Everything a tall vehicle needs.
Nothing it doesn't.

One subscription. Every restriction type. The navigation tools that Waze and Google Maps never built.

🗺️

19,178+ UK restrictions — height, width & weight

The most complete restriction dataset available. HeightWise covers low bridges from Network Rail data, narrow-road width restrictions, and weight-limited roads from OpenStreetMap — all mapped nationwide, all checked against your vehicle dimensions before routing.

507+ Low bridges
18,671+ Width & weight limits
UK-wide coverage

Vehicle profiles

Set height, width, and weight in feet & inches or metres. Save multiple profiles — van, motorhome, flatbed — and switch instantly.

🎛️

Filter by restriction type

Toggle bridge, width, and weight overlays independently on the map. Show only what matters for your vehicle on that journey.

Dual-unit display: feet & metres

All restrictions shown in imperial first (11'6") with metres alongside (3.5m). Because that's how bridges are signed in the UK.

Mobile-first design

Designed for a phone in a cab. Full sidebar navigation, large tap targets, readable contrast — works as well on your phone as a desktop.

⚠️

Restriction alerts before you drive

See every bridge, narrow road, and weight limit on your planned route — with clearance figures — before you leave. No surprises en route.

How it works

Three steps.
Zero strikes.

1
📏

Set your vehicle dimensions

Enter height, width, and weight in feet/inches or metres. Save multiple profiles for different vehicles or loads — switch with one tap.

2
📍

Enter your destination

Type where you're going. HeightWise routes around every bridge, narrow road, and weight restriction your vehicle can't pass.

3
🛣️

Drive — or hand off to Waze

Use HeightWise's route view, or tap to open in Waze or Google Maps for turn-by-turn directions on roads that actually fit your vehicle.

Built for

Not just HGVs. Anyone with a restricted vehicle.

🚐

Van Drivers

Transit, Sprinter, Luton. Over 8'2" (2.5m)? You need HeightWise.

🏕️

Motorhome Owners

Holiday routing that never ends with a crunch. Enjoy the drive.

🚚

HGV & Delivery

New routes, tight deadlines. Keep moving without surprises.

🚗

Roof Racks & Loads

Kayaks, ladders, roof boxes. Temporarily tall? Set it and forget it.

The problem

Google Maps doesn't know how tall your van is.

Mainstream navigation routes every vehicle identically. A Fiat 500 gets the same directions as a 13'1" motorhome. The result? Thousands of drivers hit low bridges, squeeze through roads they can't fit, and unknowingly drive overweight routes every year.

Existing HGV solutions cost hundreds of pounds and are built for fleets. HeightWise is navigation for everyone else — height, width, and weight, all covered, from £6.99/month.
