Rand McNally’s New update | Problem and how to fix

[@MrCapriperformance]

I had exactly the same issues that you talked about after updating and I took your advice and I was spot on. I can’t thank you enough because I was about to turn my T85 into a frisbee. Thank you driver.

[@ashlemya]

LOL into a frisbee. This is how i felt about my garmin and i had to upgrade...

[@tg3026]

Thanks Fab your information on the TND 750 was very helpful. I just purchased one and did the setup at home. No issues so far. You are beautiful and Fabulous. Keep Trucking.

[@marlonpozo9443]

Ur amazing my love. I really was about to buy another one in amazon and send this one back on that same box, tried EVERYTHING. rest, reboot and all rest there are and nothing. Ur right there are no videos about this.. Genius 👏

[@davidlarsen1801]

I have to say thank you for this video of yours it helped me to my update on my new rand McNally tnd 1050. I was on the phone with Rand McNally and thinking about returning it and getting another one but I watch your video and did the data fix and it updated like a flash.

[@tmo.48]

Very important information here, I am sure it will be appreciated more as time goes by. Also just want to say your hair is just beautiful!!! Mine is at about 30 inches (was only trying to see how long I could get it) and I am tossing around the idea of cutting it into a partial shag and keep some length in back. I had some of it loose one day and it got taken up by the seat belt when I undid it and was stuck with my head pinned while my grandson went to get some scissors. I am more careful now but ready for a new doo. Stay safe and well and informative!

[@cotjocky466]

For real. That hair is definitely FABulous!

[@tommynardone6471]

I REALLY need to thank you for this video. I just bought this GPS today and I had THE SAME ISSUES and was GOING CRAZY..LOL. this video really helped and its working.. thanks and stay safe out there.😉

[@bonnieanderson429]

Thank you!!! Lucky you that you could actually get Rand McNally on the phone. I had another issue that I needed assistance and was unsuccessful getting assistance.

[@jamesreid2647]

just wanted to say you advice still works. I tried to update my RM TND 750 and it got stuck. So i found your video.. did the repair files.. then redid the update and BAMN in business! August 23 2023 thanks for the video!... Jimmie

[@jamesschweikert9538]

Was having this problem u helped tremendously thank u very much. U saved me $$$$

[@williamkitchens8648]

Thanks for this information.. I’m at a loves attempting to update my gps.. your video was very helpful

[@romeolanga4387]

Thx very much I love your comments, great work and help.

[@ozzygood2]

Thank you so much. My gps is up to date now. Awesome job.

[@user-ll9bp1pe2s]

Thank you for sharing this information. With all of the road construction going on , the gps system has to be up dated daily. I would have been in a world of trouble if you didn’t make this video. So thank you so much.😊

[@nevercomply9258]

Thank you so much for this video. I have the 740 and it did just as your GPS did. Thank you again. safe travels and Keep the shiny side up and the dusty side down. 😉

[@jeffreyulery2182]

your 740 still kicking?

[@nevercomply9258]

​@jeffreyulery2182 If you're talking to me, yes it is. But I'm getting rid of it because I got the Hammer app. The highway patrol in Ohio told me about the app and it is good. Better than the Rand McNally for sure

[@oxtheboss1838]

I have the 550 model and same issue with GPS. Thanks for the info your Awesome

[@eastender74]

I have the TND740 and this worked like a charm! Thank you ❤

[@tauqirabdulali7057]

I just bought this GPS and was astounded when I saw your video about the exact same issue. Thank you for making this video. It really helped me. I was sooooo frustrated because my gp's was stuck in update and I was using my hot spot at first

[@demetriusdavis95]

I switched to a Garmin a year ago and haven’t had any problems at all. Mount has never fallen while driving, not intermittent powering issues, cords going bad, nothing. At first I was nervous to spend more money on a GPS after messing around with rands for so long but I’ll never buy another RM again.

[@ryanthesun2532]

I’m here for the same thing. 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@nk863]

FABulous Trucker, you are a tech person with a common message that everyone understands without the Star Trek speak. Stay safe out there!

[@Daesha2u]

Thank you!!!! I called my company to get the keeptruckin wifi pw and that also worked for the wifi but the repair is what saved my navigation! Its downloading now...456 errors Seems this will work. Thank you so much!

[@aleksandrorlov1515]

Thank you for your help. It worked. I had strong wi fi connection. Still maps update has failed to download correctly. You saved me beautiful blondie girl. Very simple and helpful.

[@fluffypicturestudios]

You are awsome! Thank you for sharing all this information.

[@montanaj.p7285]

Thank you for the info! Drive safe

[@giuseppedainotti2369]

What Info she’s clueless 🤦‍♂️ I just updated my gps with my hotspot in 50 seconds

[@swalmerfrompa]

This fixed my issue! 😊 Thanks so much.

