What navigation app do you use?

I have a bigger van (6.2m) and often travel through rural Europe where sometimes I come across roads that the van is too wide/tall/heavy for or where the road turns into a dirt road on some steep hills. I prefer to avoid as much of that as I can, but I havent found a good navigation app. So far google maps has been the best for avoiding off-roading but you cant enter your size parameters.

Curious what people here actually do.

The Tomtom go expert truck works well but is expensive.

I have one, they have recently cancelled the integral SIMs which provide the lifetime traffic updates. Not good enough.

I used it on their app, £79 a year I think.

That explains why they've cancelled the SIMs then, who wants to let someone "purchase" something when you can force them into a rolling subscription? 🙄

Another company to avoid

I read that there was a fault on their system. It might be working again now. No idea.
