Perfect.... saves me from asking a lot of questions...

Now,, when you changed it from shortest/fastest or fastest/shortest did it correct the route?

Thanks,
Mark

yes and no,
If you change it to the fastests routing setting or the shortest, some of the issues Like going through Indianapolis, It will keep you on I 65. but, in Lafayette IN. going north on I 65, throughout the route regardless what setting you have on. If your are coming from Chicago and I'm taking on I65 south I have no issues it only has issues with going north.

US14 at Mankato MN on the west side.

It also does not show US14 construction from owatonna MN to Waseca MN is complete.

Things I have tagged and sent to " tell rand" about. I vibrantly tagging things in the GPS. Doesn't seen to get updated very quickly. Stuff from October is only 120ish days old though. I an giving them th e benefit of the doubt for workload.

Google maps still shows that error too still.

I'll get the construction info to the manager that handles construction so they can verify and update the DB.

I will have to get the time line of when they send out updates such as construction.

Thanks,
Mark

Yes simple.

Step 1 - Find the first location (A).
Step 2 - When you are on the screen to begin route, instead at the bottom click on "set Origin". This will place the TND at that location.
Step 3 - Find the end location (C).
Step 4 - Hit Begin New Route. This will set up a route from A-C.
Step 5 - Main Screen/Choose Destination/Multi-Stop Trips/Current Trip.
Step 6 - Click on "add locations". Any location you "add" now, add them as "Via".

This will build a trip now from A-B-C. Not starting from you physical location.

Now go to the map screen.
On the right are (3) arrows, tap on them.
Go to the bottom and hit Route Display Options./Summary Map View - this will give you an overview of the route.
Other options are available there also..

To cancel this.
On the map screen, bottom left, tap on the Cog.
Hit Cancel Route.
Go back to the Map screen and click on "Return to GPS Location". If you do not, the next route you put in will start from that location and not your physical location... Could be hundreds of miles different.

Thanks,
Mark

Thanks for the concise instructions, Mark- which, I have to say are better than the manual (which I downloaded to my laptop). Much appreciated!

I don't have my TND in front of me. But to set up multi-stop trips is very easy. Why it would skip "B" I have no clue. But it's like any other computer device.

Garbage in, Garbage out.

Send me an email and when I am in the truck, I can work with you on this on the phone.

Thanks for the offer MN but Mark's instructions were clear. Unlike the actual manual.

I have been around this TND for over 4 years.. Test all the specs.. Just don't write the manual..

Anytime you need instructions on how to do anything let me know. I know a lot of shortcuts and tricks not in the manual.

Thanks,
Mark

The TND still won't route from Las Vegas NV To Phoenix AZ via US 93 unless u add a via such as Wickenburg AZ. Seems as there was a restriction in place sometime in the past. This should b cleared up as this is the shortest and quickest route. It's a pain to do it this way as it won't show the actual time of the entire trip as I usually start a trip way up north and like to know the actual time remaining of the entire trip

Thanks
John

Change your trailer under truck tools/truck info to 48'/96". I will verify, but I believe this still might be a Non-STAA route.

Thanks,
Mark

US-93 is not an STAA route between I-40 and Wickenburg, AZ

I have a spot like that in MN on US 14. It was also under construction all summer here as well. Only thing I can figure out.
Click to expand...

Can you verify?

Mankato, MN US-14: I'm assuming this is the project between Lookout Dr. and CR-6. MN DOT is showing that Phase 2 will beginin spring 2013, and it is not showing this project on their 511 website yet. Can you confirm that I am looking at the correct project location(Lookout Dr. to CR-6)?

Thanks,
Mark
