Support Thread for the TND 500, TND 700 or future Rand McNally products. (part two)

works fine now w/ the new charger,thnx RM.I almost threw you out the window.

 

no everything got set to default, time map settings everything, the only thing readily different was the way addresses get entered, i did swipe up and did not see anything, i got it fixed back but kinda threw me for a loop for a bit

 

Speaking of Tablet updates, any word on map updates?

 

The oddest thing happened today...

I got in my truck after the weekend's freezing temperatures. I plugged in my GPS, and it took a few minutes to be able to start it. When it did, the graphics had all changed. I attached a pic of how it looks now.

I checked a few days ago that it had the most recent updates. I'm not sure if it somehow updated, or reverted to a previous version.

 

There are 3 graphics schemes in the settings. The one in your picture is called classic. So, though there is no way for anyone to know how yours got changed if that wasn't the one you were using, but if you press Menu / Preferences, the first item will show as "Skin Style" and you can change it there back to whichever one you want.

 

Oh ok... I don't think I changed anything, I think something got screwed up from the cold temperatures. It took a long time for the unit to acquire satellite signal when I finally got it to boot as well.Thanks.

 

Hey Mark, I may just be jumping the gun here but...I have the TND Tablet, and I haven't seen an update for ANYTHING for it in the last few months. I normally saw updates popping through maybe once or twice a month, and I assume they were for the construction updates and such. But I haven't seen any in a while. I'm wondering when was the last update that was sent to the tablets so I can see if I'm having a problem seeing the updates and have to reset something. Although I wouldent want to lose my mileage and stuff...

 

Right. I don't think you did either. I was telling you how to change it back in case you (or someone else reading this) didn't know.

 

Hi Mark, still on the 510 so I don't know if this has been addressed in the newer units but I would like to see toll booths addressed as icon units on map & searchable as POI's along route/near truck/ect just like weigh stations.

Also have the accepted forms of payment listed under details (eg Illinois I80/I88/I90 Ipass/EZpass, Kansas I70/I35 Ktag/PikePass) as certain toll booths accept payment options not always listed on the signs.

Also would be great to list if they are exact change only or change provided on cash tolls as those can screw your day if you are not familiar with area, don't have a bunch of loose quarters, & they usually don't give receipts.

Would be great to list truck specific lanes to use, especially if oversize (usually the right lanes but not always; also list the toll lane(s) speed limit on Etolls as they vary widely.

-----------------

Also, possible to add a quick button while viewing "detail view" & "highway view" tab of directions to orient north up like the default "summery map view" setting so don't have to switch main view from 3D to north up & back every time to view the step by step turns in a north up view?

Thanks, Mike
