GPS

Does someone make a GPS for motor homes that won't put you in a bad spot ( small street-tight area) or direct you to a fuel station that you can get into or a food stop that you can get into?  You know what I mean

The best one for that is the 6" model found between your ears  ;)

A GPS is limited by its programming and database; the developers work with what they have and cannot visit/survey everything.  The database can contain things like approved truck/commercial routes, weight limit roads/bridges, and low clearances on commercial routes.  Best practices for a new-to-you route would probably be to use Google street view and "drive" the route on your computer screen first, looking for potentially sticky situations.
