    Truck GPS on the TND is not on Android.

    If you are referring the freezes on v3322, see the support thread

    In thinking of about what you said, this site is pretty much dedicated to the passing of information. Bad/Good companies, Taxes, O/O issues, maintenance section, electronics, etc etc.

    This site is a melting pot of passing information for those that seek a solution to issues that they have be it personal, with pay, with equipment or passing of information.



    Correct me if I am wrong in the above.

    Well I think I'm the only one here that bought one lol. Will try this thing out tomorrow. Pretty similar to my tnd 720 besides the obvious screen resolution, weather map overlay, tablet and dash cam portion, and faster recalculate times. Other than that nothing has jumped out at me yet but I only played with it for a few minutes

    Will RM have a booth at the Mid America Truck show? I'm interested to see the tablet and the 530.

    Nope, I picked one up today too, so far so good, there are items which are worrying me though, in particular the magnet mount, been playing with features/tablet side so far, the "in truck test" comes late tonight/tmrw

    It has had plenty of road miles and the tablet has not fallen off the magnetic mount. If you notice if you get with an inch of the base it will pull it out of your fingers to the slice.

    "road miles"
    Heh, that's what worries me, I do flatbed in and out of some pretty rough jobsites in an older (94) truck, (though being in skokie, I'd be amazed if you didn't put it through i94 in Michigan at least)

    Ok so I guess every Loves will have one unit available plus the demo model for the case. I passed a Loves in Ohio and looked at the Box. Not much information on the box itself. Looking forward to some reviews of the tablet GPS. I wonder if it has the same antenna as the TND. I know my phone is way off because it uses the towers to triangulate.
