Rand McNally Debuts Updated Truck GPS Devices

GPS leader Rand McNally has unveiled a new, quick, GPS device for professional drivers, the TND 740,  which enables over-the-air updates as well as a selection of new features.

Here’s what’s new: A powered magnetic mount makes it simpler to take the device on and off the mount in the truck; over-the-air updates for maps and other content happen seamlessly in place of docking and downloading; and a quad-core processor delivers unparalleled power and smooth and responsive navigation.

Key new features of the TND 740 include:

• Over-the-air map updates that occur when connected to Wi-Fi vs. having to dock the device with a computer
• Lifetime Maps and Traffic Everywhere for up-to-date navigation
• Updated maps and map design with icons that are easier to recognize at a glance
• Audio-out capability, enabling drivers to route their device sound through their truck audio systems
• A higher resolution 7-inch screen with a brighter display
• Twice as much storage capacity
• A faster quad core processor

The TND 740 also comes pre-loaded with the Rand McNally Driver Connect logbook app and Bluetooth capability, which enables pairing with ELD devices  so the device is ELD-ready when drivers are ready.
