    Ah, but do you control the horizontal and the vertical? :shaking2:

    In my further adventures on OK-412, I turned north on OK-223 and the unit told me to make u-turns all the way to US160 in Mo. It was telling me to turn around and go 76 miles in a big loop until I was making the right turn onto 160, then it told me to go straight across, make a u-turn, and turn left on 160. The intersection T's off and there's no road there. Anyway, it went from 76 miles to 10 miles in the span of 20 feet.
     
    Mark Kling Thanks this.

    I know the MCRA has this info listed, RM may want to check that. A lot of construction was done over the last few years on that section.

    I run Denver a lot and go up and down I-25 all the time. If this restriction is still valid, then it is not being enforced.

    I let RM know that they may have to verify with the DOT for that state to see if the restrictions are still Valid.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    I have to pick up a load in Seabrook, NJ. It doesn't seem to be listed in the database. Have to dust of the paper atlas :biggrin_25523:.

    I didn't see any posted signs on I-25 and I wasn't the only truck either. Looks like the GPS was right this time

    Everyone, please hold off updating till further notice, Rand noticed that the server is placing an older file on your unit after the update. The symptoms are that the screens will lock up on usually the first screen to accept or the TND will not boot fully.

    Rand is working on this now and I will be testing again after it is corrected. This is a priority so hopefully either tonight or first thing in the morning.

    Rand is sorry about this.

    If you did update and you unit is locked up, if you know how to move a file I can send you the file you need to get your TND working again.


    Thanks,
    Mark

    Coming W from Breaux Bridge, La on Hwy 94 trucks 5 or more axles cannot
    make a left onto E Pinhook Rd to get to the Evangeline Thurway. The sign is
    clearly posted for this and the TND tried routing me this way.

    Mark I just updated my TND before reading that you told everyone not to,
    hopefully I don't have any problems but if I do I will let you know.
