GPS Question

as idiotic questions go...........................,i'd say this is a good one

 

Of course a gps can be used in anything with a power supply .. rand mcnally are alright... they have pros and cons like anything else.. what company doesnt consult their user's for improvements ? Everything is in beta ..

 

Now that something that's easy to do on all fours.

 

How would you know that. hmm

 

Can that be done with a mechanical pounder or just electronic?

 

Here's what nobody else has said, which there is a chance that might be the OP's question. If you are installing something like a Rand McNally that you want to use for electronic logging, it WON'T WORK with an old mechanical engine! To do that it needs to connect to the port to the engine and read all of the electronic sensors, which your engine is not cursed with. So you can plug a GPS into your lighter socket, and it will give you road directions, and can keep track of your driving time, but would not be acceptable for an Elog.

And part of me would also like to leave a smart butt reply like everyone else, but I have not had my morning coffee yet.

 

Sensors dead before morning coffee. ... I guess that could be good .. I have the understanding of.. the OP did in fact inquire about GPS..

 

Any stand alone GPS will work so long as you have a DC connector available.

You would not be able to run an EOBR as these connect to the J bus.

If you need to run an EOBR, you could try the HD-100. This is just a suggestion since you cannot connect to the J bus.

When you purchase the HD 100, the included User Manual will walk you through the activation process on the Rand McNally Dock™. This will involve pairing your HD 100 with any one of the following:

• Android tablet or smartphone
• iPad or iPhone
• IntelliRoute[SUP][SUP]®[/SUP][/SUP] TND™ 730, 530, or 720

(Recommended screen size 4.7" or larger.)
