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

I updated my 720 last night and it went fine. Go ahead and try your 520.

Those who are having issues with the 720 update, have you recently upgraded to Win 10? If so, did you uninstall the Dock and re-install?

Thanks,

Map first.

There seems to be some confusion as to HazMat routing. Columbus, OH for example, you have to take I-270 around even though you are going from for example I-70 to I-71. Anything in the city limits is restricted to HazMat through routing.

Here are some links to help you in showing Dispatch the legal truck routes for HazMat. If you are routed on a restricted HazMat route you will need to inform your dispatch. Remember you are the professional driver and you are responsible for following posted signage. Usually the HazMat signs are shown as HC on freeways.

If you decide to take "your route" you can get a hefty fine/points if caught.

Nothing back from RM yet. They are still testing on the x10's. Nothing back yet on tablets either.

Yes it is available and yes you need it connected. The Dock "sees" the device and sees if it needs an update or not based upon it looking at a file on the device and comparing it to the Dock Server DB.

Make sure you get an Micro SD Card. 8gb and at least class 10. It should have a 10 on it. This is the speed of the data transfer. A Class 4 will work, but the data transfer will be 2.5 times slower than the Class 10.
