New to the road or old trucking hands, truckers are always on the look out for:
- good truck stop coffee
- that place they can ALWAYS find a place to park
- a good GPS navigation device built from the ground up with the trucker in mind
There are a lot of good truck-centric GPS navigation units on the market today. But few are the ones with a true map-making pedigree and the technological guts to also be a solid, dependable tablet with which you can track your trucking data and then relax with when you’re done working for the day.
That’s where Rand McNally’s TND Tablet 85 comes in. This rugged 8” Android tablet is also a GPS device tailored to demands of today’s driving and is loaded with the sorts of features necessary to be safe and productive on the road.
At the heart of the TND Tablet 85 is Rand McNally’s new Rand 2.0 routing software that provides optimal directions and a variety of information to make any trip easier. With a wifi connection, Rand 2.0 and the TND Tablet 85 deliver:
- Enhanced, easy to read map displays with turn-by-turn directions on a high-resolution display
- 3-D structure, landmark and junction views
- Real-time traffic information
- Detailed, up-to-date weather conditions and forecasts
- Fuel locations with current pricing information
- Mileage and fuel logs
- On-screen alerts for speed limit changes, sharp curves and other changes in driving conditions
The TND Tablet 85 doesn’t stop there. Its built-in dashcam uses an automatic G-sensor and loop recording to capture whatever goes on in front of your truck as you drive.
And, when you’re done driving and parked for the day, you can remove the TND Tablet 85 from its super-secure magnetic mount and go to work or relax and catch up on your email or use any of the apps you rely on while on the road and away from home.
It’s equipped with a hexa core processor to make it fast and a two-watt speaker so you can hear all the information it delivers.
The Rand McNally TND Tablet 85 is available online and at select travel centers. And, yes, that’s the same Rand McNally that makes the pro driver atlas that also belongs in your truck.
