I've had the 1 year sub. Problem is it doesn't route around low bridges, just gives a warning ding on the gps as you approach like any poi. You install them with the garmin poi loader.

Better than nothing but I don't think it is better than a gps with the ability to avoid low bridges based on a height profile you enter -or an app like co pilot that does same. With low clearance it is best to trip plan with several sources.
OK, so =some= GPS units do have the capability to take a height and route you around low clearances? This Nuvi was given to me, with lifetime updates, so I'm not anxious to spend more money on another GPS. :-) I'm just looking at the huge d.b. that Route-1 shows, compared to others as it's that one that doesn't show up that'll getcha. Do you have to get the Trucker version of Co-Pilot to get the ability to enter heights?
