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

This I agree with 100%. Though I find errors with the TND700, I find the Qualcomm just as frustrating.

BTW I've found once I know the common quirks of the TND700 it's less of an issue.

Also as with any tool, map, gps or qualcomm, they all have errors. Just my 2 cents.

BTW, just finished my last 11 days out, zero errors Mark.

 

Mar,

If you are still looking for suggestions, I would like to request a map scale/zoom range and the ability to see an entire multi point route all at once.

 

I see the scale now that you tell me it is there, but the font is so small it is incredibly hard to see. I would like a slightly larger font if possible.

Thanks

 

TND 700 goes bonkers when routed in Buffalo, NY

Try
I-90 ex 55, US 219S, NY 179W, NY 5N to Tifft St Exit (turn right), Hopkins St (turn right) to 119 Hopkins St.

This is the best route heading in to shipper but TND 700 shows NY 5 not being authorized route or something to that effect and keeps trying to route me around it. It also has major problems in Chicago areas going into steel companies, who by the way have large trucks going in and out constantly.

I'm a flatbedder (KW900 280 wheelbase w/a 48' spread axle). I used to use Garmin Nuvi 350 (it does have truck option but doesn't really differentiate 2 ton tk to 80 ton tk. I winded up getting the TND 700 hoping that it’ll get that right. So far, it led me the wrong way coming out of Tuscumbia, Al heading toward Knoxville, TN in Decatur, Al – actually it was lagging behind and told me to bear left onto US 31 instead of Alt US 72. Also in OH turnpike westbound at exit 242 heading to Canton, OH from PA. It lagged behind a little in few instances and got past the exit or turning point before it caught it and had to get turned around. Over all it did come handy in few places and I got use to it.

BTW – Mark
I can’t say how much I appreciated that you help me with the corrupted firmware issue when even RM tech support wasn’t willing. I received the SD and did as instructed and everything seems A O K but I winded up updating from different computer, I lost the previous settings. (no biggy) As long as I don’t have to go without it for extended time period I’m good. Hope you have good time at that Jamboree in Walcott. Thanks again.

 

I've sent you the email July 5th with all the info you've requested. Still waiting for some kind of response.
