Did you ever tell Google maps that you were in a big fan? Otherwise, how would it know?

Google Maps doesn't have anywhere to tell it you're driving a large vehicle.

Knowing about and respecting size and weight restrictions is usually a feature on 'professional' sat nav units [1]. Serious delivery companies of course pay the premium to get this feature - but occasional van drivers don't.
