OpenStreetMap
'We Fit' FAIL, Google FAIL, OpenStreetMap WIN

The way in question, 55984002, had been tagged with the height restriction of 15’-3” since UrbanRambler added it on 20 April 2010…
…Yet Google doesn’t even have a facility to put in height restrictions…
…Another reason to switch to OSM.

Interestingly another low bridge incident: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-29512618
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/24569301
The height limit is marked in OSM since 18 November 2013
Neither of the BBC stories mention the Sat-Nav make/data provider.

Great new article finds! I remember an article a few years ago about some island I think in the Pacific Ocean that many of the big maps listed was there but OSM didn’t…and that’s because it didn’t actually exist.
