RAND MCNALLY TRUCK GPS UPDATE
As long as you have registered (you should) your GPS it will start the update download. When it is time for an update you will see an icon in the upper left corner on the notifications bar letting you know that there is something ready to update. It’s nice to know that those things are being done without me having to do anything or worrying about ruining anything. All I have to do is connect to WiFi and the GPS does all the updates on its own. Over The Air Updatingįirst and foremost I love the fact that I don’t have to connect it to my computer to get software and map updates. Let’s first start with the positives I have encountered while using the Rand 740 and then the negatives. Pairing your GPS with a paper atlas ( like this one), Google Maps, and common sense is the best way to navigate. If you are a smart driver you already know that relying on your GPS alone isn’t smart. There were times when it was really accurate and other times not so accurate. Overall it does a good job finding what I ask it to and doing it fairly quickly. Just like every other GPS these days the Rand finds restaurants, truck stops, CAT scales, stores, as well as bridge and road restrictions. No matter which GPS you buy it will never be perfect.įor that reason I’m leaving accuracy off of this list.

In trying to keep things fair I do want to say that I have used it for regional driving only, no OTR.
In this article I’m going to tell you all about the pros and cons of my Rand 740 so that you know what to expect from one should you decide to buy one. Sure, just like any other GPS there are some things that bug me but overall it’s been a solid GPS. If you want to hear about my experiences with it keep reading. If you want to skip my thoughtful review the link to the Rand TND 740 Amazon is right here. But there are some things that I don’t like.
RAND MCNALLY TRUCK GPS DRIVERS
Why did I switch? Peer pressure and research.Ī lot of drivers that I know having been raving about the Rand 740 so after doing a ton of research I decided to get one and try it out. First off, I’ve used a Garmin in the past but decided to make a change. As much as I like (and I like it a lot) the Rand McNally TND 740 GPS for truckers there are some things I found a little annoying.
