    With my Rand McNally GPS picking up satellite signal. Constantly getting searching for signal, plus it’s not letting me do updates or repairs.

    Hi @hotrod1653, you should give the Hammer App a try, you would also have the ability to download offline map for those dead areas during a route.

    I’ve been driving for almost 20 years now still love the long haul runs so that is what I do mostly. I’ve tried Hammer Gps (beta) and the routing is odd usually not the best route usually a longer round and about route I haven't used in awhile so maybe its been updated and plus I was using the beta version so maybe that was part of it.

    It’s my GPS being affected. It’s not taking updates or repairs. Gonna try and use a different WiFi network and see what happens.

    The Rand McNally products are junk. Had 2 GPS and both lasted less than a year. Go back to an atlas will not break down.

    Oh believe me when I say I use that atlas of mine. It’s worn out and it’s a 2019 lol. The GPS is a tool that I use when I’m up in Winnipeg. I know how to get to the bulk of my customers up there, so that’s not an issue. My issue is trying to convert metric into imperial numbers.
