Called and talked to Garmin support and they said to submit a map error.
Discussed this is a fundamental map problem, not a map 'error'. The rep did not want to hear about it or discuss it. Was told you must do your planning properly.
This is nuts! What is the value of the GPS if it routes through a tunnel that will not allow the vehicle?
All of the input parameters are correct in the 1090, for height, width, weight etc and all maps are up to date.
Any one else have these problems?
You can never depend 100% on any GPS device. As you were told, you need to do your planning and ensure the route is right for you.
