Low Bridges

I have recently had a few close calls with low bridges that could easily have resulted in a bad accident.

Does anyone know of a good GPS system or add on for my Garmin that would give a low bridge warning?

Something like a speed camera POI list could work, but I can't seem to find anything.

Many thanks.

I have decided to try a POI database that has been recommended to me on several forums.

You can download it at http://www.lowclearances.com

It looks really good.

I just sent this email to lowclearances.com after reading the reviews. I am suspect of any software or GPS unit claiming to alert to clearances off major routes.

You say your downloadable software contains low-clearance alerts on and off the major routes.

What do you mean by off the major routes.

Does your system alert for low clearances nationwide on county, state and local roads?

I ask because I have never, ever seen anyone with a database such as this.

I suspect it only alerts for mapped routes such as included in RM's truck atlas.

Thank you.

(Also, aside from the question above, is your software compatible with Nuvi 260?)
