    Had that problem in Denver on I25 with the 560 and a competitor's model. It was the bridge edges that were below 13'6". Had to be corrected in a map update. Bet PA is the same thing. Havn't been on the PA turnpike yet with 760 yet.

    Yea the rand was fine yesterday in ne on 80 but the garmin 560 kept trying to get me to get off half the exits due to weight limits didnt have the 760 yet but bet since they both have the same map sets they will both do that it only started after the last update 2013.30

    Check your settings and, have you updated the device recently? Never had that issue with my 560 on I80.

    Sorry missed that on your updated map set. Anyway, if you are driving a normal truck, make sure your axle weights are at 34,000 and your gross weight at 80,000. If that doesn't fix the problem, might need to get a hold of Garmin Support. I have not seen that particular issue in my 560 but that doesn't mean anything.

    Have been running a 560 for some time noe. Run NE all the time. Never had this issue. Wonder if it is a setting you have? Update if you can. Newest maps are pretty good.

    I have a windshield mount for my 560. Not a garmin product. Picked it up a loves. Green package, was like $20. works great.
    Popped the old mount off the back, put the right adapter in the new one, up on the windshield. been there for almost 2 years.

    After reading your post, I started wondering what I had set my axles to. Seems I have been running "unknown" as the weight.
    Gross is set to 80K. Never have had a problem with routing on any restricted roads. BUG? Feature?

    Got the same one. Wore it out after 3 years, rubber on the suction cup stiffened up, just bought another one.

    I also have that mount. Far superior to the one that came with the 760 and here is something better- I had been using it with my 560. It will fit the 760 as well.
