Support Thread for the TND 500, TND 700 or future Rand McNally products. (part two)

LOL, you guys are funny. The guy is an obvious tool and brings nothing to the table here. We've been promised an update for well over a year on the 520. Then they come out with the 530 which is arguably not much better. The hardware was poorly designed and only slightly improved. You call them out on their BS and you guys say it's attitude? Yes... Yes it it. Make a GPS that works correctly. Don't hire a guy to make excuses on a forum and regurgitate bad posted answers.

 

you came in here to start a fight?
at any rate you need to read your own links as you are wrong on 53' in NYC. you use a pdf from NYS and they are very different
find below the pertinent passage from the city regs

http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/motorist/sizewt.shtml
Tractor-trailer vehicle combinations not exceeding 13′6″ in height, 8′ in width, and 55′ in length can travel on interstates and truck routes. The maximum allowed length of single unit vehicles, such as boxtrucks, is 35′.
Federal STAA vehicles (pdf) not exceeding 13′6″ in height, 8′6″ in width, 48' trailer length, and the lower of the bridge formula weight or 80,000 pounds, moving household goods can travel on interstates and truck routes. STAA vehicles not moving household goods are limited to one-mile access to and from the exit.
Trucks with 53-foot trailers may only travel on the portions of I-95, I-695, I-295, and I-495 that cross the city between the Bronx-Westchester County line and Queens-Nassau County line. 53-foot trailers carrying non-divisible loads must apply for a New York City Permit.
Maximum weight limit for vehicles is 80,000 pounds or less, depending upon axle spacing. Bridges or viaducts may have lower weight limits posted. The legal weights are outlined below.
the map showing that route is on page 3 of your link

you are welcome to use any GPS you like, but don't come pick on the only support person that cares enough to be on here for the drivers.
he started this board on his own and has been here to help DRIVERS since day one of the TND series. can't say that about any other brand of gps

okay said my piece
Jeff

P.S. thanks mark for what you do.

 

I do believe it is time for the mods to put a stop to this guys abuse.....

 

the only tool I see here is you. Mark has helped me on several occasions. Go troll the Garmin site because you definitely are bringing anything here.

 

Ever since the last major update I did a month or so ago, whenever my 730 has to re-route it basically flakes out and just says I'm 0.2 miles away from my destination (I'm usually 500+ miles away). Is there any ETA to when this will be fixed?

 

Agreed this is a new problem although my 730 fixes itself once we start moving again
