Low Clearance App
What app are you using for low clearances. I understand that Waze does not have that option.

lowclearances.com looks great! Thanks for sharing.
I switch between the CoPilot and RV Life apps. Both have kept us clear of trouble so far.

Be careful! LowClearances.com has a serious flaw, unless they've fixed it lately! You set the distance that you want to be warned and it alerts you to everything within that distance, even if the low clearance is on another road other than the one you're traveling on!

Our Garmin GPS let's us set length and height statistics of our rig. It automatically routes us away from low bridges.

I didn't think Lowclearances.com had anything to do with warning distance or direction - they just provide the height data as POI for the GPS or map program. The particular GPS navigator decides what is important to show to you and when to use it.
When I used it with a couple different GPS Nav systems, a Garmin and a TomTom, I got alerts on my specific route if I had one programmed, but on all nearby streets if I did not have planned route. That way I was made aware of things that might impact my choice of roads.

Truckmap app!
Free from apple store. GPS with truck routes, low clearance along with a ton of other cool stuff. Tap a button to see every upcoming exit with a Pilot, Loves, TA, Flying J, even Walmarts. We used it on our last 1000 mile trip and it was awesome. Will be using this app exclusively when towing our fiver.

RV TripWizard shows you most of the low clearance bridges. I have found that it does not always show tunnels that are two low like at the south end of the Blue Ridge Parkway or US 90 through Mobile AL. Alstays missed a few when we used to use that.
You have to stay alert no matter what apps you use!
