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

Well my 510 started acting goofy today. The weigh station ahead warning pops up, however there's no weigh station in the area. Might be a rest area, or a toll booth. There was one such warning that had "Rest Rooms" across the bottom. I finally had shut the warning off, by changing the miles to 0.

Any idea what's going on with it?

 

I don't have any custom POI's , so can't be that. The weigh station warning has always worked correctly. Yesterday was the first time it has done this. I did shut it off. The only changes made was the last/latest update. That's when the Curve Ahead warning changed from Sharp Curve Ahead to just Curve ahead. I also now get "Your Route will (take you or lead you, can't recall which right now) on a dirt road. Never had that before the update.

What do you mean by the big POP? The pop-up I'm getting is the same size, and appears to be the normal weigh station pop. It even used my setting of 2 miles. What really drew my attention to it was the "Rest Rooms" on it. I've never seen that on the weigh station pop-up before. I wished I'd had my screenshot turned on.

 

This is a quick example, as it's all the time along this route, others are somewhat sporadic.
Kansas, Lyon County, Road 175, from Coffey/Lyon County line west to Emporia. It of course wants to route me down those county gravel roads. Other times it would pop up just after starting a trip at a shipper/quarry.

The weigh station-restroom first popped up 2 miles west of the Ottawa Rest Area, I-35, about mm 174.

 

Sorry, should have put that, it's Ottawa, Kansas.

Also just noticed that when I run the diagnose & repair, it shows issues with 3 files. I run the repair, which it says it has successfully repaired. Then out of curiosity, after about 30 mins, I plugged the unit back in, and ran the diagnose & repair again. Well, it shows issues with 3 files. I'm only to catch 2 of the 3 it reportedly repairs, ZipCodes.db & UserGPS.ini. I don't know what the 3rd file is, as it goes to fast for even my screen capture program (Camtasia Studio) to catch. But it repeatedly thinks those files need repaired.

I'm fairly advanced on understanding computers. I've looked around the unit while plugged into my PC. What I've not been able to find, on my PC, is where the back-up is stored. I would like to locate this, copy it to another location. Then if possible do a hard type restore. Meaning take the unit back to an original purchased state, then restore my addresses and such. Is this possible? If so how would I accomplish this?
