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

I really like my RM740. It routes me well and has been very reliable for me. I really like the option to finding things ahead of me on the fly. It’s so disheartening to hear this about the 750.

Based on the craptastic level of map updates, the atrocious new Rand 2.0 navigation system, and the fact that the TND 750 has been the top of their basic line of truck GPS for two years now, I suspect the company is about to fail.

Sad, really. All they needed to do to actually improve the old Rand navigation system was tweak it. Instead they completely broke it into stupidity and have consistently failed to do anything about it. They clearly have nobody in the dev team with any experience at all driving a truck.

As an example of the extreme stupidity of the 2.0 version, there is no longer an option to 'prefer freeways' which leads to the retarded thing trying to route you off the interstate at an exit ramp, just to immediately return to the interstate at the same exit if the interstate is making a curving turn and the exit is a shorter path.

I have had it try and route me through a LOT of incredibly stupid places too. It no longer has any aversion to subdivisions, apparently. If the speed limit and distance seem like they are a faster route, the new Rand 2.0 will send you there.

I've had my 740 for around a year and a half, not a single map update, just driver connect, and it never gives estimated tolls or option to compare toll route vs non toll route. Rand site says "lifetime maps" is for the usable lifetime of the unit, which they say is 36 months from it's introduction. What a crock
