Re: Garmin 1090 Route Issue
What is the value of this device if I have to research every DOT site for where I am traveling? To set up the unit the user has to enter vehicle info including height, width, weight etc and is supposed to keep you off of roads with lanes too narrow, bridges to low or underweight. That is the entire premise of the device!

From the MD DOT page Any oversize or overweight vehicle and any vehicle and load together exceeding 96 inches (8 feet) in width or 13 feet 6 inches in height is prohibited from entering the Baltimore Harbor Tunnels and its approaches

Garmin 1090 Route Issue
Planning a trip north going through Baltimore in a Class A. Garmin route takes me through the McHenry Tunnel, which I am too wide for. Max width in the tunnel is 8' and my MH is 8.5'. 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?
