Suppport Thread for the TND 500, TND 700 or future Rand McNally products.

So is the newest version for the 500 out yet??

 

Yeah, it's out.

 

Thanks Kajidono....what do you think about it??

 

I think they did a pretty good job fixing the issues that they had time to fix. They're still working on the routing so it's still buggy. It does a lot better with the avoids working now. It seems to run faster so they straightened some code out somewhere.

 

hello just bought the tnt 500 and when im on a road the clearly states no trucks the tnd does not warn me and when i approach a low bridge still nothing what gives its been updated its switched to truck mode and all my demensions are enterd i did this while i was driving my car and using truck mode so i can test it out.Also this is the 3rd Rmn unit and all is not working properly,1st one was the tnd700 didnt get to use it at all it said missing file error,2nd was the tnd 500 would not stay on even with the charger plugged in and the one i currently have with the routing issues plz help me out thnx the drifter

 

It will take a long time to get all roads entered in properly. My 500 routed me under a low bridge the other day and about took my stacks clean off. However, I'm also running a garmin 465t that was routing me the same way, so the error actually came from the company that provides most of these units with the base maps. Navtech. That's the crap company that's responsible for a lot of these annoying errors.

 

Speaking of power, I noticed the battery indicator is now gone and the light goes off if it comes unplugged instead. Was that intentional or am I making my unit adapt through shear force of will?
