Hi,
The best suggestion I can give is to click on the Search button in the bar at the top of this page and paste "width restriction POI" into the 'search for keywords' box.
Make sure you select 'Search for all terms' and you should get 7 results (including this topic)

Most of the other topics in that list have useful info and links for places where you will find Low Bridge POIs.

The only problem with using POIs for this, though, is that most SatNavs can't devise a route witch avoids a certain POI type completely in advance, they can only warn you as you get close to them, by which time it's probably too late.

I don't know what SatNav you were hoping to use the POIs with, but a professional alternative is TomTom's "Truck" solution, which uses a modified TomTom Go (x20 series I believe, called the 7000) and a special "Truck" map, which has all the width and height restrictions built in, and CAN calculate routes to avoid them. But the whole system costs quite a bit from TT themselves and there's not a lot of info about it.

THIS PLACE sells a "Truck" map on an SD card and says it works in a range of TomTom models, if that's any use? (but I don't think it is a particularly "latest" map version)
