Hi there
Do modern built in sat nav's have features like the lorry sat nav's that allow you to put weight height etc in to avoid low bridges or narrow roads or are they just like normal car Nav systems ?

Dunno about the standard Fiat Ducato satnav but mine came with a Pioneer (avic something or other) and it was camper specific in that you could enter heights, widths, etc and it would route accordingly.

To be honest, some of the routings were a bit iffy in that it would send me miles on a roundabout route to avoid a road that I’d easily fit down.

Ended up using googlemaps on my phone as it’s far superior.

I think the TomTom built into our 2017 Ducato based MH is a standard car one...which is pretty useless really.

I use a Garmin 760 Camper which you specify the dimensions of your vehicle and is spot on and has never got it wrong (so far!).
