App for Caravan friendly routes

Post by Stu » Thu Aug 16, 2018 9:32 pm

Has anyone got a recommendation for caravan friendly routes via an app?

I thought I’d ask here first to see if anyone is using anything good.

I use co pilot and de proprieties minor routes. Emma also looks at the map to minimise the white roads where possible.

Map? I’ve honestly not owned a map since 2002!

Satnav app for trucks? If such a thing exists.

As per Bodsy, I use Co-Pilot who do a 'van friendly version. I just use their phone app rather than a separate hardware version. The app allows you to specify the size of your vehicle (car+'van) and total weight, and then this info is used to plan the routes.

At some point I may have a 'van again and can get to use it again, but in the 3 uses it's had so far it has found appropriate (yet longer than Google map) routes.
