It is recommended that you take a look at the online tutorial, which contains basic information and directions on how the program works.  After clicking on Help, click on the Contents tab, and then on Trailer Life RV Campground Finder Tutorial.  Sections are provided on Getting Started,  moving around the map, finding a campground, printing, creating and using User Views, and much more.

1.   Make sure the CD-ROM disk is in the CD-ROM drive.

2.   In the program, select "File", "Configure", “Map Data Drive”.

3.   Select proper drive for location for map data.

It is possible that the cursor has zoomed to areas not in the United States such as Canada or Mexico.  Click the "Zoom USA" button to view the entire continent.

It is possible that the program can’t locate the data on the CD-ROM disk, that the spelling is incorrect, or that the street or city isn’t in the database.
 

1. Make sure the CD-ROM disk is in the CD-ROM drive.
 
2. Check the spelling of the street or place. Occasionally, unexpected spaces in words are found in
    the directory. For example, when looking for "DeKalb, IL", traditionally spelled as one word, the
    search option will only find it if a space is added (De Kalb, IL).

3. Simplify the search by clarifying your entries. As an example, instead of looking for "South State 
    Street" try looking for "State."

If roads do not appear, refer to the question "When I zoom in, the map turns yellow"
