Phone Apps for low clearance overpasses and tunnels

Does anyone know of any apps that are available that will identify low clearance tunnels and overpasses on a route? If so, what are your opinions about them? Thanks in advance

RV Parks, shows gas stations campgrounds and low clearance areas and you can plan your route on it also it'll give you guidance. I use it on my Android phone.

I loaded this app on my phone. Can't seem to locate anything about clearances. Is this something that automatically comes up during a route? Does the app route me around these areas?

CoPilot is a GP routing app that has a height knowledgeable road database. You set your RV height and it won't route you down roads that have overhead obstructions.

Nick there is a yellow bridge looking thing if you click on it it will tell you that it is low clearance. I had to play around with it to find it out. Never looked at copilot but I will.

All stays Truck & Travel. It is my back up bible to my routing bible which is Rand McNally Motor Carrier Road Atlas. No other way to go. Also our GPS is a regular car one that only is a guidanced for upcoming exits etc. No other fasncy stuff needed in 9 years. Never a bad situation
And yes we run the roiads not the interstate

CoPilot app for phones works has weight, length and height inputs. Beware the weight only goes upto 26k.

Co-pilot GPS app as mentioned above, been using it for years and it hasn't steered me wrong.
