Low Bridges

[Trooper-D]

I have recently had a few close calls with low bridges that could easily have resulted in a bad accident.

Does anyone know of a good GPS system or add on for my Garmin that would give a low bridge warning?

Something like a speed camera POI list could work, but I can't seem to find anything.

Many thanks.

The newest Rand I have has a list of low clearances in it. So yes, it can be used to plan your routes a little more in detail.

And there is a way to put POI in your Garmin. I have never tried it, but am sure someone here knows how. I was not aware that it takes another software program to do it though. But then I don't know everything.

Check out the conversation in this thread: Garmin Nuvi 465T GPS For Truckers GPS Review. You will learn more than you ever need to know about POIs and Garmins. If I read the posts correctly, Gary Snay will send you his collection of trucking related POIs if you request such via email. Good luck.

Thanks everyone for your helpful advice.

I have decided to try a POI database that has been recommended to me on several forums.

You can download it at Low Clearance GPS Data

It looks really good.

Thanks again.
