    FAQ

    Can I use Google Maps for a motorhome?

    You can - but it is not recommended as your primary navigation. Google Maps has no awareness of your vehicle's height, weight or length and will route you through restrictions that could damage your vehicle or leave you stuck. Use CampPilot Camper Navi for routing and Google Maps as a secondary reference if needed.

    Why is height the most dangerous restriction for motorhomes?

    Because height barriers are often encountered at speed with limited warning, and there is no way to reverse a mistake in real time the way you might with a width or length issue. A height collision is often sudden and expensive. Always know your exact height and add a safety margin.

    Is CampPilot Camper Navi available for iOS and Android?

    Yes - CampPilot Camper Navi is available for both iOS and Android. iPhone users also benefit from CarPlay support, so you can use CampPilot Camper Navi directly on your car's built-in display without touching your phone while driving.
