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

Perhaps a option to turn off/on individual notifications would be good. Cause the notification will still be popping up all the time which in itself is annoying as well.

 

I don't mean that I don't get a warning of an off-ramp in enough time -- I mean the location of the off-ramp is wrong in the RM database (the RM says "exit now" about 1/2 mile after the off ramp has already passed). Only noticed this in Texas where they put you on a service road 3/4mile or so before your actual crossroad.

Three recent examples:

Breham TX when SB 36 bifurcates from 290
El Paso I10 WB exit 34
Anthony TX I10 WB exit 0


In the last example, you can see a gap in the landscaping where an off-ramp used to be (one that matches the RM database). However the current offramp is 1/2 east... Perhaps the others were relatively recent construction projects -- hard to say because it was night...



Today's GIS note: WB I10 @ NM mm50 has a curve warning. Road is 100% straight for another 4 miles -- where a curve ahead sign is posted around mm46. RM stays silent here, so I think the warning is just off by 4 miles...

 

Problem here with 520.
I am in Secaucus, N.J. The shipper is approx. 1.5 miles from I-95(NJTP). Run takes me from Secaucus to Hicksville, L.I., N.Y. and it takes 1.5 hours approx.. it goes from I-95 to GWB to 295 to 495 to Exit for Hicksville, L.I. which is exit 34 (?). Here is the problem, when I put my GPS on 53'er which I was pulling, instead of taking me on I-95 all the way to the GWB it takes me to I-287, Exit 12 (which is NYS Thruway) and then takes me all the way to I-95 South for some reason..... which routes me an extra hour on my trip. When I put the setting on 48'er it routes me the proper way. What could the problem be? It seems my GPS avoids I-95 at all costs. It has happened when trying to get to 2 other stops as well.any ideas or help.GPS is updated weekly.

 

Do you have it set to allow tunnels and tolls? Is the height settings correct? Low bridges? I'm not real familiar with New York area been years since I been out there but what about length restrictions?

 

53 ft trailer is restricted on i95 in NY only way to get the tnd to route you is by setting it to 48ft. They don't enforce the restriction but it is in the books

 

yes all settings r correct,thnx

 

didnt know that,hv always drpve 53s across gwb,along w/ everyone else.thnx for the info.
