Caravan drivers may be able to avoid towing their vehicles down windy or narrow roads through some new software available as an application on the Apple iPhone.
The AA’s Route Planner navigation software allows motorists to specifically steer clear of situations including toll roads and motorways.
In particular, a specific ‘caravan friendly’ mode will ensure drivers stick to roads suitable for the vehicles.
According to the Press Association, Edmund King, president of the AA, said: “It is estimated that at any one time up to 15 per cent of drivers in urban areas may be lost, adding to congestion and frustration among drivers.
“A well-planned route not only saves time, money and CO2 but also makes for a calmer, safer journey. Millions of people rely on AA Route Planner and with this new app this will now be available wherever they are.”
Routes can be planned using the software by start and end destinations or through the current location in which a user is situated.
