Rand McNally has amazingly improved their customer support. Call 800-333-0136. They will try to fix the problem or issue you RMA if your unit is still under warranty.

When you power on your device do you have a blue Progress bar along the bottom of the screen?

If yes, to correct the issue please perform a Diagnostics & Repair using the Rand McNally Dock. Step by step instructions can be found at - http://www.randmcnally.com/support/s/diagnose-and-repair

If the Rand McNally Dock does not find an issue with any files, the repair fails, or the Diagnostics & Repair does resolve your issue, please call technical support for additional assistance.

If there is no progress bar, the unit will need to be sent in for repair.

Please call Rand McNally Tech Support to obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA).

I have a tnd 740 and when I plug in my destination and pick route it goes to a wide screen shot, I'm talking several miles out like 65 plus and wont stay zoomed in. I have done the update and repair.

They automatically zoom in and out depending on how far you are away from junctions or turns. The device thinks it knows best, and no way to change.

Tnd 700 shows power but screen wont come on

Regarding our TND 500 we never fixed our problems. Needless to say, it was out of warranty for about a month and the company really was no help. I am sorry I am unable to help, but we just gave up on the issues with ours. We went out and bought a Garmin. Good luck to you.

When i power up the it will not go past the start up screen i hit reset plugged it in to my computer and it will not recognize it it does not even show up it was flickering before this problem and i am...

When you hit the reset button did you hot and release or hold for a count of 30? If you did hit and release then do it again and hold for 30 seconds. This will force it into factory restart. Once the unit is running again go to the tnd dock and run diagnostic and repair on the unit. This should hopefully fix the problem.

When i push to calculate route the screen gets stuck on "calculating" and won't do anything.

You have a corrupted trip.db file.

1. connect the TND to the computer and turn the TND on.
2. go to your start menu and press on (my) computer
3. look for an external drive called intelliroute.
4. look on the drive(s) for a folder called Navi
5. double click on the Navi folder.
6. You should see a folder called User.
7. double click on the user folder.
8. You should see a file called Trip.db.
9. left click once on trip.db, then right click and delete.
10. disconnect your TND from the computer and enter a route in.

it should operate fine now.

Thanks,

How come my tnd 500 will not turn on and its fully charged?

Try pressing the reset button on the back or the side of the TND. If it still will not power on contact Rand McNally support. Be sure to have your serial number handy, (back of TND, bottom right)

Thanks,
