    I was driving out of New York which has a truck speed up 95 into Connecticut it kept saying truck speed until I got to 91 north in New Haven which I think is about 40 miles.

    My GPS tried sending me down a 30ton bridge the other day, i was empty so i did it, but how do i report this? Do I click on the "tell rand" button? Does that send a message immediately to someone?

    Also there seems to be multiple problems with my GPS thinking the bridge over the interstate, right next to a truck stop i might add, is restricted, so she makes me go to the next exit, turn around, and come back to the offramp in another direction. I have yet to see an overpass over an interstate, by a truck stop, that would be restricted. Has happened a couple times in the past few months.

    Build it and they will come.... :biggrin_25526:

    Most of the time it is incorrect data in the mapping database. If you could let us know where then it can be checked.

    If you hit the Tell Rand button, it saves it on the TND and the next time you update it will send all the stored Tell Rand's up to RM..

    Or you could just post it here.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    This restriction has since been removed.

    Did not make it in time for the next map update, but will be the one after.

    Thanks,

    When there is a weight restrictted bridge, is it off limits completely, or do u factor in my current weight? There's a setting in truck info to change my gross vehicle weight, just wondering if its worth changing whether or not I'm empty

    based upon what you enter is what routing it will take you on... it you enter 40,000 and their is a bridge rated at 41,000, then it will take you accross it, but if you put 42,000 then it will not route you on it.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    It is set. Are you trying to type in French or English?

    Will the tnd 710 route shortest route using state and county highways that are truck legal? I very rarely hit the iinterstate and a lot of gps will tell me to go all the way over to a major highway instead of going diagonal along state and county roads to get me where I'm going. Also, does it have weight restricted routes and bridges? Thanks
