   That's very unfortunate. These apps do not take into account the quality   
   of the roads and the size/weight of the vehicle. You can learn of the   
   accidents they cause in the TV some times.   
      
   This summer a big lorry got stuck like a cork in a narrow street in a   
   village. Had to be extracted by a rescue truck pulling at 90° the rear   
   part. The lorry had been looking for a gas station that in fact was out   
   of service for years, near the highway but not that near. Chap lost a   
   day and expenses.
