    Are you sure you didn't add that after I asked? I swear I looked and did not see it. Oh well, I guess my eyes are weak from looking at the TND 500 too much....LOL. Thanks Mark!

    2 maintenace counters (count down) - truck tools\timers and logs

    Able to delete mileage logs by date -truck tools\timers and logs

    Quick stops (Truck stops, Walmart) - Choose Destination\Points of interest

    current trip folder - Choose Destination\Multi-Stop Trips (used for current trip to add\delete\change stops on the fly)

    physical speed indicator - main screen\go to map

    Skip to next stop (used to skip stops in Multi-stops) - Main Screen\Go To Map\Cog (lower left)

    Ability to detour roads from the Turn-by-Turn list.

    No GPS sign on Map screen when GPS signal is weak or none.

    POI's Car (turn on\off) - Preferences\truck settings

    What did not make the features:

    Total trip mileage if a multi-stop.

    Cannot see beyond the current segment of the Multi-stop

    Ability to manually enter numbers on all counters.

    These are being worked on....

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Mark....Sometime when you are over in the great town of Rockingham(rolling my eyes) and I am home off the road....you can drop off those glasses because apparently, mine are way too weak.

    That would work if you could just select by column. Like as it is you can only change the right column.

    Rand has already completed this feature, it just did not make V 1573. All counters can be changed manually, either by -\+ or manually.

    Thanks,
