You don't need a special app for that. Just enter "Bubble Level" into Google and you get one.

Copilot Truck

If you have a big rig CoPilot Truck is really good. All map data is stored locally on your phone or tablet, so when you get out of cell range, it still works, unlike Google Maps. It knows where the low height and low weight bridges and tunnels are, as well as high center RR crossings and the like.

I like to camp in a lot of areas where there is no cell service. That is why the app works so well for me..also not all phones will support the app. I just tried it.

IEXIT is a great app to have. Instead of buying the book every year, once purchased you get free updates. And it is much easier to use than paging through a book. Open the app, it finds you on the interstate (only good for interstate travel) and you can see all the upcoming exits on your route including rest areas and it tells you whether the amenity is right or left at the exit and the distance. Wish I could find an equivalent for US routes. Gas Buddy, Yelp, and a weather app are great too.

Wow! You guys need to just GO and enjoy the trip. Take things as they come. This is way too much planning. We succeeded very well for 16 years of full-timing without any apps. with paper maps and with a 40' MH.

I agree with that. Most of the things use the apps to do can be done one your computer before you leave - it is all about planning.
