Guide book or website about steep/twisted/rough roads?
Is there a guide to tell me where the road ahead will have a steep grade? Or will not be recommended for a long class a or fifth wheel? Or be too rough to drive?

Usually asking for the quickest route avoids these minor roads because they are slow. But in this case it was enough shorter going over the mountains that the choice made the top list.
See, that's the problem.
Google had me at like 6:37 going over treacherous Hwy 175 and 6:42 if I continued West on 20 and then took 101 on down. If you're in a car... going the suggested turn speeds... and don't mind the curves... then 175's a little quicker.
But in an old, tipsy motorhome....
I'm quite certain it added a ton of time while turning my girls green.
Sure would be nice if there was an "RV" setting for alternate routes. Doesn't seem like the software would be that difficult to write. Google already has the terrain mode. If it sees heavy changes in elevation... PLUS some serious curves... and there's another route that is only a few minutes longer... then offer it as a freakin' alternative. Is that so hard?
So... speaking of google terrain... is there anything lbrjet's program can do that google terrain can't?
