Going down a road it deems truck restricted it will audibly give you the warning a couple times within about a minute and then a pop up box comes up and says cant find a route and switching to car mode. You hit ok and the icon has changed to the car and there is now no route at all. This has happened to me a couple times.

The TND does not auto switch from Truck to car mode. You will get a red message at the bottom notifying you of a restriction.
What is the serial number off the back of your TND.
Thanks,

Yes, but the message says something to the effect of, "Illegal or not recommended"
I would rather is make up it's mind...

More than likely that highway has been moved or expanded and the map makers havent caught up their data base yet. I can think of about a dozen places my GPS will do this every time.
Including highway 400 E of Augusta Ks. They rebuilt that highway more than a dozen years ago, and the map makers have yet to bring that data up to current. Every GPS I have ever owned including Google Maps has me off in the middle of a wheat field going down that road. Recalculating recalculating ughhhhh! -

played with a bunch of different gps from other drivers- bought a 510 that I found best for me.

I get the message yup but after about a minute it will pop up the message and switch to car mode.

It is letting you know you are on a restricted road. Would you rather not it give you a warning and you get a ticket?
Thanks,
Mark
