It is their for the driver to use if if they please as a quick look at the hours they have remaining if they please. It is not an EOBR and DOT knows that.
You can turn it off under preferences/truck/update driver status - set to main menu buttons and make sure your HOS are set to above "0".
I ran 3 years with 4-5 units on my dash and was stopped a few times for other items, but never did they look at the Navigation device. Never got a ticket either. Well maybe one for overweight, but the company paid that as the warehouse forgot slip sheets under the paper rolls and the trailer was sealed when picked up.
You do not have to appear in court to fight a ticket, simply taking your case via a letter mailed to that court district before the court date to state your case.
The TND is not attached to the truck computers or satellite in any way shape or form. It is a simple free standing Navigation device for personal use. DOT officers that I talk to know that.
Thanks,

Well a word of advice for you 710 users, should your power button fail to work do not unplug the GPS from its power source, cause once the battery runs down the GPS shuts down and GUESS What. You cant turn it back on SHeesh what a bone head I am.
I was working on the CB today and unplugged the unit from the dash and placed it in the sleeper while I ran the wires concealed in the dash, when I was done the unit was off. Now I am not sure if I can save all my address info or not, sure sucks cause I need them. -
Also if you think a cop is going to look at your GPS to see if you have time available to drive you got problems. Common sense has to take over at some point sheesh.
Mark Kling and SilverShadow Thank this. -
Also any updates your user info is saved by date in a hidden path on your C:\.

Make sure you are using the USB cable that came with the TND and if this does not work, call Customer Support and ask for the 1.1 Blue USB hub. They will ship it to you and this will resolve the connection issue.
Thanks,
