I think it always had the option to select towing a caravan, but my understanding is, it doesn't plan a route based on the suitability for a caravan, but merely tells you how much the tolls are when towing!

The caravan option is still missing from their phone app which is a shame but it is awful to use.

One thing I have noticed with it, the selection of routes is a lot poorer than it used to be, I tried setting the route from Stafford to Poole and it only came up with one route.

It used to come up with three different selections and the route that it has suggested is almost definitely the only route that I wouldn't take (M6, M5 to Jn 11a, then A roads to Poole via Cirencester, Swindon and Marlborough)

I often look at different route planners/sat nav apps, just to keep abreast of latest developments and updates to the ones I know, but my acid test of their worth is to check a route to a destination I already know well! Via Michelin has never impressed on the 'acid test'! - in fact it's failed miserably with some dire routes when I've checked! Only redeeming feature I can see is that it gives actual toll fees on the routes it chooses (and I've used it for that purpose alone, using something else for the actual journey!), and I'm not aware of other apps that do that! Got to say, the interface on latest versions really doesn't impress!