[@jeremyconley5098]

Thanks for this video! Helped a ton!! ❤

[@1978atcarroll]

Thank you for the info. I just bought a 500, and it got stuck on the first update and wouldn't show the map. Your fix has it working again.

[@Sky_Hunter287]

Thank you so much for information

[@EduardAnton718]

Very helpful, thank you 😎🫡

[@MWaV300]

I had the same issue and fixed. Thanks and like the truck had the same truck 😊

[@mariusmocan2960]

Same problem….Works now…thanks 👍

[@badaldarapper]

[@tamestew]

Great explanation. Thanks.

[@drewgzz]

[@baldosilva7218]

Thanks for the info Great, helpful video

[@gregfletcher9803]

In all seriousness, I have the Overdryve 7 and it refuses to install the updates on the unit. I was looking for answers when I came up on her video. She gave easy and in-depth instructions on solving the problem.

[@gogobadr27]

Thank you. I just did the whole updates from my phone hot spot.

[@SuperJesusfreak7777]

You’re video was a great help.

[@giancarlosespinoza6677]

Thanks do you know or happen to know how they're upgrades work towards getting a new one an trading in your old one.??

[@jeremyraywilson9870]

I love my Rand McNally driver 8 pro 2! But just recently it quit showing the speed limit current speed if you could do a video on fixing that it would be much appreciated

[@allthingschristina9242]

It worked! Thank-you

[@kamalshahadeh6741]

I recently bought this gps and I just wanted to know how you put it together and make it work in the truck

[@michaelhall8057]

Thank you 🙏 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@michaelwolf71]

Had the same problem with my 85 tablet, was told the same thing when I called McNally. After I was hooked up to a strong Wi-Fi at home still did the same thing, when bought a new one after getting back on the road did a reset at a flying J hooked up to their Wi-Fi for both of them and both did a full update of their 6.0 or what ever their biggest update was now I got two working GPS’s

[@raysoto7638]

Thank you so much I was going crazy I was updating my gps at home and it stop working thanks again

[@juliehartline9901]

Thank you very much

[@1Gsouljah]

Thank you!

Thank you really worked

[@jaideramsey211]

Omg thank you!!!

[@ikeho1790]

Thanks fab!

[@gedijama4052]

My sister Thank U for your help

[@diz0973ify]

My biggest issue with Rand McNally products is that they have the tendency to break apart. I don't know why, but it will separate at some point. They're not put together well.

[@fayzi1000]

Thank you 😊

[@amansangrur]

Thanks 🙏

[@manco828]

Looking fab.

[@firebythewater4477]

I have the Overdryve 8 Pro 2 and it does not have a GPS Repair option under Trucker Tools. It is stuck installing rd.MjPDF file, still usable though. It's sitting next to the wifi box at home, 2 factory resets done as well.

[@AlexanderZaragoza-ft6bj]

May abundance health and wealth be yours til eternity

[@gmoney-zs2tw]

How long does repairing the data took..because am sitting for a hour trying and it's just loading

[@TheClintmeister]

When I first got started I had the 720 or 725, can't remember! Never a problem, easy to update, kept me out of trouble. I sold it when I went to yard work. Mistake. Got a tnd730 and heard some rumors. But it will not update on my modern computer. The Dock always says "not connected", but the 730 says its connected. Tired of crap that don't work.

[@jamesm568]

I don't use addresses as I use longitude and latitude to find the exact driveway to enter a customer.

[@Harleyrk99]

how did you connect to wifi? I cannot get my unit to connect to any wifi or even get to the wifi screen.

[@riovsop]

Thank you

[@pjwatts209]

I had that same issue, I damn near stressed myself to death dealing with that damn rand mcnally b4 I sent it back to rand mcnally and it got lost at USPS and they refunded me $500 and I switched to Garmin

[@kolyantransportation5798]

Hot spot works perfectly, but this video helped 😊

[@Leesboringlife]

I did the update using Hotspot but I used a Samsung tablet on the Verizon network and was parked. I didn't have any issues with the update. There is a difference between using a phone Hotspot and tablet Hotspot due to the device overheating during large downloads.

[@user-sn7lt1wc4o]

Thank u cause my works but it doesn't have a lot of addresses that don't come out

[@mauimillionaire1270]

OMG!!!!!!! THANKS A TRILLION!!!!! YOU ARE A. M. A. Z. I. N. G. !!!!

[@raywright6421]

What gps do you use?

[@2wheelspounding]

Did you have any issues with the volume I can’t hear shit and it all the way up

[@LML-jp7sl]

You ever gonna make anymore videos?

