RV route ap?
I just downloaded Trucker Path, but it doesn't understand that parkways don't allow trailers, so I'm wondering what else out is wrong about. Any good aps out there for low bridges, and other things t...

What exactly is a parkway?
1. A broad thoroughfare with a dividing strip or side strips planted with grass, trees, etc. 2. Chiefly New York State and Western New England. a strip of grass, sometimes planted with trees or shrubs, between a sidewalk and curb.
The main road into my neighborhood is a twisty, bumpy, double lane road with a speed limit of 35 mph named Yosemite Springs Parkway.
Would you expect a mapping program to know that although this street is named a parkway that trailers are not prohibited?
It seems to me that a mapping program should know about all roads that prohibit trailers, no matter what kind of road it is.
How about highway 108 over Sonora Pass. 9 percent grade on the east side. Summit at 9,000 feet. From about 8,00 feet up they did not waste any paint for a line down the middle.
Around 8,000 feet there is a sign that says trailers not advised. How should a mapping program know that? Actually, it is not all that hard to get to the first campground past the warning sign. After that is when it gets tough. How does mapping software know that the road is actually usable when towing a trailer for several miles after the warning sign?
