    Mount = MT
    State Route = SR or state Abreviation (ie - NC)
    County Road = CR

    sometimes you have to try a few variations...

    But, glad you found it...

    Thanks,
    Mark

    I really wish i could set the arrival time. I operate on central time, yes my pickups and deliveries are made on their time zone but all my planning is done on my time zone. Got caught slipping this afternoon when asked by my planner when i could be in Mira Loma Ca to drop this load on our yard... looked at the GPS added 10 for sleep and 1 hour for good measure.. now i will be an hour late grrrrr

    You could have went to truck tools\timers and logs...looked at the dest clock which would have shown PST in your case and added two hours for central time after you figured your rest period in .

    But, I see your situation... I will have to ponder that one and see what I can suggest to RM.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Anyone tried this GPS in Chicago , New York City ,Jersey ect ? if it can get you through that without ripping off the roof of your wagon then it's worth it for me;)

    That's another one of my pet peeves with this unit, every other gps gave me the dest arrival time in my time zone and I would automatically correct for theirs. The TND always throws me off for a couple seconds.

    Hey Mark, Im having trouble with "Tell Rand" it may be wireless internet connection, so I thought I could relay a couple of things through you if thats ok.

    1)I-40EB in OK, was routed to the Pilot #460 at exit 140. The TND wanted me to go past exit I-40 to exit 142 and then go WB on I-40 back to exit 140
    2)I-40EB at MM358 in New Mexico, did not warn of weighstation on EB side of 1-40.

    Thanks,
    Dale
