I also have Allstays and RV Parky but they don’t route. They only show campgrounds if you know where you want to look for them. If you know you are going to a certain town you,can see what is available but if you are on a long trip you really don’t know where you might be after 6 hours or 300 miles of driving. RTW shows the campgrounds based on your input.
I’ve just finished a 7000+ mile trip from FL to as far west as Glacier National Park and back home using RVTW. Love it..
Now, I do not download the trip to my GPS, I use google maps or Waze for each leg but double check each other.

I'll 3x rvtripwizzard! And I'm a tightwad and I'm re-upping for my 2nd renewal. With it you can also route by weather, wind, overhead clearance heights, elevations,, and a o much more.. Also for anything over 5 or 6 hours driving.. I can tell it to calculate an avg of X mph (for be that's 50 mph) once we take in fuel, potty, and food stops.. And you can set 3 rings based on any miles you want it to radius (miles from your start or from where you are or you can do it in hours for the radius (s)). And yes we can share with friends and collaborate on routes, vias, campgrounds, etc. And then save and adjust. I use it to also keep notes on particular campsites pros and cons.. Attractions etc.. And can pull those notes, trips, and routes and expenses even years later. Plus that keeps a pretty accurate record of my "tow miles" or miles on my 5ver tires.
I could go on and on.. Again as stated only two drawbacks.. #1 must have internet connection to work on /with it.. #2 doesn't have any live data input from your GPS location on the fly.
But I have 4 GPS systems running (Co-pilot, Google maps satellites, Waze and Rand McNally overdryve 7) and I have allstays.
Just my 2cents worth.. And I had almost 6 months camping and almost 20k miles towing our 5th Wheel in the past 14 months.
