Keep your rig clear of low bridges
There's a low bridge up ahead, and the van is still on the back. This helps you avoid that. Pick what you're in and set its height. The route then goes around roads your rig is too tall, too wide or too long for. It also avoids roads closed to caravans.
1Open Menu, then Route
Tap Menu, then the Route tab. Scroll down past Plan with AI to Vehicle for this route. Tap the button for your rig. Caravan is a car or 4x4 with a caravan. There's also Motorhome, Campervan and 4x4. Your pick is for this route only. Use my usual rig puts it back.
2Check the size it plans for
A line under the buttons shows the size the app plans for. For a motorhome it says Planning for 3 m tall · 7.5 m long · 3.5 t. Towing behind a 4x4, Campervan or Motorhome? Tick Towing a caravan or trailer. This adds 6.5 m and the caravan's weight. It also plans you as tall as a caravan, 2.7 m, unless your vehicle is taller.
3Set your own height
Each rig starts with a standard height. We set it on the tall side to be safe. If yours is different, tap change next to Height. It's just under the size line. Pick your height from the list. It goes from 1.5 m to 4 m, in steps of 10 cm. If your app uses imperial units, it shows feet. It saves as you pick, and shows (yours). To go back, pick Standard.
4Plan Route, then read Warnings
Add your start and end, and tap Plan Route. The route stays off roads with a posted height, width or length your rig won't fit. It also stays off roads closed to caravans. Then look under Warnings in the Route Summary. Any posted limit still on the route is listed there. It could be a low bridge, or the height bar at a campsite gate. It's marked in red on the map too.
Good to know
The app only knows the limits that are in its map data. Plenty of real signs aren't there yet. So the signs on the road always come first. You can only set the height. Width, length and weight come from the vehicle you pick. The check for low bridges and height bars needs signal. With no signal, the app still keeps off the signed roads it has stored on your phone. A campervan or 4x4 on its own gets warnings about posted limits. A caravan, a motorhome or anything towing also gets a route that goes around them.
Also in the app: maps that work with no signal, campsites and aires, and Plan with AI. It plans routes for seven kinds of vehicle, from an enduro bike to a motorhome.
