Vehicle Profiles
WARNING
Entering your vehicle profile characteristics does not guarantee
that your vehicle's characteristics will be accounted for in all
route suggestions or that you will receive the warning icons in all
cases. Limitations may exist in the map data such that your
device cannot account for these restrictions or road conditions in
all cases. Always defer to all posted road signs and road
conditions when making driving decisions.
Routing and navigation are calculated differently based on your
vehicle profile. The activated vehicle profile is indicated by an
icon in the status bar. The navigation and map settings on your
device can be customized separately for each vehicle type.
When you activate a camper vehicle profile, the device avoids
including restricted or impassable areas in routes based on the
dimensions, weight, and other characteristics you entered for
your vehicle.
