New software included with Lifetime Maps update; Free Lifetime Maps* promotion for limited time
SKOKIE, Ill., Aug. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Rand McNally today announced a new software release for its IntelliRoute® TND(TM) 510 truck GPS unit that includes updated map data, additional trucking points of interest, and many of the new features from the new TND(TM) 720 that was released in June.
The software upgrade, available as of today, includes the following new information and features:
-- Fully updated road data; includes truck-specific information such as
speed limits, legal and physical restrictions, and all Rand McNally
proprietary truck restriction data
-- Fully updated points of interest necessary for efficient routing,
including truck stops, weigh stations, and locations at the exits ahead
-- Fuel logs - accessible from the Virtual Dashboard or Truck Tools, the
feature enables drivers to record fuel purchases for a trip
-- "Avoid State or Province" preference - allows a driver to route around
states or provinces to avoid seasonal road conditions, Hazmat
constraints, tolls, or construction
-- Enhanced routing options - provides for increased flexibility, and
faster, more efficient route calculations
-- Address book icon enhancement - enables unique icons to be created by
group and shown on the map for imported locations, address book item
displayed by name, distance from current location, and date added
information
-- Text-to-speech alert details for custom points of interest - reduces
distracted driving by providing spoken alert information for imported
items such as red light cameras
Owners of the TND(TM) 710 also are eligible for the new software download if they have Lifetime Maps. Lifetime Maps for Rand McNally products can be purchased on Rand McNally's online store.
