I never really ever wanted one, but try and get decent direction's for downtown Boston. So I got me a Rand McNally 510 about 2 years ago.

It is somewhat accurate, except when it tells me I can go down a truck restricted street, or the building I want is on the right, when in fact, it is on the left..

When I went to find my second stop in downtown Boston, not too far from the Convention Center? I went on a Sunday morning, in MY car in fact, but made sure the GPS was set for TRUCK.

That summanabiotch of a Rand GPS, sent me in circles, on one way streets, so narrow, a kid on roller blades would have had a hard time, and I was going to be pulling a 53 footer???

The BEST GPPS is not available, they ALL screw up, sooner or later. You buy what seems to have the better reviews, not necessarily the BEST reviews.

Oh yeah, I finally DID find the new stop in downtown Boston, in my car that Sunday.

But the way it sent me there..??

I had a telephone pole I would have had to bend my trailer around it first.

The customer gave me another way to get in, but that street was no pic-a-nic either.

As soon as you say you got a 53 footer, all of a sudden, "we get trucks in here all the time" speech, comes to an abrupt end.

 

Yeah, but I had to go just past that, down by the State garage????

But the GPS at first had me come out of the tunnel, and make some turn before Congress St.>??

Lucky I was in my car. is all I can say.

 

Rand Mcnally TND tablet is the best thing out there now its $499 though
Has a dashcam in it also i have a rand Mcnally 720 and it works fine 730 is nicer though i also allways check routes with a atles

 

Don't know much about the new TND tablet...but I agree about the 720. I have been using that for about 3 years or so and have not had any major issues with it. But like you, I always cross reference with the motor carriers atlas to be sure. If I had some extra money I'd like to upgrade to the 730.

 

Curious, are you aware of the update/grade for the 720 ? Turns it into a 730.
