This document is a user manual for the Rand McNally IntelliRoute® TND™ 730 & 530 LM Truck GPS devices. It provides comprehensive instructions on how to use, configure, and maintain the navigation system, catering specifically to the needs of truck drivers.
Function Description:
The Rand McNally IntelliRoute® TND™ 730 & 530 LM are Global Positioning System (GPS) devices designed for truck navigation. They calculate geographical positions using satellite data, requiring at least three satellites for position and four for elevation. The devices offer truck-specific routing, taking into account truck information (weight, length, height, number of axles, hazmat type, and trailer type) to provide legal and appropriate routes. Key functions include destination selection (address, city center, intersection, latitude/longitude, history, address book, multi-stop trips, points of interest, and local search), map and routing options (route map window, exits quick view, directions slide-out list, virtual dashboard, junction view, turn view, and location/route options), and various tools and features (Wi-Fi, weather, fuel prices, truck tools, timers, mileage logs, trails, quick planner, road atlas information, unit converter, calculator, calendar, notepad, and optional traffic everywhere). The devices also connect to the Rand McNally Dock for software upgrades, map updates, construction updates, and additional features like uploading TripMaker® trips, exporting mileage and fuel logs, loading custom POIs, and sending feedback.
