    Without know an certain area I cannot look in the map data to explain why. I think one of the reasons would be that the limit for trying to find a legal way to turn around is one mile. If it cannot find a legal way to turn you around in one mile then the U-Turn is overwritten.

    Thanks,

    RM just pushed back to an earlier version. RM is still looking at another cause. A few have been fixed but in my testing we are trying to determine still the root cause.

    Once the version in QA has been released (no bye date), then the majority of issues will go away.

    Thanks,

    Actually the 80 came out first then the 70. It looks like both have the same features. Except the 70 also has a front facing camera in addition to the Dash Cam.

    The "rear camera" that is mentioned for the 80 is build in on the rear.
    The "GPS Boost" is the "slice" will amplify your GPS signal. This is what the Tablet connects to via magnetic strips.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Define "approved", is this by other trucks being on it?

    I don't see a US 287 in Falls County, TX. I see a US 77.

    Thanks,

    What if you take it out of your truck on home time and use it in your car? All GPS's have that ability to use car mode, it simply does not use any truck restrictions.

    I use it in testing. If I cannot route to somewhere I put in Car Mode. If it routes then it is a truck restriction. If it does not route then it is a Map issue.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Sorry I meant Wichita Falls. And by approved I was referring to routes approved for commercial vehicle use. That's why I carry the latest RM motor carriers atlas. Even with a gps, you should never 100% rely on it to route you

    You have set to Prefer Freeways or Allow Freeways?

    I will send this to RM to check for any restrictions.

    Thanks,
