Driven by upgraded technology and feedback from long-haul truck drivers, Rand McNally has launched two new truck-specific GPS units: the 5-inch IntelliRoute TND 510, and the large, high-definition 7-inch IntelliRoute TND 710.
The new units incorporate user-requested enhancements, the ability to incorporate real-time traffic, and a newly designed, thinner hardware unit.
New enhancements include:
* Virtual Dashboard - At a glance, drivers can view sunrise or sunset, odometer, speed, altitude and other key metrics.
* Traffic Predictor (Available only on the TND 710) - Integrates historic traffic patterns into routing.
* Real-time traffic compatible - Truckers can calculate driving time with congestion ahead, or seek alternate routes. An additional accessory is needed.
* View Current Location by Mile Marker - View location by mile marker along major interstates.
* Enhanced Truck-specific Points of Interest - Now includes truck washes, towing and service, and truck repair information from Truck Down®.
* Find a Location by Latitude and Longitude - Useful when delivering to oil fields, solar windmill fields, new construction, etc.
* Finding a Destination by ZIP Code - One of the most requested enhancements, the new feature includes three-character input for Canada
* Enhanced Quick Planner - Now includes user-defined average speed to further specify the time required from point to point.
* Multi-Stop Entire Route Preview - Now choose from Detail View, Highway View (New), Trip Summary and Summary Map View (New) to better review a planned route.
* Enhanced Voice Warnings - Drivers can prepare for sharp curves, upgrade/downgrade, time zone, upcoming construction, border crossing, and speed limit changes with user-set warnings.
* Loaded vs. Empty Option - Allows the driver to select whether he/she is carrying content; required for IFTA reporting purposes.
