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

That does make sense but even after I got to Kingman Arizona and I recalculated it from there it wanted me to take 40 over to Flagstaff and then 17 down Ord want to be to backtrack to needles and take 95 south in California down to I10 so for some reason this unit does not like Highway 93. I ignored the GPS and took 93 and for the first 50 miles or so it kept trying to tell me to take U-turns when it would recalculate. I finally turned the unit off for a couple minutes and when I turned it back on and selected route to previous destination all the sudden it could see Highway 93. Everything worked fine from there. Thanks for the help!

 

I have gone that route many times and my TND-730 had always balked at using US-93, I think there are still portions of it that are Non-STAA so I have always used that rest area as a Via point and it routes me just fine right away. So just put the rest area in your address book and set it as a via when going to Phoenix, it's co-ordinates on the map are -34.227500-113.069881.
Also depending on where u need to go in Phoenix I route around Sun City by using the new 303 bypass, too many stop lights and unless you have an automatic its pretty hard on the clutch leg LOL.
My loads had always gone to Tempe and Mesa so there was no need to fight all the traffic and stop lights on US-60 as the 303 will take you straight down to I-10, a much faster and comfortable route.

 

Weather screen is not accurate. Says it's 66 degrees when in fact it's snowing and in the 30s. When I go to the overlay menu and pick temperature the overlay color is blue and that would be correct for 30s. Its just that current temp on the main screen that seems wrong.

 

Yeah, I am also getting incorrect temperature info on Current Weather screen on my TND T80. It currently shows 70F in Oxford, MS (even though I am in Senatobia, MS) and checked current temp via Weather Underground (currently 45F). As the previous poster stated, it shows correct "temp color" when choosing that option to show on the map, but the overall weather summary screen is WAY off! I am wondering if the RM services update is the culprit, as it was accurate before the update.

 

Thanks, Mark!
