    In my further adventures on OK-412, I turned north on OK-223 and the
    unit
    told me to make u-turns all the way to US160 in Mo. It was telling me to
    turn around and go 76 miles in a big loop until I was making the right
    turn
    onto 160, then it told me to go straight across, make a u-turn, and turn
    left on 160. The intersection T's off and there's no road there. Anyway,
    it
    went from 76 miles to 10 miles in the span of 20 feet.

    ************************

    RM - Can you give me anymoreinformation? I am not seeing where OK-223 meets with US-160 or US-412.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    It is in QA now... but expected to be released in the next month or two. A lot has to be verified and tested.

    Thanks,

    I don't either, probably because I was in Arkansas. See, that's why I need a gps or two. Half the time I forget which state I'm in, let alone what road I'm on or which direction I'm going.

    Don,
    I am NOT an actual beta tester, and I PURCHASED my device, for full price, so I think I speak with a little less prejudice.
    After several frustrations, after first buying the product, and threatening to do all sorts of things to get my money back, I finally met up with Mark, and he has been a GodSend, to using this device. The device is probably better than most. I have had only a few issues, since Mark helped me through the first "rough patch", and ARand McNally has been extremely fast on responding to issues. Between Mark, and Tony (someone at Rand who has some AUTHORITY) they have really bent over backwards, to make my use of the device very pleasant, and something I will brag about, rather than complain about.
    I looked very long and hard at the PC Miler, and the Garmin 465T, prior to buying, And I feel quite safe in saying, you will not get better customer care from ANY other manufacturer. Rand McNally has a great reputation in the truck mapping department, and they seem hell-bent on keeping that reputation in good standing with their customers. I am not trying to blow sunshine where the sun doesn't shine. I am simply extremely happy with the customer care and high quality of customer service I get from Rand. I put my word on it. You will not be any happier with any other brand.:biggrin_25514:
     
    Dave 1960, YachtMan and Mark Kling Thank this.

    There's no E. 85th st in KCMO on the TND. Which sucks because that is where I need to go. 465t picked it up fine.

    Oh, nevermind. There's 4 different ways to enter it for no apparent reason. Entering 85th st doesn't bring it up, but 85th by itself does. Facebook passwords again.

    There's an error of some kind that when you enter in a street starting with "wood" in Wichita, KS it will come up with the list but it only has a single street listed. You have to go into "list" to find the other 2 dozen or so.

    Zenith, KS is missing entirely from the database.
