Google maps on my smart phone tried to take me down a road with a 10'3" railroad underpass. My Vegas is 11'3". There was a sign, but it was after the turn and wasn't visible until I almost made the turn. Had I not caught it, I would have had to take the car off to turn everything around.
I once dragged my 5th wheel up a road that said "No Trucks" for a good reason. Found out you could overheat a Ram diesel! Garmin wouldn't have let me go up that one, either.
Garmin and I don't always agree on the routing. Still, it does keep me out of awkward situations. If we are in a time rush, I'll check the route with the Waze ap, to check for traffic issues.
