Does any GPS warn of low bridges, propane restricted, etc for motorhomes?

look at some of the GPS's for truckers and such....I've seen some specially made for them at Flying J and PETRO, etc, and I think that information might be in those units

I don't know what kind of GPS you have, but i do know that these Garmin updates will direct you to low bridges and logging trails, which was a lot of fun when I was hauling a fifth wheel.

I don't personally know but you can try asking RV owners at blog site iRV2 Forums, a free service.

Yes, you can set a custom range that will let the termometer alert you when you'r out of range. Don't lose the instruction page or you'll have to find a You Tube video on how to do it. It's not very intuitive.

there is a weather alert test button that allows you to confirm the weather alert functions...if you don't have the owners manual you can search on google the type of midland radio you have and pull up the owners manual there.

Sorry, I don't know. I had the program less than 24 hours. On my 2009 version of Trailer Life Campground navigator, I can have it avoid tunnels and advise roadway elevation warnings in percentages.

Any GPS antenna will work. The TRAM has a BNC plug - and you might need to get an adapter for the sonar unit -- hard to find them saying "GPS external antenna connector type." I looked a bit.

While it supposedly does identify some restrictions beyond height/width/weight, I can't certify that it is perfect in that regard. Most propane restrictions are not absolute bans, so you can always shut off the tank for those (usually tunnels). As an engineer I am always intrigued by specific propane regulations since the gasoline in every vehicle tank poses at least an equal danger. The only advice I can give is check regulations on any tunnel you anticipate using, and perhaps ferries and major bridges.

I don't think so but I haven't played with it much yet. You may be able to sign up for such alerts directly from your power company once the device is online. That's what I did with San Diego Gas & Electric.

I use this GPS in my tractor trailer, but it has settings for motor home or car. You just input your vehicles' specifics; height, length, width, weight. I've been more than satisfied with this product!

I have used one, and it does NOT announce streets by name. The description is quite wrong.

I have found that it does not pay any attention to the info you put in. My roadmate tries to put me on a parkway (cars only Low bridges). I do not trust the unit and always check the route it gives. My advice would be to change the info when you are using it for the truck. My wife bought the GPS even after I told her about bad reviews.

Leslie, did you ever figure it out? I just started traveling towing a 18' trailer with 3 dogs and I need to buy a good GPS that will avoid those steep grades if possible, but also lead me to the closest campgrounds, groceries and gas. There are too many choices and it is so confusing. Looking for advice from someone who has figured it out! Thanks!

The 9970g has gps which is great for warning you of speed trap areas and of photo red lights. Advance warning is superb - it picks up twice as far as my older detectors.

I believe it does. You can add it to, for example, a Redline which has no GPS. It will use the GPS in your phone. But the lockouts are MANUALLY done by the user. It can also reduce some falses on a Max because it knows the Posted Speed Limit. If you are below the Posted Speed Limit it will not do a normal alert. It will go into "Cruise" mode with a short alert and go silent.

As long as your Lowrance has NEMA connections,and you properly wire it,as mine took a bit to get right.Mine is interfaced with a Garmin,and as soon as it finds satalites,your ICOM will display "GPS" and will also display gps cordinates,time,etc.It took some reading of the manual,but I will never go back,I love the fact that I have one distress button to hold in case of emergency and help some shape or form will come.Oh ya dont forget to register your boats name..etc..so you can get a MMSI # (its free)and program that # into your radio,so when/if you need to use the DISTRESS button the Coast Guard know exactly who's calling. Good Luck

The G offers the GPS uploads Free from cobra. You just sync your 650G with the only database and it marks things like known speed traps, High traffic accident locations.. and stuff like that. Mine has warned me numerous times with the speedtrap alert when the posted road speeds just changed. I am very happy with mine and I have make several trips from Nashville TN, to Detroit Mi.
