    I have the same settings but I have to avoid tolls, thats it.

    I looked, I dont have the Ogalalla to Carthage route but I do have the Jackson, OH, to Muncie, IN which is another crazy route it only adds about 100 miles onto the route.

    The first picture is from Ohio, going to Muncie, IN. Both routes are telling me to go into Indianapolis then back to Muncie.

    FINALLY after selecting cites I know are on Highway 37, it will let me take that route to Muncie but you can see the miles are considerably less.

    I would like to see that and with settings that will allow you to set the distance of the warning. Because sometimes I drive around with the 520 on monitoring the red light cameras but not having a route entered. Sometimes I don't need the gps.

    Or how about if RM gave us the Low Clearance data in a POI file and then the viaduct heights would momentarily pop up in the bottom bar just like my red light camera warnings do. Doesn't matter what height we have in settings I would like to see all viaducts visual in the bar as in the pic below.. Or even a standard simple yellow street sign with the height. Now that would be sweet.

    Hey Mark,

    My TND720 had me mowing down corn and fences and jumping ditches and creeks again. Highway 20 going east through Iowa, from Hwy 71 on.

    Also, 494 and 169 interchange in Minnesota is NOT correctly mapped. 494 West to 169 South ramp, RM shows a 270 degree right hand ramp that does not exist. Rather it is a 90 degree left hand ramp.

    What do you mean 'in the next set or maps'?

    Is that like a system update that can be done periodically.

    I see milemarkers and speed limits that are wrong ALOT.

    "In 500 feet, make a U-turn IMPOSSIBLE". Over and over, why?

    Why does it try to make me do u-turns on private property? Especially when I am on a STAA truck route?

    I cannot see how it routes that way unless you added Indy into the route. I tried Avoid Freeways, Allow, Prefer and none of them take that route. You might have set an avoid somewhere also.

    Your second picture is starting at the state line, not Jackson, OH.

    You have a dashcam behind the 720. You will need more separation between the two as the dashcan will interfere with the TND.

    Let me have all your Preferences/Route settings.

    Thanks,

    It has to do with the truck restriction data being a proprietary database that Rand uses to overlay into the Map Data at Compile time. Rand does not give this data to HERE.

    Thanks,

    So you would not prefer to have me on this site helping drivers out? I have been on this site since 2007 and helping drivers with TND issues and questions since 2008.

    Do you see the other GPS companies on this site helping drivers out?

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hwy 20 - unless you lost GPS along that way, I see nothing wrong in the map data.

    The ramp is correct, in the next map data.
