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

besides letting me know how many more miles I have to go Rand McNally is old technology or at least dated looking screen. I can do better with my I phone and a map.

 

Was out of communication this weekend. Sent you a PM.

 

Anything back from them?

Has there been ANY updates sent out for the Tablet 70 since release?
The maps are old and the software is like my 730 was before the last update.
For the cost of this thing, I would like for it to be up to date.

 

Here's an oddity. My tnd80 tablet, the time in the truck GPS for some reason is one hour ahead. Yet the main time on the tablet itself is correct. And this just happened in the last day. Use to be dead on. Showing 534 central on the tablet but 434 Pacific (current location) in the actual GPS software...

 

This is an issue that I had last year at this time. Seems RM does not seem to know the correct dates for Daylight Savings Time. Mine is also now showing 1 hr forward than correct time.

 

that's the way it should be.... showing the time for the time zone your in
the tablets time was set by you and will not change but the gps will show the time were you are so when you go back to central time zone the gps will auto change just as it will if you go to eastern time zone

 

OK, but mine is showing 1 hr forward in all time zones. In NM the GPS app was saying 1030 local time when it was actually 0930, and I just entered Texas and it is showing 1342 and correct time is 1242. Until yesterday it was spot on accurate. Now it is 1 hr forward. No settings have been charged. So either it assumed DST started or there is a time bug that happened on 2 tablets (Yes I have 2, one for backup in case main one fails)
