JJ's Place

I have the rand TND500.
It is not too bad of a unit and gets better every 6 months or so.
They still need to do some tweaking on a few things though to make it more user friendly. On multi stop trips it takes time to set up, and if you need to set a via point it treats it like a stop. Normally this would not be an issue, but the unit does not allow you to see the full miles and time, only that particular leg.
Thus it is not the planning tool that it could be.
They are also trying out a new map company now. No idea when or how that will pan out.
Still waiting for a major map update. The drivers have been sending in fixes that they find on truck routes that are not correct, and clearance issues that still need to be fixed.
But the map overlay update still is not on the unit. As it is now all the units on the market all have exactly the same truck route and clearance info. When they get the update out it will be much much better than any other company has.
This is mostly due to the fact that towns and county's and states sometimes have conflicting info on some routes. So it is flawed on all GPS systems and programs.

 

Police scanner?, I also have the Droid. I downloaded PDAnet did the 30 day trial then purchased it for 30 bucks I think. Now it uses my data package so costs me nothing per month it is great. The GPS is great I use it every trip I can't wait to get my TND 500 or 700 but for now this phone is great. I can't find the police scanner application, Chompi you have the name of it? Thanks

 

Don't they make a simple unit for us non cunfuser/ed older people that just don't get the new technology? Just want a unit that is easy to use and doesn't take a genius to figger out!!!
Currently have my QC unplugged. Seems that I may have left the reefer on just a tad to long while pretripping it and now, every stinking hr, I'm getting 2 different msg's related to that. What makes it worse, is that the stupid bozo's who decided we needed this program, won't allow anybody on the weekends to turn it off. My solution was to just unplug the dang QC and save my sanity. Screw em.
Hope your having fun JJ AND doing lots and lots and LOTS of PT. hehehehehehe

 

"Scanner Radio" is the name of it. There are a few different ones but I found this one to be the best and its free. That #### "paper toss" game is addicting too!

 

that paper toss game is pretty cool. LOL.
