Disappointment Part 2

The first TND 85 was an expensive brick. Unpacked and after a few minutes it won't start anymore. The second is in many respects inferior. First, the navigation instructions constantly force me to exit and re-enter the same interstates. Second, the tablet freezes constantly. Third, the tablet cannot find alternative ways to save its life. I didn't want to take Hwy 77 to WV so I took 35 instead, but the tablet never counted.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Only available in black

Totally unreliable

Apparently this junk hasn't been tested at all. The map tells you to go in one direction and the voice prompts tell you the opposite. When I tried to exit onto I55 N in West Memphis, he tried to get me to turn left into oncoming traffic instead of taking the right exit like I was supposed to. When you're driving on the interstate, it constantly tells you to get off when you're not, and it has to recalculate the route when it finds you're still on the interstate. The TND740 always had an…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Hard to say

Bad product in in-dash navigation

Total disappointment! I have had a tnd80 for a number of years and there are no recent updates. So I ordered a new tnd85 and registered it immediately after charging. Then it activated and I did an update and went to settings and it froze. 20 minutes later it worked again. I finished the settings and went into the navigation and after 3-4 minutes it crashed. Again after 20 minutes it works again and crashes before I can specify the destination. This happened 3 times. Then I plugged in the…

  • Special offer

Only buy if you drive a van or car. I'll write

Started with 740td and will come back to it. I like that they updated the graphics and UI, but I don't like the fact that it takes more than 2 menu clicks to get what I need. I 'love' how it's 'supposed' to be a trucker GPS, but it caters more to cars and SUVs, everything I need to drive a truck is hidden behind menu after menu. While everything needed to drive a car or van is right there on the main map, I don't know why Rand McNally doesn't ask the driver how best to customize the UI, but…

Pros
  • electronics
Cons
  • later.
