ from winds on the roadway, especially in exposed areas.

No. Live station readings can lag, weather along roads can differ from sampled locations, and five-day forecasts change. Current NWS alerts are not forecasts of future alerts. Always check official warnings, state road conditions, posted bridge restrictions and local guidance before driving.

My Journal is an optional private travel record for camping stops, photos, notes, expenses and ratings. Open My Journal in the bottom navigation. A free Wehamba account is required to save entries.

Open My Journal or Expenses and use the shared Wehamba sign-in screen. Sign In, Create Account and Forgot Password are available on the same page. New accounts may require a six-digit email verification code. If you already set up a four-digit PIN on this device, you can use the Unlock button for quick sign-in. On a new device, sign in with your email and password first, then set up the PIN in My Journal.

Tap Add to My Journal in a supported Camping map or Trip Planner location popup, or open My Journal and choose Add a New Stop – Drop a Pin for a location not already on the map.

Add the visit date, camping type, state, city or town, fees and notes. Camping type and state are needed for reliable Journal map filtering. You can also attach up to two photos and a private one-to-five-star rating.

Nightly, Weekly and Monthly camping fees have separate fields. Fuel and Other expenses are recorded separately. Enter amounts in the appropriate fields rather than adding fuel to the overnight fee.

Open My Journal and select My Saved Stops. Newest entries are listed first. Expand a saved location to see its details, photos, rating and expenses, and use View Location to find it on the map.

Choose My Map to see your saved locations. Filter by State or camping Type, or search by city or town. If a stop is missing, check its State and Type fields and reset the filters to All.

Journal ratings are for your own account. Treat your Journal as personal travel information and avoid sharing private photos or locations publicly. The Journal is separate from public Google business ratings.

After signing in, choose Expense Planner on your Journal dashboard, or tap Expenses in the bottom navigation. Both use your existing Wehamba account.

Yes, with Expense Planner v0.1.6 or newer. Actual Fuel, Total Camping Paid and Other expenses from your private Journal appear automatically as read-only items in Expenses. They count toward monthly totals and reports using the Journal stop arrival date. Nightly, weekly and monthly reference rates are not counted. Edit these costs in My Journal, not Expenses. Avoid recording the same charge a second time manually in Expenses.

Trip Planner and My Journal are separate features. Clearing a route in Trip Planner does not mean deleting Journal entries. To change or remove a Journal entry, use the Journal controls.

Nearby Services helps you look for useful businesses and emergency or travel-related services when you are on the road. Examples can include RV repair, mobile tire help, towing, fuel, medical care, veterinarians, pharmacies and restaurants.

Open Services from the bottom menu, choose the type of service you need and use Live Location. Allow location access if your phone asks. Select your search radius if that option is available, then run the search.

Yes. Choose the service you need, then search for a town or city instead of using Live Location. This is useful when you want to find help farther down the road before you get there.

Turn on Open now only when you want results limited to businesses reported as currently open. Business hours can change, so call the business if timing is important.

Open the service result card. When available, you can use the displayed phone information or open the Google listing for more details and directions.

Business listings, hours, phone numbers and availability can change. Nearby Services uses third-party place information, so verify important details directly with the business before driving there.

Expenses is a private travel-finance tool for recording camping costs, fuel, groceries, maintenance and other spending, plus income. You can review monthly totals, create budgets, manage recurring schedules and export records. Open Expenses in the bottom navigation or choose Expense Planner on your My Journal dashboard.

No. My Journal and Expenses use the same Wehamba account. If you are already signed in, open Expenses directly. Otherwise use the familiar Sign In, Create Account or Forgot Password options on the Expenses page.

Yes, if you have already enabled PIN quick sign-in for your Wehamba account on that device. Tap Unlock Expenses to use it. On a new or restored device, sign in with email and password first; PIN setup and account settings are in My Journal.

Overview shows monthly totals and spending charts. Transactions lists individual income and expense entries. Budgets tracks spending limits. Recurring manages repeat payments and income. Reports summarizes spending and offers a CSV export.

Tap + Add Entry, choose Expense or Income, then select the date, amount and category. You may also add a description, business or payee, trip name, miles and notes. Tap Save to record it. Use the appropriate category, such as Fuel, Camping & RV Parks, Groceries or Retirement.

At the top of the Expenses page, tap the month selector next to View Month (for example, Nov 2026). Select the month you want to review. The Overview, Transactions and Reports sections update to show that month. The transaction date determines which month receives the amount.

