We caravan a lot and if we are not careful our TomTom will take us down a road that is totally unsuitable for the caravan. It does not matter whether you choose shortest or fastest route.
Is there a reasonably priced Satnav that can be programmed to avoid roads with a width of less than for example "x feet" etc? I would imagine it would be similar to one a HGV driver woudl use to avoid being taken down narrow back roads. Needs to be post code enabled also. thanks.
