    If you can do without for a few days, I can repair the USB port if it is loose.

    thanks,

    request
    Drivers - Rand has asked a favor.

    As you pass by Weigh stations or rest Area's, please note the State, road you are on, direction, MM if any, or if you can send a Tell Rand on location as you are sitting there.

    Weight stations - note if they are permanent or temporary.

    Please forward the info up to Rand via a tell Rand.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Rand has offered to the top TEN persons whom submit the most Tell Rand's in regards to the Weight Station's and Rest Area's a 2011 MCRA, spiral bound and laminated.

    Rand already has seen them coming in. Thanks in advance.

    Be sure to put XXXX in the subject line.

    thanks,
    Mark

    Hey guys!

    Can someone out there program: 169 E Grand Ave Saint Louis, Mo in their TND 500 & tell how easy it is to find without the GPS leading you everywhere else?

    Thanks!

    PS Is there a setting on the TND 500 that let's me put in an address without the machine trying to get the bright idea to substitute another word for the one Im looking for during a search? ( Hope I articulated that okay!:biggrin_2557:)

    Mark how would you compare your unit to the Garmin 465T? I have that unit and the other day it tried to send me into a tunnel (A NO GO Haz-Mat.) Does yours have the ability to restrict tunnels?

    AH... cannot do that here... I try not to compare other navigation units to the TND. You can find a review on DieselBoss's website that compares all the Truck navigation devices.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Would be hard to get directions to a location without knowing where the starting point is.

    Are you sure of this address? Google Maps shows it in the middle of a Plant on railroad tracks.. no street is showing.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    I-80 PA.
    Permanent Weigh Station. MM-55.6
    Actually the East side is set up with a full building and inspection area, the West bound is just an inspection pull in area with portables, but it is used allot.
