Rand McNally has launched the next generation of its TND line – the TND 750 and the TND 550 – truck-specific GPS devices that include the company’s Navigation 2.0 software.
New features include truck routing, a refreshed interface, crowdsourced POI reviews, and new visuals, including three-dimensional cities and landmarks.
“These new TNDs mark a giant step forward with upgraded hardware and the new, improved mapping and truck routing on board,” said Stephen Fletcher, CEO of Rand McNally.
The TND 750 and 550 come with a high-definition 7-inch and 5-inch screens, respectively. Besides the updated navigation software, the sixth generation of TND devices include:
an upgraded magnetic mount on the 750
improved processors for faster routing, quicker responses, and smoother graphics
live traffic, current fuel prices, weather conditions down the road, and crowdsourced and rated points of interest
enhanced driver tools such as mileage and fuel logs and the ability to create custom routes
improved WiFi and bluetooth capabilities for faster over-the-air updates and connections
