gps

I have a little story about the use of a GPS that almost got me in a world of trouble. It can't come back on me now, it was too long ago and I'm not there anymore. I got a load for an exclusive club in Key Largo with it's own private landing strip and marina. It was a one way in and one way out...

Hello Everyone, Just launched our new Low Bridges alerts & SAFE Truck GPS mobile app. Works offline, during navigation, route deviation or just in background. Basically you can start the app, leave in foreground or background and it will just alert you early enough to tale an exit when there's...

Excerpt: "Do you know where you’ll be on April 6, 2019? If you heavily rely on GPS, you may not be able to determine where you are when that date rolls around. That’s because GPS navigation technology was originally built with a short-sighted timekeeping system that will reset next month and...

I’m new so wanted to know why would a person need a RM Or Garmin. When the i phone has all sorts of map programs to choose?

I would like to find out how many of you drivers are using a Rand McNally GPS. Please tell me which model GPS are you using and when was the last time you had an actual map update and MPH update. I don't mean a road construction, I mean an actual map update. Please tell me what the version...

Anybody use any of the POI files from POI Factory? POI Factory | GPS and other interesting topics I guess I am curious as to whether Rand Mcnally (or other GPS units) update truck stops and such via their periodic updates, or do you just have what the GPS came with and have to use these POI...

Hello, I'm new here and I work for a small company trying to create an app for Professional drivers. Currently it's in Beta stages and only features a few things like Weather, Deals (Coupons), Locations (Truck specific locations etc.) and Navigation (Truck Safe Nav.) I am just polling if an...

A friend of mine is selling and Rand McNally 710. I borrowed this week to see how it would do with my Garmin. The Rand McNally NEVER would give the the choice of routes. It would pop up just 1 route and you had to take that one. Is that option not available on this model or is it the nut...

I purchased one of these the other day and I'm pretty sure I'm going to return it. It seems to take me down roads I probably shouldn't be on. Doesn't seem to be very user friendly. Or maybe I'm just dumb. Does anyone else use on of these or have a suggestion for a better one?

Seriously....... These aren't students, but they were talking to some students. The wife explained that they were constantly running out of hours at their previous company because while one was driving, the other one was often up in the passenger seat navigating with their road atlas. They...

I just came West through Pittsburgh. I've done it a bunch of times. Even at 5am if it weren't for the GPS I can't imagine anyone navigating through there. Without the advance knowledge that you need to be in the left 2 lanes then the right two lanes then exit left and so on there's no way...

I have the TND 520. And on more then one occasion, she has put me onto some really small state highways. One happened the day before yesterday. It was supposedly a two lane road but the lines painted on the center were obviously just for looks because I had to use the entire road. God help me if...

CANONSBURG, Pa. — A Florida truck driver faces a hearing before Washington County District Judge David Mark Wednesday after spending several days in the Washington County jail after he drove his 59,346-pound big rig onto a road with a 10-ton weight limit. He was pulled over Saturday by...

It knows the road is closed. Get that? It. Knows. The. Road. Is. Closed. So why the hell did it still route me that way? :bonk: That's the westbound ramp from 80 to 80 in Lake Station that's been closed for like a year. It's nothing but pylons. Good thing it at least told me it's...
