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

I been looking to get the new 740 or that overdryve thing.

The traffic don't come with a receiver like garmin. You must use your hotspot for traffic?

Where do you guys get the traffic from?

 

For me the traffic feature is not a deal breaker..

Google traffic is very good and free and only use it when i am coming into known high traffic areas. As far as being rerouted i have found you are better off waiting for it to clear up than taking a detour.

I am really wanting it for the new maps and speed. My 720 works great but like me it is very slow.
I hope the 740 will be my last gps since i will be retiring in 5 years.

 

you must use a hotspot for traffic on the 740. which ends up being about the same data usage as if your running goggle traffic for the same time. the difference i can see being that the 740 SHOULD reroute you down a truck route where as Google will offer another route but its for cars, so unless you know the area its a guess as to whether or not you will make it.
and as for rerouting, sometime waiting is better, but now with the ELDs, can we afford to wait?? and in a lot of areas, 2 lane roads can be quicker than a stand still on the interstate. So.....
BUT the Live traffic needs to work right in the first place..

 

Dock may be down... RM is looking into this.

Thanks,
Mark

 

Hey Mark,
I'm looking to sell my 8 inch tablet, and get a new OverDryve 8 Pro when it comes out.
I want to keep my truck settings, old mileage, and address book, and transfer it to the new device, but, at the same time, I want to sell the TND T80 in the out of the box state.
So, what files do I need to copy from T80 to my computer, and what files do I need to erase on T80, so it's in the "Out of the box" condition?

Thanks

 

Thanks Mark I just tried registering again, I'm thinking something is down.

 

Loves in Cumberland Maryland is the only place I've found the OverDryve. Is there a list of pfj stores anywhere that currently have it in stock?

 

try online - Best buy or Amazon?? you will probably get a better price anyway. I bought my 740 online and then bought a Square Trade 2 yr Warranty. @ $50 cheaper total then the truck stop.

 

Yeah that would absolutely be the way I'd go if i didn't have $592.xx in points at pfj.
