actualy you can avoid dirt roads in waze and you can always change it from fastest route to shortest route if you don't want it to recalculate.

People and You Tube make it sound worse than it is. In my lifetime I have only ever seen a small handful of bridges too low for a semi, much less an RV. Codes are codes, and unless it's historical or there's just no reason for a commercial truck to enter that road, it's really not an issue.
That's for sure! Everything is exaggerated online. This topic, especially in one famous Facebook RV forum, can be like a cult. Both the cult of Google Maps and the cult of Garmin are both present in that forum. It's crazy!
Agreed. While rare low bridges exist they are almost always on roads that are obvious you shouldn't be taking the rv down.
Even when they do exist, they sign the heck out of them, so you should have no prob avoiding them.
That's true until it's not true. At this intersection, what is obvious that tells you shouldn't turn left at this intersection?

Granted, I cannot cite 5 more examples like this in my 17 years of RVing.
There is no right or wrong here. There's no award for proving that Google Maps is sufficient or that an RV-specific navigation tool is required. Everyone should use the tool that they want to use.
haha ya that would suck. up here they would have signs well ahead saying no rv's or commercial vehicles. or it would have been fixed to a minimum height of 13.6 or what ever it is. any areas that have what could be deemed restricted access are well posted.
