Roads change frequently, so NAVTEQ recommends that you update your. Alpha headline font maker. Crack carte sd navteq John Moorwood, consumer PR manager 2010,.

Just my pennies here. As a Garmin 560LT registered owner. When I purchased the unit, the first thing your instructed to do after charging the unit, is Update the OS and MAPS. If a map update is released with in 90 days of the unit making a satellite fix, you can get that map update free.

Also, as a registered owner, when new map updates come out, they often send out special offers to purchase an update. A one time update for $49.00 regular price is $69.00 to $89.00.

OR a lifetime update for $89.00 Regular price is $119.00 On my last Garmin unit, they EOL'ed it after 3 years, then stated that they would support it for up to 4 years. I was doing some looking earlier today and saw many Garmins with lifetime free map updates.(missed the last page of posts) Got a new software update today, some nice new features that were added. For the price of the maps, I understand the need to charge for it. But like the other guy said, over 25% of the original cost of the unit is nuts.

Today mine decided to have a memory issue and popped up a message saying about 'Odyssey Mobile.' Just for the hell of it I looked it up online and found something that kind of bothered me. Found a company that sells skinable generic navigation software. What bothered me about this was the fact that I realized just how 'cheap' these units actually are.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to knock the effort to provide truckers with reliable working navigation. However, when I see a unit that has generic navigation software from a third party company just made to look unique installed onto a $350 device I kinda feel ripped off. This really made me feel like RM got the device, tossed the cheapest navigation software into it that they could find, made it 'truck specific' and called it good. I'm sorry, but for the price tag I guess I expect something that is made from the ground up, something that isn't 'generic.' I really hate to wonder what the bottom line is on these things. I wouldn't be surprised if the cost to make these(including software and support) is around $150 at this point.

Looks to me like another ploy to rip off truckers some more. Don't get me wrong, I still support the TND 500 as a whole. I thinks its a decent product for what it is. Its provided me with many benefits.

However, I don't see me continuing to put any money into it seeing that it is already becoming obsolete and being the expense is insane. Unless I see some major changes(i.e. Cost, unit quality) then I see myself ending my time as a RM customer.

Ok, hold the phone. As many long-time members of this forum know, I don’t pipe up unless I feel that I can provide a useful answer to a direct question posed inside of this community.

In this case I feel compelled to clear up some confusion and partial information in this thread. First off, ALL GPS BRANDS consist of a partnership of technology and hardware providers. NONE make 100% of the finished product themselves “from the ground-up.” Garmin has its partners, Cobra has theirs, Rand McNally has theirs, TomTom has theirs, etc. In fact, when you first turn on these units you will see a lot of little logos on the opening screen identifying the primary partners.

When you turn on a Rand McNally, for instance, you will see one of the logos called “InfoGation.” That software company develops GPS “skins” (that is “what the buttons look like”) and utilizes NavTeq as a map provider within those skins. Garmin uses the SAME map provider. “Odyssey” is the product name of InfoGation’s GPS data software product similar to “T700” is a product name by Kenworth. There is NOTHING GENERIC OR SINISTER about Odyssey or the InfoGation software development company whose customers include Rand, Microsoft, and many others as they are a major GPS software development firm.

(And Rand’s CEO very publically press-released how elated they were when they inked the partnership with InfoGation to provide the basis on the TND product line by the way.) Rand, Garmin, and everyone else utilize multitudes of software and hardware “supplier” or “sub-system providers” the same way as Kenworth does for that T700. Second – “there are NO free maps.” NavTeq and TeleAtlas CHARGE for continuous map updates to Garmin, Rand, Delorme, Microsoft, etc. That COST WILL BE PAID BY THE END USER one way or the other. I was doing some looking earlier today and saw many Garmins with lifetime free map updates.(missed the last page of posts) Got a new software update today, some nice new features that were added. For the price of the maps, I understand the need to charge for it. But like the other guy said, over 25% of the original cost of the unit is nuts.
