Support Thread for the TND 500, TND 700 or future Rand McNally products. (part two)

biggest prob i have with the routing mine does is when i'm running here in Texas, it LOVES to try and send me down Farm to Market roads. (signs will say FM 969 for example.) 99% of the time once you get @ 150 feet down the road, boom, signs galore weight restricted to 58,000. since rand routes you in segments, it picks up that anybody can go down those 150 feet and expects the entire road to be that way. it's not. so heads up to ya'll that don't run Texas that often cause the locals would love to have a conversation with you while your grossing 78k down their road.

 

you can check avoid small roads on routing preferences

 

Tablet won't route down I95 in NYC and across the GW Bridge. Trucks are allowed on this route. Can this be corrected?
Also in Virginia the TA at exit 150 is closed.
Thanks Mark!

 

To get it to route in NYC you have to set as a 48/96 trailer as gw to 295 is not staa approved

 

doesn't always work, and when you do that it will at times knock off smaller state highways that are perfectly fine to 80k trucks to go down. just boils down to the fact that a gps is a guide, always check the map book.

 

Agreed... Report away..

My point is don't become so dependant the brain stops working .. Work 'with' the machine ..

Mine has flaws too.. Even Google goes down... What doesnt

my 2¢

 

yes it is, to 695 to 295 anyway: http://www.panynj.gov/bridges-tunnels/gwb-traffic-restrictions.html

again incorrect. Rand just doesn't want to correct it. Then again, just found out Garmin doesn't even have trailer length as an option so at least Rand is ahead of Garmin at the moment.

 

Mine refuses to detour at all. I click on the leg of the trip to detour, but it just puts the same road right back up there.

 

Go back to page 149. I am having the same issues. It looks like they have a fix but they are still testing it before releasing it to us.
