    I'm having a problem with the overdryve pro 8. Seems to constantly lose GPS signal. At least once per day and often I have to completely shut the unit down to get it to lock signal.

    Also setting via points to correspond with an OD permit is difficult. After I get 5 or 6 put in it doesn't take them anymore. Every via after that shows the same address as the one before it.

    Call Rand CS on Tuesday and ask for a new Slice.

    Suggestion... put in the end point, then go to search - right side guided search, multi-stops/current trip - and add the via points here.. then save the trip.. once you start the trip you will work from the current trip folder, but your saved folder will have all the information in it still. Current trip as you pass a point that point will disappear from the current trip folder.

    How are you adding your via points?

    I'm adding the final destination letting it route and then dragging the map around and holding the spot down till it gives me the option of adding a via. Then I click reorder trip and move it to where it needs to be.

    How do I add the points in the way you suggested? Do I need an address?

    I've found that all in one devices break fast. So keeping a single device for a single purpose is a good solution.

    This permit is better than most. Many times all we have are road names. No miles, no direction. I don't have coordinates to enter or addresses.

    It is not broke, but the flow of the trip needs to be looked at in saving via points.

    One thing I notice is when I click on trip summary to view the entire route I'm not able to add any points from that screen. It doubles an already saved address. That would be the easiest way to do it. From the trip summary screen.
