Rand McNally TND740

Thanks, man.

To me, it would be more profitable for them just to sell the software only that we could download onto our own compatible tablets. As once the software is created and perfected, there is no more overhead involved. As manufacturing consists of just making copies of the master copy of the software, which isn’t manufacturing at all.

Other than maybe a few customer service people to handle those people that have to have their hand held to do everything, there is really no other overhead involved. It’s almost all pure profit.

Of course, the users would be responsible for supplying their own tablets.

In fact, Rand McNally could make software deals with various tablet makers to supply their software on only compatible tablets. So, when you purchased a compatible tablet, it would already come preloaded on the tablet. That’s the way Microsoft initially became so prosperous.

Thus, even when non-truckers purchased the tablets for other reasons besides trucking, it would still be money going into their bank account.

That would eliminate all of their other overhead that is pretty #### substantial and to me, that would be a much better business model for them to have.

 

Oh so the font is super small on the 740 too not just the 540? really F'n stupid if you ask me.

Just finished a chat with RM rep on connectivity issues with the 540. Apparently, the 540 wont connect with a hotspot on an Galaxy S8 plus if its password protected. Really? a year old model ONLY connects via open wif on mobile? Given the S9 released today according to verizon I wonder about that phone too.

 

My 540 will connect through password protected S8+.

 

ok. thanks. will return for exchange then.

this one wont even allow registration to go through.
