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

Question about this.

For large facilities such as WM DCs, Coca-cola plants, etc., most times, if not every time, the GPS will route to the 'office' driveway - NO TRUCKS. And sometimes no turn-around either.

This is a truck GPS, marketed and presumably sold to truckers who can be reasonably expected to be driving their trucks while using it. Can RM make some sort of effort to have the route end up at the truck entrance, which in one case was a 2 mile drive from the employee entrance at one site that I was loading at? Is there any way that WE can submit the correct location that trucks should be routed to for a particular address?

 

I-95 is an STAA route, no 53' restriction. But that gives me a fix, thanks!

 

That's the one pet peeve I really have with my 510 also.


I have been slowly putting and saving in "addresses" into my address book on the 510 for where I need to be.

My "punch list" of things to do also is create a POI table for import for Thermo-King and Detroit dealers.

 

It would seem they get it more from the fire address than anything.

Since Navteq DOES drive all of these roads, they should rather easily be able to ID truck entrances should their customers demand it.

I also saw that Trimble bought out ALK Technologies.

This I understand. But my point was that since we're paying a premium for the 'truck GPS' feature, it would be nice if RM would work on handling this rather than putting the work back on to us.
