gps phone app

We will be traveling cross country soon and will either have to upgrade our present GPS to one that will have low clearance and is for RV. I have seen some phone apps that offer RV routes, but don't know much about them. On I came across is SMART RV ROUTE. Anyone have experience with this one or another?

    Since you are traveling across country in a rig that is about the same height as most commercial truck tractor/trailers, ask yourself how many of them have their I-phones wedged up on the dash using them for navigation.....I suspect none of them do.

    If you want to make sure you are traveling safely on the correct roads for your height, weight, and other specifications you need 3 things:
    1) RV or Truck GPS
    2) Current Trucker's Atlas
    3) Pay attention to each and every sign while driving.
