    Hopefully look for it in a update coming to you soon. That would be a handy feature indeed.

    especially on the 1000 mile trips. its way to small to make it usefull, but you want to see a few states. They may have improved it, but mu gps never liked the supper long trips anyway. I always needed to add a via point half way there to get it to respond quick and not bog down.

    If you are computer savvy you can manually clean the register's.

    As far as the Median, that is in the core maps. Once those are corrected then it will see them.

    Thanks,

    It would depend on what you are calling from the TND as in Traffic, weather, and fuel prices. You can use it for a week like you normally do and then look at your usage from your cell provider. This will give you an idea.

    Look under Truck Tools/Warnings/Speed to set a manual speed limit.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    If you set the manual limit, you cant set the auto limit as well. it seems to be one or the other, not both.

    As for data, i use the data for so much else it is hard to monitor the additional use from rand since my ussage varies from week to week. Do they even have nay ball park numbers?

    There have been tests. But, again they will vary upon what you are calling accross the internet from the TND.

    Thanks,

    New update has been working well for me so far, though I have been mainly on big roads... I did notice it no longer displays truck speed limits -- did a setting just get switched off that I need to change or is that the way it'll be going forward?
