Why over-complicate it? Just have a GPS that shows routes *without* low

nasties as well.

And you think bus companies would buy that instead of buying the cheaper
consumer version? After all, that's what haulage companies do, and
that's why lorries and tourist coaches are always getting stuck in small
villages.

Incidentally, when that happens, walls get demolished, gardens churned
up, hedges destroyed etc, just to remove the lorry. Why not just cut
the lorry into little pieces?

And otherwise it's not failsafe (maybe there's a low bridge somewhere
that didn't make it into the gazetteer).

That's not failsafe anyway. What if a low bridge is built over one of
your routes?
