Rand McNally introduced Aug. 21 at the Great American Trucking Show new, updated versions of its line of truck-specific GPS units, the IntelliRoute TND. It also announced its HD 100 electronic logging device now works with smart phones, tablets and its IntelliRoute GPS devices.
Updated IntelliRoute devices:
The new 730 and 530 TND models — 7-inch and 5-inch units, respectively — have redesigned, sleeker hardware and an updated user interface, along with a faster processor.
The devices are thinner than previous models, but the units are “still rugged enough to withstand the in-cab environment,” Rand McNally says.
The faster processor allows for quicker route calculations, point of interest searches, route comparisons and faster transitions.
The two new interface designs are cleaner and more modern, Rand McNally says, but users can also still opt to use the “classic design.”
Rand McNally says its maps have also been upgraded with improved text and road shields, new coloration and more personalization.
