# Low Clearance Map

> Low Clearance Map is a SaaS navigation platform that provides bridge clearance-aware routing for commercial truck drivers, RV operators, and oversized vehicle owners. The core products are a web app (app.lowclearancemap.com) and a mobile app called HeadRoom (iOS). The platform uses a proprietary routing engine built on Valhalla, optimized for height-restricted routing, with a database of 26,000+ verified bridge clearance records across the US, Canada, and UK.

Low Clearance Map solves a specific, safety-critical problem: standard navigation apps like Google Maps, Waze, and Apple Maps have zero bridge clearance awareness. A single bridge strike can total a vehicle, cause injury, delay freight, and result in significant fines. The FHWA estimates approximately 15,000 bridge strikes per year in the United States.

The platform offers individual subscriptions ($4.99/month or $45/year) with a 7-day free trial, as well as commercial API and CSV data access for fleet operators and routing platforms. The bridge clearance database is actively curated — not just scraped from government NBI data.
