    Rand-McNally Intelliroute TND 500

    I have the T5B. It has an SD card slot that is occupied 100% of the time, meaning that it has a card in the slot and it remains there. I will have to redock my TND and check for updates to see what is up. More great info! Thanks, Mark!

    Rand-McNally Intelliroute TND 500

    Mark, Thanks for all the good info. I re-read my email reply from Rand, and it does not state clearly whether map updates would be available for download, so I was left to conlude that those updates would be available to users. 2.5 gigabytes is small potatoes for a DVD purchased online...

    Rand-McNally Intelliroute TND 500

    Using your phone for GPS may help in certain short run cases. Do you want to be tying up your phone line for hours, though, and have to depend on the reliability of your cell phone link? I wouldn't want to rely on a shaky cell connection, ESPECIALLY in the small, remote towns. Trucks are hard...

    Rand-McNally Intelliroute TND 500

    Some great questions and comments coming on this thread! Yes, out of the box one only gets the suction-cup windshield mount. That is one quibble I do have--that mount puts the GPS out of my reach and is blurry with my current non-bifocal glasses. So, yes, I did have to go to Wal-Mart for a...

    Rand-McNally Intelliroute TND 500

    Yea. Mine required 27 file updates from their internet web site after I got it home. Yes, you will have those problems right out of the box. The file updates fix those problems. At least, they did on mine. As for the routing in NYC and boroughs, it is good. Clearance heights were good...

    Rand-McNally Intelliroute TND 500

    A couple of other things.... It lets you input the type of hazmat you are carrying, and makes appropriate routes. It lets you input your home terminal time zone and keeps it, automatically updating itself for accurate time. For the input keyboard on the touchscreen, it lets you pick a...

    Rand-McNally Intelliroute TND 500

    Yea, that's the going rate. Forgot to mention Lane-Assist. What it gives you is a full screen detail of the number of lanes ahead that you can use for your next turn. For instance, does the interstate branch off, or split, ahead using two, three, or just a single lane? It accurately tells...

    Rand-McNally Intelliroute TND 500

    I recently purchased this unit and am quite impressed with this system. I wrote a little about it under the Nuvi 465t thread. I was wondering if any one else out there has one. The multi-point route system is very nice, and works well. It has gobs and gobs of POI (point-of-interest)...

    Nuvi 465T

    I just purchased the Rand McNally unit. It is VERY IMPRESSIVE, I must admit. But, you must update the software with an internet connection before use. As I found out, when using out of the box, it has a few bugs: 75 miles from your next turn, it will be telling you that you need to turn in...
