LHunter42 Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 My husband, and I recently purchased a Landmark 365, and the height is 13’ 3”. We were wondering if there is a great app, gps, that would show low clearances. Any insight would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShannonJ Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 We have a 13’ 4” fifth wheel. There are specialized gps devices but we wanted to use our truck’s nav display so we subscribe to LowClearances.com. That subscription allows us to download and install POI files with the location of thousands of low clearance locations. We downloaded the POI file directly into the Chevy Nav system and also into Google Maps which we can then use with Apple Car Play. This does not route around low clearances, simply shows them on the map. That’s not a problem for us because I typically map the next days travel in advance. I also use RVTripWizard for trip planning before we leave. RVTripWizard also shows low clearance locations although not as many as LowClearances.com.

Chad Heiser Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 I also use CoPilot, but on an iPad. It allows you to set the parameters (height, weight, etc.) of your rig and will route you around obstacles based on those parameters.

chiefneon Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 Howdy! Like others I have been using Co-pilot for years as a fulltimer on my tablet and phone. When we purchased our Cyclone TH and I found out that it was 13’4” I purchased the Co-pilot truck. It has kept us safe throughout our travels, even in the northeast which is know for low clearances. We’ve also used it travel in the Canadian maritimes and a couple of trips to Alaska. Wouldn’t hit the road without it. ” Happy Trails “ Chiefneon Quote "Class of 2007 Fulltimer's" Gary & karen Smoochie & Michaela (fur babies) 2018 Chevorlet 3500 HD/LTZ 2L Custom Hauler 2014 Heartland Cyclone 4000 2016 Smart Car Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray,IN Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) I have two Rand McNally RV GPS units, and old 7730 and a newer model 7. With both you enter your length, height and weight. It will not route you onto unsafe roads based on what you enter, you may choose to avoid dirt roads, small roads, ferries, tunnels, and many other items. The only errors were of my doing, er, not doing/entering properly. Edited August 9, 2020 by Ray,IN Quote 2000 Winnebago Ultimate Freedom USQ40JD, ISC 8.3 Cummins 350, Spartan MM Chassis.

GlennWest Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 I went thru 2 Rand McNally's before I swore them off. Neither lasted very long. Garmins always held up well. But I really like CoPolit truck.
