My brother is a trucker and pre-ordered this. He was out on the road when it arrived, so he asked me to charge it, update it, and play with it. FUN! I am not a trucker, but from what I hear from my brother, the tools on this device are awesome. It looks like it would be very helpful for him. The thing is huge, a 7″ screen! Overall, this seems to be a great tool.

My problem with it is that it cannot update. I have a brand new computer running Windows 7 64 bit. It’s a Dell Studio XPS 8100 (i5 processor). After reading on forums and contacting Rand McNally, I have learned that Windows 7 does not send enough power to the USB ports to allow the TND 700 to go into “connected” mode when it’s plugged in to a computer. Supposedly this is a problem that occurs mostly with laptops and some Dell systems (”Dell Latitude or Inspiron PC (it may occur on other models as well)”). Rand McNally send a very helpful email with some solutions to the problem, though it sounds like they are still unsure of all fixes or what causes the problem. I am disappointed that a brand new device does not work with a brand new operating system, though that seems to be the nature of all things now-a-days. I am hoping that it will update on my brother’s XP laptop. we’ll see when he gets back home.
