Rand McNally launches next generation IntelliRoute

Aug 27, 2010

A software update for the IntelliRoute TND trucker-specific GPS navigation unit will be made available to current and new users Sept. 17. The unit’s new features include mileage data reporting, enhanced voice warning system, final mile address notification, Spanish and French languages functionality and full-route text preview. The mileage data reporting can be exported to spreadsheet form and uploaded to other devices. The new warning system alerts users of sharp curves, steep hills, speed limit changes and speeding. The new driver-controlled auto-reroute allows drivers to pause routes and resume later. An IntelliRoute TND application for the iPad will be available next year.
