REAL ROUTE. REAL RESTRICTION.
A 40-Foot RV Shouldn’t Get a Car-Sized Route
On Arizona State Route 89, a posted restriction warns that vehicles over 40 feet must not continue. RiVöt RV Navigator can use the length saved in your RV profile to choose a route around the restriction.
The shortest-looking line on a map is not always the right route for your rig.
Posted Limit: 40 Feet
A real restriction near the route to Prescott—not a theoretical routing preference.
Google Maps location view: the restriction sign is near 8305 AZ-89 in Wilhoit, Arizona.
SAME DESTINATION. DIFFERENT INFORMATION.
The Route Changes When the GPS Knows Your RV
These maps all connect the Phoenix area with Prescott. Only the RiVöt example is shown using a saved RV profile and the 40-foot restriction.

Route Around the Restriction
RiVöt selects the RV-friendly option using the vehicle information saved in the driver’s profile.
PASSENGER-CAR NAVIGATION EXAMPLE
A Route Without an RV Profile
A route can be appropriate for a passenger car while still lacking the fact that the vehicle is a 40-foot RV.
PASSENGER-CAR NAVIGATION EXAMPLE
Several Lines Don’t Equal RV Awareness
Multiple route choices can look reasonable. The important question is whether the route was evaluated using the RV’s actual dimensions.
YOUR RV PROFILE MATTERS
RiVöt Plans for the Rig You’re Actually Driving
A passenger-car map starts with the road. RV Navigator starts with both the road and your vehicle. Enter the profile once, then use it while planning and navigating.
Length
Helps identify roads and segments with vehicle-length limits.
Height
Helps avoid known low-clearance bridges and structures.
Weight
Adds known weight restrictions to the route decision.
Towing Setup
Accounts for the complete traveling configuration, not just the tow vehicle.
Road Restrictions
Brings known restrictions, grades, curves, and hazards into route review.
THE PROFILE BEHIND THE ROUTE
More Than Height Goes Into an RV Route
RiVöt combines the physical profile of your RV with the routing policy you choose. Dimensions help determine where the rig can go, while policy settings control whether known hazards are avoided, shown as warnings, or turned off.
Your Rig Dimensions
Set the vehicle type, length, height, width, weight, axle count, propane status, and grade threshold used when evaluating routes.
Your Routing Policy
Choose how RiVöt handles length restrictions, propane and tunnel limits, steep grades, tight curves, mountain passes, and weather hazards.
CASE STUDY 2 · GLOBE, ARIZONA
A 12′7″ Railroad Bridge Changes the Route
The railroad bridge on North Broad Street is marked 12 feet 7 inches. In this specific Globe test, RiVöt RV Navigator used the height saved in the RV profile to route around the underpass.
POSTED CLEARANCE
12′7″ Railroad Bridge
Google Street View confirms the posted clearance on the North Broad Street railroad bridge in Globe, Arizona.
RIVÖT RV NAVIGATOR
Routes Around the Bridge
With the RV height saved in the driver profile, RiVöt avoids the North Broad Street underpass in this route test.
GENERAL-PURPOSE MAP TEST
Continues Toward the Underpass
The supplied passenger-car navigation example continues toward the low-clearance corridor because it is not using an RV-height profile.
Other RV GPS APP
Also Uses the Low-Clearance Corridor
In this specific test, the leading RVP GPS app route continues toward North Broad Street instead of routing around the 12′7″ bridge.
What This Test Shows
RiVöt was the only route example shown using the saved RV height to avoid the underpass. Google Maps and other general-purpose navigation apps do not use an RV-height profile. The other RV GPS app also continued toward the low-clearance corridor.
Routing results can change as settings, road conditions, and map data change. Always follow posted signs, closures, law-enforcement instructions, and your own judgment.
