This is true. It's partly because the major mapping companies aren't really interested in capturing the data. They wouldn't make nearly enough money to make it worthwhile. It's also because it's a hard problem to solve. A quiet single track with great forward visibility to well marked passing spots is narrow. But it's easy to use. A road not quite wide enough for a centre line, that's winding, busy, no passing points and has high hedges immediately next to the road and frequent trucks coming the other way could be a nightmare. But if it's only a 100m long and saves you 15 minutes, you'd probably risk it, right?All the RV/truck routing apps only are as good as the road data they have in the maps - I think this is the weak point at the moment. There are many times when I have been sent down a narrow road even though I have told the app I am in a wide vehicle. It must be road width data that is just missing.
I always go back to Google Maps. If/when it tells you to turn into a side road that looks like you're going up someone's garden path, it usually has a grey marker telling you how much longer it is to go the other way at that junction. If it says "+2 mins" to continue on the main road, it's an obvious choice. I find this incredibly useful when you've got up make snap decisions. I don't think any of the other SatNavs so this?I tried it, but always go back to Waze and a Garmin motorbike satnav.
Both will sometimes try & take me down roads i know aren't suitable.

I totally agree. A good car orientated satnav is better than any size aware SatNav I've tried. Only once has it failed. Approaching a Spanish town with narrow streets and city walls from the middle of nowhere, I wasted 20 minutes getting directed towards the same 3 "avoid this road" entry roads. I had to stop and check the map to figure out I needed to back track a few km and turn up a side road that would take me around the outside and towards the main road in.We just use Waze these days along with the mk2 eyeball for width and height restrictions (ie, if there is one, continue driving until it reroutes). TBH it happens so rarely it's not even worth preplanning we've found as long as you not going to somewhere back of beyond... we have made sure Waze follows the site directions in nearer the end of the trip if it's not defaulted to it. A site we visited a weekend ago had a "avoid this road", so when Waze tried to take it, we continued, and it rerouted to preferred route within 30 seconds.
SHould add there are also so many "free" voices on Waze you can even have Batman at some times of year giving you directions.

I think a dedicated satnav with all the maps permanently downloaded in it is much more important than anything else. I know you can download some maps on google and waze but I found it very fiddly and I it keeps in losing them, after all they only give you maps for fee so they can track where you are going!
It might just be me but maps - that are easy to update - but all downloaded and stored on a phone/tablet app or dedicated unit is the way to go!

The Android app is called "Sygic Truck & Caravan". You then buy a license for either trucks or for caravans/motorhomes within the app. It's then an additional license to get Android Auto. Not sure about Car Play.I can find only 2 versions on their website “Sygic Truck and Caravan GPS” and “Sygic GPS”.
Where did you find a Caravan version that supports Apple CarPlay? The Sygic Truck and Caravan” version does not support Apple CarPlay.
Never pay full price for anything from Sygic. They have a sale almost every week where they offer discountsOh that’s new. £35!!! Madness. But thanks for finding it!

I don’t use it. I’m not a fan of CarPlay, and just have iPad dash mounted. All apps are worse on CarPlay.I bought the car okay add on. Works but useless as doesn’t give you the amount of info I get on my iPad which I also use. Don’t waste money on it
It came as part of the Pioneer package on our 23 Ducato, we use it on Android Auto.....Does anyone have any experience of using this SYGIC app, it looks good on paper, works with Apple Car Play and allows dimensions of vehicle etc. Also has speed camera alerts and traffic alerts as extras.
