Rand McNally introduces its latest generation IntelliRoute TND GPS devices for commercial truck drivers. Redesigned inside and out, the devices showcase new hardware, a faster processor, two new graphical user interface options, and improved map appearance. Bringing together Rand McNally’s award-winning navigation with 35-percent more truck routing information than other GPS units and new features, such as Toll Cost estimates in route planning and Advanced Lane Guidance, the IntelliRoute TND 730 and 530 LM devices deliver leading-edge technology and features specifically designed for commercial drivers. 

The 7- and 5-inch devices feature a new thinner, sleek hardware design that is still rugged enough to withstand the in-cab environment. Inside, the devices have faster processing speeds, allowing for quicker route calculation, point of interest searches, route comparisons, and faster screen-to-screen transitions. Graphically, the units offer users two new interface design options – called “Ice” (with a white background) and “Carbon” (with a steel gray background). Users may also use the familiar “Classic” design interface, from prior generations of IntelliRoute TNDs. The new proprietary, color-saturated icons in the design were created by Rand McNally to ensure features are easy to recognize with just a glance.

The onboard mapping has been upgraded to include improved text and road shields, and new coloration for certain reference points such as shopping centers and parks. Additionally, the devices offer users the option of two new map color schemes for more driver personalization.
