Review on 🚚 Rand McNally OverDryve 8 Pro: Advanced 8" Truck GPS Tablet with Dash Cam and Bluetooth by Will Ridpath

The block itself is fine. The windshield mount is total crap. I drive semi-trailers and the roads are very bad and things shake really, really badly at times. The bracket must be strong and very stable. There is no factory bracket. Rand McNally gets a big fat F+++ for not testing the device before it went public. The factory windshield mount that connects to the device is attached to the smart mount. This smart mount connects to the real device with a magnet. The magnet is the "glue" that holds everything together. Please someone tell Rand McNally's design team that this wasn't well thought out. The magnet holding the GPS device that is also connected to the smart mount is EXTREMELY weak. It's not strong enough to be mounted and held onto a tricycle in choppy conditions, let alone tractor-trailers. The three WEAK plastic pins holding it to the smart mount will break or shake enough to dislodge the magnet at the junction of the device and smart mount (causing the GPS device to fall) which I guarantee and promise . How do I know? i had three The fourth will be a universal mount that will match the distance between the smart mount (due to the distance between the GPS device and the smart mount) and will attach to the tablet itself. If it works, and there's enough room in the back for the smart mount to breathe (because it gets REALLY hot!) and it doesn't get in the way of the windshield mount, chances are it's strong enough for both the GPS box and the smart -Handle bracket. There are a few software issues Rand McNally needs to fix. One of these is the on-screen mile marker (pretty but never accurate), you'll have to adjust it manually if you use it at all (my suggestion is to get rid of it). Second speed warning. It is possible to receive audio / video or or or. I prefer to use only visual effects, the sound never stops, especially when you push the limits. My suggestion: the color should be green within the given limits that you can personalize. Red when out of range. Instead, it's just yellow when you're out of bounds and black when you're in bounds. Third, it turns off when the smart mount has constant power. I do not know why? Fourth, the power cord has a green LED indicator attached to the bottom of the power plug. He's always green. However, it does not save the charge of the device. That is, if the power cord is unplugged or unplugged, the device will turn itself off without turning off the power. Fifth, the odometer settings one / odometer work at the same time. Sixth, the GPS voice gives turn-by-turn directions, which is great. The problem is that this is repeated too often. Its predecessor had cool features that let you choose a driver. HOS ie drive time and break, 10 hour DOT warning, different avatars distinguishing which driver is driving (if there are multiple drivers). It's not like this. They charge a lot for the problems he has. The saving grace is ninety days of free XM Sirus Radio, which makes it really cool. There are a few other issues that justify the one star rating. Buy and see for yourself. If you do, please get an extended warranty! You"will" need it!
