TND 750

I use a 740. To get distance from a point, like destination, there are a couple of ways to do it.

One way, after you have entered the address, is to cancel route. Then click on magnifying glass, then click History. Find the destination address and click on it. Then click on SET ORIGIN. This makes the GPS assume you are at that address instead of your current location. From there you can search for truck stops that are near the destination or on the route.

Another way is to enter your origin & destinations and pick a route. Once the route is chosen, click on magnifying glass and truck stops and just scroll down the list until you find what you want, like nearest destination or the chain truck stop you want.

I don't think there is a way to move information from appearing at one place on screen to another place on screen.

I've had my 740 for nearly 4 years. I will replace it with a Garmin. Rand McNally doesn't support their devices. I haven't gotten a map update in at least 2 years. There are numerous bogus HazMat restricted routes in the database that are not in real world.

My advice is turn it off when you get parked. Unplug the charger when you aren't using GPS, keep it out of direct sun and keep it cool to prolong its life. Garmin gets fewer complaints. Rand McNally has had serious problems staying in business and let customer support slip.

 

On the 740 I can click on Guided Search, click on CITY then click POI (points of interest) then click on TRAVEL CENTERS and it will show locations of that type near the city. I use that method as a last resort when I cannot find truck stops & rest areas along my route. For example, there might be a truck stop or rest area one or two exits or a short distance beyond a customer. The above technique is also good if your are doing a 34 and want to find places in the area.

 

Cheer up. IYour old GPS is a RM, it was going to "break" soon anyway. LOL
