Suppport Thread for the TND 500, TND 700 or future Rand McNally products.

Just clarifying the source of the logic error with that feature... My 520 does issue an audible "speed warning" message when I exceed my user-defined speed limit, but only when that user-defined speed is also above the car speed limit.


Example: Set speed warning at 59mph, and hit 59mph on...

I-5 in Mt. Shasta, California -- Red speed readout, but no verbal warning given (exceeds 55mph truck speed limit, but not 70mph car speed limit)

I-5 in Portland, Oregon -- Red speed readout and verbal warning given (exceeds 55mph car&truck speed limit)

 

Utah I-84 wb @ mm112 the 55mph truck speed limit ends (gps doesnt switch to 70mph until mm115)

 

Mine used to display the name of the upcoming exit or street at the bottom.
Now, it just gives the exit number. Anyway of getting that feature back?

 

Tap that part of the screen. It should cycle between city/county/state, mile marker, & upcoming exit

 

It gives me all that but not the name of the upcoming exit. It gives me the exit #.

 

............I appreciate what you're saying but when you purchase a "Truck" specific GPS unit you expect it to operate better in Truck mode than car mode & not the other way around. I guess it would be WAY too expensive for R.M. to develop their own mapping program? While I have your attention Mark, What's next in the line up? A 730? Are you allowed to let us look into your crystal ball?

 

Mark .........Is cost the MAIN FACTOR in RM getting map data from Navteq rather than from a more reliable source such as Google ?

 

If Google ever came out with a GPS.....Where, when you got close to your destination it would give you a street (real picture) view AND a satellite view. THAT would be the bee knees. Mark the next version (730) (820) needs to have variable volume tied into the speed (like a radio, the faster you go, it steps up the volume a bit) I notice on mine, when I have it set perfect for 55 M.P.H., then come into a town it seems WAY too loud.
