I'm about to fork over 499.00 for this tablet/GPS but I can't find any info on it. The loves im at claim they just got it in and have one in stock plus the display. The rand website has no info on it. I checked out the box and it doesn't give much specs on it. All I got from it is its an 8 in screen, android compatible, WiFi ready and instructions has only GPS info. Is this a new item? First time seeing it and the screen is huge. Not sure I want that mounted on the dash as big as it is. I am soooo tempted to buy it. Anyone know about this?

I seen this the other day at a Loves & I thought... Thats pretty neat/clever.
Then I though, Humm, nahhh...
You could buy a tablet for $200 install Rand McNally gps software & there ya go. It wont have a video camera, but......
I mean, nahhh, Not for $500....kwan2323 and Oldironfan Thank this. -
Not able to just load the RM GPS software. It is integrated into the tablet on API's and other software changes.ColoradoLinehaul and MichianaFlat Thank this. -
To add: no way I'd even buy a tablet from Rand McNally if it was priced $200 cheaper. They make GPS devices, let the tablet people (Apple & Samsung) stick to tablets. A Rand McNally tablet actually sounds worse than windowsLast edited: Feb 6, 2015

I agree! ... Nothing against RM (I will probably buy a RM GPS) but let's be real, try perfecting your GPS before you venture into the tablet world.
