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

I think the better way would be to get maps from google and adapt them to work with truck routes. I don't think the other suppliers have much incentive to update the maps very often, at least that's the way it seems. Just my opinion as I have been using the TND's since the 700 model and in certain areas map info is a lot older than 2 yrs.

 

Mark are you getting my emails?

Iirc the app froze near the Ohio/Indiana border on i70 east. This was the first time. It froze yesterday on I 95 north in Maine heading towards Lewiston. I can't recall where I was for the other times it froze.

 

>> I tried that argument awhile back - Way to complicated

 

Have a speed correction for you Mark
I76 OH From where it intersects with i80 (thats where i jump off) West bound back for at least 40 miles, the posted limit is 70 and i believe has been for a year (???)
Rm still showing 65

 

Soo I thought maybe some maps were corrupted but I was parked and going through the menus to start a new trip and it froze on me again. This time in Massachusetts on US 24 maybe 30 miles south of Boston. I manned up and did the GPS repair but it didn't come up with anything broken.

 

My 740 is still going back to screen saver - seems like when i hit bumps???
It has popped off several time in the past few weeks and fell on floor, i checked the back, looks clean and undamaged.
but this is annoying
