Truckers on the budget will opt for the cheapest device as long as there is no significant penalty for getting stuck between the trees.

But will the existing routing software proparly take them into account when calculating the route? I believe existing satnav software enables you to find such a POI nearby, and even calculates the optimal route to it ... but am afraid this is not the goal here. "Where is the nearest low bridge and how do i get to it?" isn't exactly the question someone would ask. Or are there such things as "POIs to avoid"? greets, Stefan _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
