New Rand McNally TND 85 (Huge Disappointment)

#### all the fun I miss out on. Still don’t have one those fancy. GPS things in my truck. Do it the old fashioned way. Road atlas and call customers. Been working for me since 1988. I do have a question though. I see drivers with 2 of those things mounted to the windshield is 2 not enough?.

 

I'm guessing one is a GPS the other a tablet being used for an ELD.

 

I’ll stick to using Garmin and the TruckMaps app on iPhone. They never let me down

 

Do you realize that by the time that atlas is printed the maps are 4 years old?

A GPS is nothing more than an electronic atlas with more conveniences. ie. Truck stops,rest areas, construction zones etc.

They are quite handy when planning your trips.

A GPS is just another tool to help make our lives a little easier.

 

I understand and I was serious with my question. Just seems that it’s a lot of money for not so reliable information. But we all have our ways to get the job done.

 

I don't use one to find my way but to optimize my route and plan my day.

Some people have more than one because they offer different features.
I just downloaded an app on an inexpensive tablet that has all the features combined and offers multiple routes to choose from to best plan your day.

 

RM has a class action legal action in progress.
It is for the tablet products.
A search will bring up info.
