    I have the eld 50 and the rand's McNally overdryve, I have a problem where I'll be in the sleeper and it will throw me on to driving while I'm sleeping then go back to either off duty or sleeper. Then for that 6, mins it says you were driving you can't change it and screws up your whole night

    I think I know what the issue is. I have to verify , but it might be GPS drift.

    Thanks mark

    Without a doubt it's drift.

    I have been in contact with the ELD folks at Rand. This is their response. A firmware update was pushed. I am seeing what version you should be on.

    This is a false speed reported from the ECM. Once the speed threshold hits> 5 mph it is considered driving as per mandate. You have to stop for 300 seconds to get out of Driving.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    I send you a "Conversation", since the info I need I don't think you want public.
