Low Clearance Solutions
I have been trying out various low clearance avoidance tools after witnessing a horrible accident and having a close call myself. Obviously I look out for the signs ahead, but not all bridges are posted and it's no good for planning a route anyway.
So what are the options? Rand McNally Motor Carrier Road Atlas Pros - Much more than a low clearance list, with an abundance of useful information. Cons - Limited to just over 1000 low clearances. Can't use while driving. Costs around $50. POI-Factory.com low clearance POI database for GPS Pros - Free to download. Accurate. Ready to install. Cons - Limited data, not much more than 300 entries. DiscoveryOwners.com low clearance POI database for GPS Pros - Free to download. Accurate. Cons - Limited data, approximately 400 entries. Many duplicates across several databases. Only available in text format. There are also a few fully integrated GPS systems available, but these are very expensive and I cannot vouch for their accuracy or the number of low clearances in their databases. Hope this is of use.

poifactory & discoveryowners are both free sites, in case that's what the links were.

No, there was another one listed, and the poster has been spamming that site in every one of their posts.

Trooper D has been running the same posts about low clearance elsewhere on the internet.
Was there something malicious in the links? I may need to warn some people...

Read the signs? Wear a helmet?

What a maroon!!! :zzz: :zzz: :zzz:
Doesn't he know that all you need to avoid low clearance sites, is to read the signs?? That also works well for construction sites, speed zone changes, hiway interchanges and an entire list of other useful things!!!
