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

PM me your start/stop locations.

I see the issue and passed that onto RM GIS.

Thanks,

Clines Corner (i40 x 218 in NM) is no longer showing up as a truck stop.

It will not route to the TA in Moriarty, NM coming from the east on US66 -- it wants you to exit i40 west of of the TA and loop back



Routing bug:

Joplin to San Diego -- fastest route is 200 miles shorter than shortest route. Fastest route still manages to include a bizarre 30-extra mile detour on US 64 west of Tulsa

 

I submitted the Cline's Corner to RM GIS.

TA - I send to RM GIS.

Joplin/SD - Prefer - shortest 1612/fastest 1614, Allow - shortest 1570/fastest 1591, Send me a pic of the odd detour. I am using the next set of maps so if you do see the odd detour it may have been corrected.

Thanks,

Thanks for checking -- I'm too far away to rerun it, but once I hit the toll plaza around big cabin on i44 it recalculated correctly.

Settings:
Empty (33,000lb) 48' 96" allow all, avoid u turns, avoid ferry, avoid dirt, avoid border.

 

Sometimes for extra beer money I will drive a stretch limo around the city and it's a long 8 passenger one. When I go though the car wash the soap is already on the windshield before the trolly makes contact with the wheel. My question is what setting should I use for that? I've been using "Car" but would "Straight Truck" be better? Because some turns on angle streets are a nightmare and make me look very unprofessional.

 

Those of us that have Facebook know of the little round picture icon that pops up when you get a message. Well I was in GPS mode and that little round icon popped up right on my map. I swiped in down to center bottom to get rid of it but I wouldn't go away. I had to power down and reboot to return to normal. That was on the TND Tablet. This is one of the reasons I say GPS should shut down all apps.

 

Since you are long you can try a straight truck or an RV model. The truck model since you can "bend" with a trailer will give you more right hand turns while an RV does not "bend" and will give you more Left Hand turns to route you around.

Thanks,
Mark

 

Some say shut them down, others say they want them. So, setting it one way will not make the crowds happy. Like I mentioned before, on the main screen tap on the double boxes at the bottom and swipe to shut down any apps running, then return to the Truck GPS

So I noticed that the new 730s come with lifetime traffic.. I paid just as much for my 710, we should get lifetime traffic too vs having to pay 20 bucks a month for it

 

Lifetime Traffic is $20 a year, not month.

The 710 requires a external Traffic Antenna since it has no Wi-Fi capability.

If you are going to be at GATS stop by the support desk and see me.

Thanks,
Mark
