Can someone else with a TND 740 check something for me?

Lol xt283 - yeah 10-4 in that! I'm not in the truck, but I think the xt 310 is on there bc I was scratching my head thinking ain't nothing there, but forgot the new loves. .. maybe that was a billboard Though?

 

Can’t verify your specifics but have plenty of my own examples... I-11 from Hover Dam to Las Vegas been there for like two years? Still not on my RM740... several new roads in Dallas like you said the exit has moved and I miss them almost every time Im there... a road around Memphis that used to be a 4 lane divided highway is now an Interstate...

And I have like TEN new Loves in my Addresses that they don’t have in their database... and Loves is adding like Forty more new locations this year too... with a CAT Scale at each that isn’t in their database either.

so ya, where’s my lifetime map updates???

 

I’ll hit them up too and report back.

 

Have you tried updating your maps from a computer? Plug you usb into the unit and your computer or laptop and using the docking software to update the device manually. Sometimes, that works better than over the air updates. It's crazy, I know and it shouldn't matter, but sometimes it works.

 

I used to have a 720. Had the same difficulties as you have described. Called customer no-service and was told that I would have to plug the dang thing into a computer to receive updates. And if that failed, I would have to send the dang thing to Rand McNally for a fixin'.

I never got around to doing either. Seems to me that if their product was the be all end all trucking GPS Rand McNally proclaims it to be, then it should update automatically when WiFi is available.

Nowadays, I use my phone GPS to navigate when needed. Of course I have to examine the proposed route and exercise caution when entering an unfamiliar area.

I don't concern myself with encountering low bridges since that dang 720 gave me a route with a low bridge.

Additionally, there were bridges in NYC a 13' 6" trailer could go under that the 720 indicated it could not. Such joy.

Another disadvantage of using Rand McNally navigation products is a lack of real-time traffic updates. It's always Sunny in Philadelphia when using a 720.

Don't you just love that sinking feeling of coming into traffic that is stopped or is slowing wishing there were an alternate route?

Just remember to input your route information while within cell coverage if you are routed to the hinterlands.

 

Why I won't buy one,

 

Interesting points of views here on Rand mc Nally products surely they should be held Accountable for there products not updating they are being sold at All the Major truckstops

 

Loves at exit 310 is not in my 740. The 2 updates I received are to Driver Connect, whatever that is. I've stored the new Loves in my database. As an alternative just add the QT at exit 306 and add 4 miles.
