I had three different Rand McNally TND30's overheat and crashed the hard drive, complete waste of money on them.
Replaced them with Cobra 7600 Pro, and have not had any problems at all, it works great...if Rand McNally could keep their units from crashing and overheating, I would still be using them.

The 7" Garmin. The newest truck model, and love it. We tried the rand McNally tablet, but we don't like it.
My TND 30 works just fine ..and it even took a smack on the pavement when a guy was trying to steal it .i love it
good, maybe you will be one of the lucky ones that get more than a month's or so use out of it
I've had Garmins for at least 10 years, and love them. I upgraded the first basic model when I found one that plays Audible audiobooks, but that was not a success, because the truck was too noisy to hear well, and no port for earbuds. Then I upgraded again to the current one [a 550, I believe, too lazy/comfy to go look, lol] which has lifetime traffic and map updates. I like it a lot, but you still need to use your own eyes - they're not foolproof, for sure.

Have Garmin 650. No real problems yet. Will update next home time. Had a TomTom for van. Really like some of the features, wished my 650 shared them. Like being able to look for truck stops near destination without having to reload state, city, address every time you ask for other info..
Don't think it has that options. Whenever u leave the current map, to return to route, u have to click on
"Where to" then click on " recently found" then click on the route u were on.. It's a pain to do that while running. I will look for the options u ask
