NEW YORK - Rand McNally announced its IntelliRoute TND 500 has been recognized by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) for excellence in design and technology with a 2010 CES Innovations Award as well as the "Best of Innovations" honor for In-Vehicle Navigation. The IntelliRoute TND 500 is Rand McNally's first trucking navigation device designed to guide professional drivers on the safest, most efficient route for trucks.

"This award is the result of Rand McNally's continued dedication to providing accurate navigation and routing information that will make a significant difference for the end user," said Rand McNally CEO Dave Muscatel. "We're pleased to be recognized for our first-ever trucking navigation device and will continue to focus on this product line."

Built from the ground up, the IntelliRoute TND 500 was designed with input from truckers, for truckers. The device is built to help professional drivers in each phase of their work day: planning, driving and reporting. With 35 percent more truck-specific miles than other providers and nearly 13,000 truck-related geo-coded points of interest, the IntelliRoute TND 500 is the only GPS device leveraging Rand McNally's proprietary trucking data, built on 70 years of experience in the trucking industry.  In addition to navigation and routing, the device provides Trucker Business Tools to assist in calculating profitability and managing the compliance aspects of trucking.  The TND itself was optimized for the in-cab experience including an anti-glare screen to ensure truckers can see it in direct sunlight, turn-by-turn spoken directions, speakers that are twice as loud as the average GPS device and a secure mounting device.

CES Innovations Awards are selected annually by a panel of prominent industry designers, engineers and journalists who judge product entries on criteria including user value, aesthetics, innovative design, quality and contributions to the quality of life. Sponsored by CEA and endorsed by the Industrial Designers Society of America, the CES Innovations Awards highlight product advancements in technology design and engineering.
