Suppport Thread for the TND 500, TND 700 or future Rand McNally products.

I did go ahead and pick up a TND 510. Plugged it in and let it charge for 3 hrs. Then fired it up. Took a few minutes for the satellites to find me. One they did, I was impressed. Speed limits, with the exception of a few, and mile-markers were very accurate.

I haven't got to set up a route yet, but used it yesterday to see what roads and highways I would be approaching. I did bump up the speed warning, due to some of the speed limits being wrong. A couple of times I was thinking that the unit had a built in radar detector. Just about the time it chimed it's usual "Speed warning", a trooper was approaching. I know it doesn't have a radar detector, but it sure seemed like it.

I was able to do the updates tonight, and will be able to do more with it over the next couple of days.

 

Mark,I got it straightened out, updated on the PC, thanks, and congratulations on the baby girl.

 

Last night when i shut down for the night I turned off the GPS. From the VA/TN line on I-81 to exit 280 on I-40 it showed 55. When I got up this morning I turned it on and it showed correctly. This GPS is only 7 days old and I updated the night I bought it.

The calculator will not add, subtract or do anything correctly with percentages. Example: 1259 - 27% = 1258.73 another one 100 + 10% = 100.1. Everything is done as 0.~ whatever.

Also from Wythville, VA to Berryville, AR it routed me to Charleston, WV across I-64 that's wayyyy out of route. It should have been 81 south to I-40 west.

 

i run on percentage os if they are keeping 27% what you want to know is what you get do it this way 1259 (line haul) X .73 (what you get paid) will give you 919.07 to add any percent to a number just X it by 1.? so to add 10% to 100 just 100 X 1.1 will give you 110

from the main screen click on preferences then click on route then play with the route tab (shortest can have you running ittle roads alot) and freeways tab (prefer can add 100's of miles) if you change any of them it will change the route

the 710 had me on a 1 lane dirt road for 3.5 miles today because i had it set for shortest and stuped me i didn't check it first also so if it's not routing you the way you want to go just go the way you want it will change the route after a few

 

Flood I know how to add it for $400 I think it should too. I had it set for fastest and shortest. My cheap $100 Garmin can do a better job but it's for a car. The more I use this thing the less I like it. I'm to the point of taking it back and getting a Corba. It even has a red light camera alert.

US 231 from Oneonta to Ashville, Al is a truck route with two 80,000 lb limit bridges. It kept telling me to turn around not a truck route. I was legal to run the road. Setting it to 79,000 should not have to be done.

 

Mark this is the only calculator I have ever used in my 41 years that subtracts .27 and not subtract it as 27%. It should be 1259 - 27% 339.93 = 919.07 not 1258.73.

Here is how most other calculators do it.
You input 1258
then -
then 27% it will show 339.93 after you hit the % mark.
Then hit = it shows 919.07 not 1258.73.

Some will just show the total and not the amount coming out.
