Are there any satnavs that avoid speedbumps?
Discussion
I use Waze at the moment, and whilst it is good at avoiding traffic, it has a really annoying tendency to take me over millions of speed bumps. The narrow speed cushions are the worst, as my car is wide enough to straddle them but not high enough to clear them. The only way to clear them is to drive in the middle of the road, very slowly. This is a bit painful and rarely faster than a smoother and slightly more congested route.
Are there any apps or satnavs that are supercar friendly and avoid urban obstacles?

Was thinking about this the other day as I had to get my Superleggera through a 6'6" width restriction which appeared out of nowhere (so to speak!!) down a B road. It was a pretty painful experience but managed to clear it-just.
I looked into it and only HGV Sat Navs have that capability apparently-can't comment on speed humps mind you.

Sadly not, but assume anything not an A road will probably have them in built up areas. Failing that, potholes worse than Nairobi's.
This is why I have a Range Rover for London driving. I can drive up to the posted speed limit without needing to worry about my splitter (my Alfa 156) or sump guard (my Alfa Spider). RRs also do 6"6" gaps.
Quite why local authorities think they are entitled to put equipment in place designed to destroy vehicles which are not breaking the law is beyond me, as is how they get away with it.

On your way to visit your old mate.. I looked into it and only HGV Sat Navs have that capability apparently-can't comment on speed humps mind you.
Add to this a nav that will exclude single track roads...
Google Maps seemed to be obsessed with sending me down these in my 458, because they were superficially quicker - e.g. NSL speed limit. If you actually went anywhere close to NSL down these roads it would be like you were in WRC or something.