Open Transactions, select the correct month and use the search and Expense/Income filters. Choose Edit to correct a manually entered transaction or Delete to remove it. Deleting an entry permanently changes the totals and budget figures, so confirm the record before deleting it.

Open Budgets and tap + Set Budget. Choose Monthly, enter the month as YYYY-MM, set a spending limit and choose All for the overall budget or a specific spending category. The Overview shows your total monthly budget remaining when an All-category monthly budget exists.

Yes. Enter the same Trip name on relevant income or expense entries. In Budgets, choose Named trip and enter that exact trip name to set a trip spending limit. Trip budget progress uses matching recorded expenses across dates; it does not automatically import the saved route from Trip Planner.

Open Recurring, tap + New Schedule, and enter the amount, category, next due date and weekly, monthly or yearly frequency. Due schedules are not posted automatically. Review them and tap Post due entries when you want to add the transactions. You can edit, pause or remove a schedule.

Creating a recurring schedule does not add an expense or income transaction. It is counted only after you choose Post due entries. The planner protects against posting the same scheduled occurrence more than once, but avoid also entering the same payment manually unless that is what you intend.

Expenses is money spent, Income is money received, and Net cash flow is Income minus Expenses for the selected month. Budget remaining compares recorded expenses with the monthly All-category spending limit. A negative cash flow or negative remaining budget is shown when spending exceeds the comparison amount.

Open Reports, choose the From and Through dates, and tap Export CSV. The downloaded CSV can be opened in Excel or another spreadsheet app. It includes transaction details and notes, so keep exported files private. PDF reports and receipt attachments are not yet available.

Your finances remain private. With Expense Planner v0.1.6 or newer, your own Journal Fuel, Camping Paid and Other costs are included automatically in Expenses dashboards and reports. These Journal rows are read-only in Expenses: nothing is copied into the Expense database. Edits and deletions in My Journal are reflected when Expenses refreshes. Trip Planner mileage is not yet imported.

Tap Sign Out at the top right of the Expense Planner controls. You return to the Wehamba Expenses sign-in screen. Signing out ends the shared Wehamba account session, so My Journal will also ask you to sign in when you return.

First make sure Location Services are turned on for your phone. Then make sure Wehamba has permission to use your location. Return to the map and tap My Location or the feature's GPS button again.

Give the map a moment to finish loading, then tap My Location again. If it still does not move, check your phone's location permission and GPS setting, close and reopen the page, and try again.

Close and reopen that page first. If it still looks blank, return to another Wehamba page and open it again. Also make sure your phone has an internet connection because maps and place information require online data.

Refresh or reopen the page so Wehamba can load the latest web content. If you have had the app open for a long time, fully closing and reopening the app can also refresh the current content.

Travel and business information can change. Verify anything important before relying on it, then use Contact to tell us what appears incorrect so we can investigate the listing or data.

Return to Trip Planner and confirm the trip is saved. Reopen the other map and enable My Trip. If the route changed, save it again in Trip Planner before switching maps.

Forecast at Arrival needs a valid future date and time to estimate weather when you will reach each checkpoint. Select the departure date and daily miles, then tap Check My Trip Weather. Live Weather Now does not need a departure date.

To keep the route readable, the map may show one representative marker per travel day when zoomed out. Zoom in to see up to three forecast checkpoints per day.

Radar shows recent precipitation, Live Weather Now uses nearby station reports and Forecast at Arrival shows future hourly predictions. Check the time displayed and tap the marker for details; none of these sources guarantees current road conditions.

Check that the saved entry includes both a State and camping Type. Reset the Journal map State, Type and city filters, then try again. If necessary, reopen the saved stop and confirm its location.

Expenses and My Journal share the same account session. If you signed out, your session expired or you switched devices, sign in with the same email and password. Your existing entries stay attached to your account. If needed, open Forgot Password from the sign-in screen.

Open Transactions and confirm the entry date, selected month and any search or Income/Expense filter. For expenses saved in My Journal, Expenses uses the Journal stop arrival date. For example, an October 31 Journal expense appears in October, even if you added it in November. Journal reference prices such as Nightly Rate are not counted: actual Fuel, Camping Paid and Other amounts are.

Open Help and tap Contact Wehamba to reach us directly. You can also join the Wehamba Facebook community from this Help page to ask a question, share feedback or suggest an improvement.
