    Connect the TND to the computer, close the Dock. In your start up menu look for computer. This will show all drives connected to your computer. Look for an external drive that has the Navi, RM, NaviVoices, and Navimaps on it. Then follow the paths.

    If all you see is C:\, then open the "computer" on the window to see all drives.

    Expound on mileage and the time please

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Main Screen/Preferences/Map/Truck POI Icons -

    On will show the scales/rest areas on the map screen.
    Off will not show the scales/rest areas on the map screen.

    Getting off the exit too soon. Let me know since there may be an incorrect restiction in place on your exit. Would need state/freeway/exit/direction.

    Speed on GPS versus truck. The GPS goes by Lat/Long versus distance traveled. Your Truck Odometer is set for a brand new set of tires off the factory floor. You run the tread down and it will affect your odometer and mileage readings.

    The clock you mentioned actually was a debugging tool we were using to fix an issue and Rand just left it in. I will mention about the size. You can also click on the upper right and set that area to local time.

    Elevation is also a selection on the map screen in the upper right.

    (note - you must be in a route)

    Can you E-Mail me the link to your video so I can send to my boss?

    Great video btw..

    Thanks,
    Mark

    I second what Mark said. Excellent video. Honest and descriptive, but fun the way you produced it.

    Great JOB!

    Any way to have the blue box in the upper right on the 720 have a "final destination arrival time"? If you program in stops, it will only show the eta to the first one. It'd be nice to be able to see the arrival at the last stop too.

    I didn't get all the info from him, he was in a hurry. I will have to get more info from him next time he gets in touch. It sounded like it was something that shows how much time and how far to the destination. I will double check on it next time I talk to him.

    Thank you for the info on the path. I was thinking I needed to find the files on the C: drive.

    I will hold onto the info and try it when he gets home in a month or so.

    Thank you

    That would be a little more tricker as Rand would have to try in figure in breaks. If you slide out the Turn-by-Turn list at the top it shows total hours/mileage for the entire trip.

    Thanks,
