GPS for steep grades
Are there any units or phone apps that will warn us when we are approaching a steep grade? Would love to hear something like, “7% grade 5 miles ahead”. We will be traveling from Maryland to Oakland ...

Sorry I offended anyone but Just within 500 miles of here I routinely pass motor homes on I-77, I-40, I-81, I-79 that are going up hills less than 35mph and once in awhile see one on the side of the road boiling over from the heat. Remember everyone that has one of these don't have a 450hp motor, unlimited money, or a new 2018 model. And some are just frugal. Its all good.
You post this as if going up the hill at 35 MPH is a bad thing. That's not a problem, it's just a driver who knows what his vehicle is capable of and knows how to drive it. The vehicles on the side of the road that overheated just didn't have that information. It's not about age or money. It's about knowing how to drive the vehicle you have control of.
