    Big companies are in the "###### if you do ###### if you don't" rule because had they released the maps on time but with errors people would complain. But they waited so they could release a tried and tested product free of errors and people complain about it not being released on a set date.

    If you have a toll route in the route you should see a Toll screen pop up once the route is calculated.

    Map release is a product. I mentioned several times this was a business decision, yet I continued to get bashed about it. I mentioned I had no control over this product release, yet I continued to get bashed about it.

    This was something I had no control over and I did forward any posts that did mention about the map requests.

    No public release date as of yet. I am trying to confirm this. Don't hold this date in stone.

    Thanks,

    Ok. I will try it again. I had used the compare routes feature and never saw a pop up for the estimated toll cost. My route that I need takes me on the Kilpatrick Tollway around OKC and I-44 tollway.


    Not showing any pop up for tolls. And it is routing on the toll roads. Even tried another place that would take me on several toll roads and nothing.

    If you have not updated then you need to get the latest files before the toll feature works
     
    MachoCyclone Thanks this.

    MachoCyclone is correct. The Toll feature was publicized on the product box, but the files were just released a few weeks ago in an update. This is for the x30's models only.

    Thanks,

    RM has had 4 yrs to get it right and still it can't. If anyone is going to revolutionize the gps industry I would bet on Google. Just think of it, all the neat features of Google maps on a stand alone portable unit.

    Except Google has 0 knowledge about trucks or truck restrictions.

    Would have to disagree that it will RM if there such a real break thru coming in spring. Reason being they just came with the 730. They wouldn't come out with new model in 6 months.
