    intersection of Etiwanda and hwy 60 - which city? I will put it on my unit and see what happens... sounds like map data errors for truck attributes.

    Thanks,

    I finally got tired of reading the 50+ pages of stuff on this post. LOL! So, my hubby and I are running team now, not for PAM as they wouldn't hire him due to shoulder surgery 4 years ago. ??? I don't get that one. We are more than likely going to get the RM TND unit, but would like a bigger screen size. We like the features, just not the 5 inch screen. Hubby would prefer a 7 inch screen like that of the Cobra 7700. Older eyeballs need bigger screens. He says he could live with the 5 now that he has his glasses again, but would really like a 7. So, how about it RM? the TND in a 7 inch screen for lazy eyeballs. We'd definitely buy that.

    Hey mark, I have an old Garmin streetpilot, and just recently purchased the tnd 500. What I am refering to is on the garmin when you have it rout you there is a button you press so you can see the entire route fro start to finish. I found that very usefull so if it went threw a city or took a highway that i knew was closed down then i could add a waypoint. can you do the same with the tnd 500? If so I have'nt seen it yet.

    you could always zoom out to see the overall route... but no instant button..

    Make sure you update the unit to ver 1443.

    Thanks,

    I also had the streeetpilot before this GPS. In the latest update to the RM you can look at the detailed directions and it will give you turn by turn just as in the garmin. If you do not like a road it is taking you can hit detour on any specific road and it will change the route. Not the same as a via but sort of like it.

    Thanks,

    Steve
