I am worried about losing my T25's roof!!! I know that you can purchase cds in order to download low bridges onto a satnav. Any recommendations? Any help would be much appreciated especially by t25 who wants to keep his roof?!
Thanks

Look out of the big bit of glass in front of you, rather than at your FatChav screen?

That was a nasty reply! Its always causing me concern that I might come on a low bridge and then have to execute some hideous three point turn past some point of no return! but honestly I think it doesnt happen very often ; my holdsworth vision is 2.4 m approx and there arent that many bridges that low; or maybe ive been lucky! but I did drive 5000 miles across europe last year so thats quite lucky! You will be fine! Margaret

I very much doubt there are many.If any bridges that low.

There is one in Chester



And it has caught a few vans out too !

Just lower you van. I can now fit in our new Tesco carpark. The difference 50mm makes!!

Where exactly is tht bridge? What height is on the sign?

Would setting your satnav to Truck not avoid it?

I came across a low one like that also - had to do a uturn on a busy little country road - makes you feel a right plonker!

Unfortunately not. Almost all of the satnav companies out there like to make you pay for extras like weight/width/height limits. If you do happen to have a satnav with 'full truck mode' then it will almost certainly send you the long way......... Unless you can E D I T the info (weight/width/height).
I put mine on the 'scales' at work (tells you the three important data as above). Mine is 8foot9 empty

I have a sticker on my dash saying the height in english and metric

Ditto.

Boughton hall Rd, Chester and 7ft 9".
Even when we used the TinTop, we used to have to stop and take the CB aerial off.

I wonder how high our new Leisure Drive is

Thank you for everyone's responses. I am probably just getting over worried about it!!

Yes more than likely - I mean, what are the chances??
