DW and I continue to be surprised that the same RM version on the iPad and on the system in the coach give different answers to the same beginning and end point with route. We believe we have them set up the same, so it is interesting.

As to bridge weight limits, don't know quite what to make of it. Been over bridge (routed by RM) that had weight limits of 15k. Didn't cave in, thank goodness, but having spent time hauling early in my working days, I have to wonder if our weight distribution is a little different than your typical semi-truck/trailer. Not that that makes a difference legally. It is very rare that you hear of a truck (and I have never heard of a motor coach) caving a bridge in. More common to hear of violations of height restrictions causing a overhead strike.

I agree that we don't hear about an RV caving in a bridge but, let's say I was more than a bit "watertight" going over a 13 ton rated bridge in a 25 ton coach. Of course, let's not even get into what would have happened if the state police would have seen it.

Hello again. Just wanted to again offer up my help with any questions or specifics. I can definitely help troubleshoot and investigate if I have specifics about the route and your vehicle parameters.

Thanks!
