Don't think the Garmin POI database has low bridges but you can add third party ones.
As for data fields, you can have four on the right hand side. Tap the spanner bottom right and click on Trip Data. If that isn't listed go to Settings, Map and Vehicles, Map Tools and add it.

Sorry should have said I use both the generic Low Bridge and individual height POIs from here. That way I can just search for a Low Bridge along my route and then tap on it to see the exact recorded height.

Ok, I had glanced at the trip data but dismissed it because I thought it just referenced milage covered, speeds etc. Thanks for the pointer and I will have a closer look

Well you can certainly search for POIs etc along your active route if that's what you're after ...

Yes please
It calculates the route but I can then not see how to search along that route for Low Bridges (PGPSW Low Bridge POI)
In TT I used to let it calculate then (from memory) view map of route, find, POI, POI along Route, select low bridges and that gave me my answer as a list of low bridge POIs on route and on adjacent roads.
How do I do the similar thing in Garmin?
Thanks

When you have a route active, ie you have pressed Go and your Drive is navigating, do a Where to, then tap the box top left and select My active route, then Select Categories and select the Custom POI file containing your Low Bridges. Note you can personalise that screen so that Custom POIs shows on it, so then no need to select Categories first.
