    what are some features or warnings you would like to see?


    A one button full trip route map would be nice.

    Via points that are really via points. So when I put in a truck stop for fuel, it will not change the original route.

    actually that question came up about a week ago. Rand is looking at that because RV's need to know.

    Thanks,

    Still loving the TND 700!

    Coming out of Black River Falls, WI fom the Flying J at exit 116 the unit told me to go east instead of west...and, well...not paying attention, I did, lol.

    It routed me to the 1st exit eastbound and turned me around there.

    No big deal...just saying.
     
    Mark Kling Thanks this.

    Is either the 500 or 700 capable of playing mp3s like some of the garmins models?

    Just recieven my TND 700 Today. Installed the TND DOC (win xp) And when I went to do the update, it automaticly updated 35 files. WOW!!So Far no issues, but I guess that is because I have yet to let it set for 2 hrs & then take it outside to get the Sat Info.Will keep you all abrest.Thanks

    Anyhow West 15th Avenue Gary IN just off of the 912. A few truck companies
    have terminals there. The exit and ramp onto the 912 is right there where my
    yard is! You can see it from the yard. Yet the TND 700 will route you way
    out of the way if you want to get onto the 912. Even if you ignore the GPS,
    it will recalculate and send you way off in another direction. IE North when
    you want to go South.

    *************************

    Their was a restriction on this road. It has been corrected and will be in the next map update..

    thanks,

    It's not that it couldn't find a particular intersection. If you pressed the find intersection button it comes back "none found". As though there were no roads at all in Sioux falls to create intersections.


    The first Sioux Falls is on a boundry line, if you select the second Sioux Falls you should be able to find intersections.

    Thanks,
    Mark
