It, like your phone is only as good as your phone service...but I can anticipate when I might be losing a signal and take a screen shot to use.
NOW...regarding looking ahead for RV parks...I generally begin working a couple hours ahead of our stopping for the day...I depend on RV Parks Reviews...and Google 'RV Parks near (town)...then I read the reviews...make sure they easy to navigate, etc. AND .. I call directly to the office...no reservations through a 2nd party booking.
So there ya go ! If you are pulling a toad...make sure you use Satellite view of gas stations and restaurants...so, again, you can navigate and park with ease.
keep us all posted on your progress !

I have a small, inexpensive, Samsung tablet I use that is WiFi only: I tell google maps to download all the map data for our next trip so it doesn't need an internet connection.
