Rand McNally intelliRoute TND 500

Hope it didn't downgrade it. I read the release notes and it was all options that the unit already had.

 

What happened with Hanadarko, is that he is on a Mac. I sent him the next version soon to be released, due to the fact that he had to do an SD Flash to update his TND, since the Dock will not see the Mac yet.

He has been working on a DOS shell on the Mac so the Dock will be seen.

He got that working I take it... and since he did and connected to the Dock, it installed the version that was on the production server.

True, the Dock should see if your TND is on the current version and if it is then not update the EXE files, but still update the DB's that it needs to update.

I will pass that on. I am sure it is in the works.

Thanks,
Mark

 

RM is still working on that issue. So far I have seen on this thread that T5B were affected. Were any T5C affected? You can tell by looking on the back of the unit at the serial number.

Thanks,

I send your information about updating twice on two different computers. RM would like the logs from both computers.

under c:\logs

you will see the logs. We will need the logs for the date that you did the update. This is from both computers. If you did the update today, then you will have to exit out of the Dock on your start up icons (bottom right on your computer screen).

You can E-mail to me.

All, if you are having the license expired issue..make sure your TND Dock is on ver 1.0.55 or later, then update your TND. It should resolve your issue. If it does not then let me know.

If you are on a pure Mac, contact me if you do not have access to a DOS based computer.

Thanks,
Mark

 

To clear up a few comments:

...That was my concern. I wanted to update the DBs but not the actual firmware...so in this case, I ran the update via the TND Dock and then re-flashed the firmware Mark provided me. It worked.

Mainly, my updating is on a Macbook, which I outlined earlier in a post. There is no native support on a Macbook for this unit, but the procedure to update the TND is not overly complicated and with a minor amount of skill, anyone can do it - if all you have is a Macbook.

 

I'm not able to get updates.When I try it says I have no internet connection but I am connected. Whats going on with it?

 

OK, This thing only works for about a minute before a screen pops up and says invalid database. The license for the map database is invalid or has expired. Ready to take it back and just stick with the old fashion road atlas.

 

When you get a chance E-mail me... rmleadbetatester at gmail. I will give you my phone number then so you can call me.

Thanks,
Mark

 

Everything seems to be working ok now. Thanks for all your help Mark.