[@NQBN]

I have a question, I am rookie trucker, I was wondering which headphones is better, apple air pods or these headphones? I appreciate your advice

[@thefabuloustrucker4400]

Hello! Personally I like these types of headphones better than AirPods. The only reason is because technically you are not allowed to have both ears covered while driving. With air pods I felt the need to always have both in. Another great thing about the headsets is they are great at noise cancellation and to me are more comfortable to wear.

[@NQBN]

@@thefabuloustrucker4400 thanks 🙏 very much. Very helpful

[@Fishingpov101]

Good morning from Ohio

[@NEXTDIRECTIONSTUDIOS]

Thats why u keep a micro sd card in the device and backup files to sd card once a week

[@coltonkruse2313]

I just got a TND 750 and it can't update the OS. It is trying to go to build # 151. It has downloaded the same update 20 times but it can't install it. Zero options for forcing it to work. Did a factory reset. Did the GPS file repairs. Nothing works. I'm at home on normal internet. Even tried my hot spot cause why not. Any input from anyone would be appreciated.

[@jmaegm]

It's always the cord on Rands stuff, just connect it directly without magnet or glue it. Anyways these new versions don't have all the information address truck stops the old versions had. Either the employees working for Rand deliberately to do less work left them out or while transferring info their servers or something technical failed to transfer. Quality control should've inspected and fixed all these issues. So far the only good product this past years is the headset cleardryve 220 and the dashcam 500. Both Garmin and RM dropped the ball on gps's these past years big time.

[@noegonzalez4918]

What does the diet of a trucker consist of? My ex girlfriends dad was a trucker and he told me it was mostly gas station cuisine. Is that true?

[@Arizona_Vineyard]

No… you can buy a deep freezer for trucking or camping and it’s slightly larger than a cooler… throw anything in there. Air fryer and you have a fridge along with crockpot foods. I stopped eating truck stop food unless it was sit down or popeyes chicken

[@Esotelien]

If you ask me RM made a mistake when they eliminated the RM dock on the computer and went to full wi-fi updating. I never had any issues with updating on the older model, and this new one seems to be a lot more glitchy. Also, despite what RM tech support says, I wouldn't do the full factory reset unless it's your absolute last option. I tried it and it caused a license key problem I still haven't gotten straightened out yet.

[@williamstockton2344]

I hated the dock I didn’t have a problem with the 720 update over Wi-Fi but they changed so much with the 750 I was completely lost but the 720 always took me the right way. This 750 I swear I don’t know what they did but they f’d it up big time. This thing wants to take me the wrong way so much it’s not even funny. My brother in law’s having the same issues with his as well

[@Esotelien]

@@williamstockton2344 to be fair, a while back i finally found a wifi connection that it was able to update on (which was a good thing because i was on the verge of getting rid of it one way or another). Once I did their huge system update the GPS was greatly improved. I'm actually happy with it now, but I still say they should've at least kept the option of updating on the computer if the wifi is going to be this picky.

[@yeahno1016]

Can some one please help before I through this out the window. Please. Just bought band new unopened on eBay. It’s stuck in like demo mode. Guessing someone stole it and sold online. How do I get off demo mode. Can’t set to WiFi can’t do anything. If I select truck tools or anything else it shows a demo. No buttons work other then on off if u hold for a long time

[@williamshepard8107]

So when I went inside the truck icon the gps repair isn’t there I got great WiFi

[@shamus240]

That was frustrating to me also!

[@tryancalmese6525]

At least everyone the comments can get there’s to power up still. Mine stopped working 5 days after I got it.

[@scottkucinski4967]

I was ready to toss it out the window but trying this now to resolve the issues

[@littledocter01662]

Anyone know how long the installing update is supposed to stay on for the rd.MJPDF? Mine is "installing" over 10 minutes now. Everything else that needed to be installed done it quickly. (This is not the first time I tried doing this update. I have factory reset and I have tried this update at home and at a loves. The only thing I get is the installing update. The GPS works as if the update has no threw like no stalling or shutting down. BTW Im using the Overdryve 8 pro 2

[@boywonder7679]

That was very helpful thanks for the advice

[@mesfinbentiba5819]

I update always by my hotspot what do you talking about?

[@JoEs_Do9]

Do u need wifi to use a gps or just to update

[@thefabuloustrucker4400]

Just to update

Did all this and mine loads the route but said searching for gps...

[@stevenrandall689]

Already done all this and it gets to 1 file, the .navi/ file and wont repair. Had it connected to a strong wifi signal for over 7 hours and it still didnt repair this 1 file.

I’m having the same issue

[@stevenrandall689]

@@williamsimmons6225 once its down to just that 1 file, put it back to factory settings, then try on different wifi connections until it finishes. Thats what ended up working for me.

Yeah using loves Wi-Fi my 6gb update turned into 32 somehow and without it my maps were missing roads that I had to take. So even with the SD card I can’t fox it so I have to reset my tablet and download it again overnight with doodoo ass pilot wifi
