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

I have an app in my phone that does my fuel and miles for state logs. I also write down my mileage as I cross state lines. I rely on the 510 to tell me my loaded/unloaded miles and toll/non toll. 65% of my miles are NY and need those figures to file NYHUT correctly.

 

I recommend "SimpleIFTA" app for android. Its great at keeping miles/fuel. Its always within 2-3mi accurate every quarter between my GPS, the app, and odometer miles.

 

I just tried holding the on button while pushing reset several times. No luck. So far just red light, I am charging off my laptop, so I will know if the light will go green in a couple hrs. If it goes green after about 3hr, good or bad? Or if stays red, good or bad?

 

giving up on my 710. the first one i had died after less than 3 months on the road. it would not charge. either through the cig lighter or home charger. sent it back, they were good @ getting another one to me in less than 2 weeks. got that one in my new truck and it lasted less than 2 months. same problem. Gonna try a Cobra with Christmas bonus money and use this one as a coaster (albeit a very expensive coaster) in my truck. its a shame, when they worked i really liked them.

 

Mine had the same problem, I discovered that the USB connector was mechanically worn from vibration and was not making good contact. I crimped the metal shell on the cable, and now it will charge with the connector pulled out halfway. I needed to secure the cable to the unit to limit the vibration. It still has connection problems from time to time, but I just move the cord and it resolves itself.

The internal speaker stopped working after about 2 months. Sometimes it works when the case is warmed by the sun, so I think it's also an internal connection problem caused by vibration.

 

I'm a bit concerned. I mailed in my POP with the free map update form and thus far have heard nothing. It's been about three weeks....any ideas?

 

What model?

 

Took me about 5 weeks to get my email from them
