    It's #### I PROMISE YOU save your money. I bought it and it's horrible!! Dash cam is trash stops recording every now and than while you are driving and have to turn it on again.

    It routes you the longer/slower route while there are faster truck routes that are right infront of you.

    Save your money and just buy a PC Miler. Matter a fact if you really want a rand mcnally 8" I will sell you mine. 95% condition comes with box wires everything that rand gives you.

    I'm about to get a pc miler soon.

    And you have access to the raw map data? Humm.. just because a road does not mean a truck can be on it... Give me some examples of start/stop locations..

    As far as the Dash Cam, you found this thread,, yet I don't recall seeing you post in the support thread about the issue.... are you recording internally or externally? big difference

    Hey Mark,

    A road that has signs clearly saying trucks use this route......It also trys to take you through downtown areas as well.

    Well example is.... I'm driving down the road and my destination is on street "A". I come to street "A" but tells me not to turn instead go down to another 3 streets and enter street A from another 3 intersections down.

    Dash cam is being recorded internally.

    If you could maybe help me fix these stupid issues than I could change my opinion towards it.

    Try changing your demeanor some please.. I try to keep any RM support thread civil in tone... makes for better reading..

    Now, I need physical examples of locations.. With the millions of miles of roads it is hard to troubleshoot and see what the issue is. There is more to a map routing than just seeing a physical street.. A lot has to do with is the map data showing a truck can be on this road or not...

    What model do you have? Since it is a tablet, did you do the OTA Flash update, Map update, and software update that came out about 10 days ago?

    How much memory do you have left on the internal storage?
