What is the best place to purchase the TND 700? I've been doing resarch on these and I really want one now.

 

Hi Mark,
Sure this is the Product Serial Number: A32T5B170766 of our old GPS,
and the one they sent us is: A32T5B17010F. We are in SW Michigan, heading back out Monday have no idea where we will go.

 

I got mine from
http://www.dieselboss.com
They also sell them at Petro and TA's

 

Well, I have been reading up on the tnd500 problems the past 45 minutes or so. I am getting the "unknown device" problem. Toshiba Gaming laptop, Qosmio x505. Doesn't get too much beefier than this. It also has a dual Esata/USB port. This port is designed for an external hard drive, which uses up a lot more juice than a little gps unit. I still cannot get the dock to load. Been sitting this whole time with it plugged in. The power light on the unit is green.

So I finally discovered where to download and manually install the Dock software. No problems. But even then, the computer will not recognize that the unit exists. Pretty frustrating. 64 bit Win7 Home Edition.

I havn't seen any posts more recent than a couple/few weeks... so whats the story here? Is there a fix to these gps units not asking for enough power? I do not have a desktop computer. I do not have a powered hub, but my combo Esata/usb/iLink port provides more than enough anyway.

Hey guys, I have a concern. I bought and received a Rand McNally TND500 and when I opened the box I noticed two things.

1. There is no external antenna connection on the rear of the unit.

2. The window mount is larger then the one shown in the pictures that I have seen, and also comes with a stylus. the GPS unit fits in the window mount and I know its the TND500, not the TND700.

Anyone have any info on this?

 

I emailed Rand and they replied back that my TND500 is the current model out. They said the new TND500 come with a stylus and no external antenna connection. It's a T5E.
Some other things I noticed were the power button, LED charge status light, Micro SD card, power jack/USB port, reset button and audio jack are all on the left side of the unit.
I used the GPS the other day and I can say that this unit is a great. I have read a lot of bad reviews about the TND500 on this forum and I really don't know why.

 

reply was posted in other RM thread.

thanks,
Mark

I have a TND-500 (T5E), can anyone tell me what is the largest size micro SD card I could use in the system?

Also, how much data can the TND-500 (T5E) hold without the extra micro SD card. I'm in the process of entering about 1000 locations into the "GROUPS and ADDRESS BOOK".
