Rand McNally’s New update | Problem and how to fix 

I have the Overdryve 8 Pro 2 and it does not have a GPS Repair option under Trucker Tools. It is stuck installing rd.MjPDF file, still usable though. It's sitting next to the wifi box at home, 2 factory resets done as well.

I had exactly the same issues that you talked about after updating and I took your advice and I was spot on. I can’t thank you enough because I was about to turn my T85 into a frisbee. Thank you driver.

I fkn hate my Rand McNally 8.0. I can't find GPS repair anywhere.

Ur amazing my love. I really was about to buy another one in amazon and send this one back on that same box, tried EVERYTHING. rest, reboot and all rest there are and nothing. Ur right there are no videos about this.. Genius 👏

She has no idea what a heck she’s talking about 🤦‍♂️

I just got a TND 750 and it can't update the OS. It is trying to go to build # 151. It has downloaded the same update 20 times but it can't install it. Zero options for forcing it to work. Did a factory reset. Did the GPS file repairs. Nothing works. I'm at home on normal internet. Even tried my hot spot cause why not. Any input from anyone would be appreciated.

Anyone know how long the installing update is supposed to stay on for the rd.MJPDF? Mine is "installing" over 10 minutes now. Everything else that needed to be installed done it quickly. (This is not the first time I tried doing this update. I have factory reset and I have tried this update at home and at a loves. The only thing I get is the installing update. The GPS works as if the update has no threw like no stalling or shutting down. BTW Im using the Overdryve 8 pro 2

Rand sucks. I bought a Garmin. I had a old 5" rand and always had charging issues, had it replaced 3 times until my one year warranty was over then I was screwed. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER RAND GPS!!!

My biggest issue with Rand McNally products is that they have the tendency to break apart. I don't know why, but it will separate at some point. They're not put together well.

Can some one please help before I through this out the window. Please. Just bought band new unopened on eBay. It’s stuck in like demo mode. Guessing someone stole it and sold online. How do I get off demo mode. Can’t set to WiFi can’t do anything. If I select truck tools or anything else it shows a demo. No buttons work other then on off if u hold for a long time

FABulous Trucker, you are a tech person with a common message that everyone understands without the Star Trek speak. Stay safe out there!

idky they make these things cordless. the batteries always end up going bad over time and need to be plugged in 24/7 so just cut the costs and make them corded devices. also enough with that magnet mount ffs.

My girl saved me. This works with 1050 aswell Thank you

Did all this and mine loads the route but said searching for gps...

Garmin way better I hate this Rand McNally lol too deceiving

Nothing wrong with using an atlas. They are better then a gps.. they never stop working or need to be charged..

I had that same issue, I damn near stressed myself to death dealing with that damn rand mcnally b4 I sent it back to rand mcnally and it got lost at USPS and they refunded me $500 and I switched to Garmin

I don't use addresses as I use longitude and latitude to find the exact driveway to enter a customer.

Thanks for the info Great, helpful video

Thank you for sharing this information. With all of the road construction going on , the gps system has to be up dated daily. I would have been in a world of trouble if you didn’t make this video. So thank you so much.😊

Let’s play a game drink a shot every time she flicks her hair 😅

So when I went inside the truck icon the gps repair isn’t there I got great WiFi

Thank u cause my works but it doesn't have a lot of addresses that don't come out

how did you connect to wifi? I cannot get my unit to connect to any wifi or even get to the wifi screen.

Rand Mcnally useless because it has charging issues .

I update always by my hotspot what do you talking about?

Did u figure out how to get live traffic warnings hun ?

May abundance health and wealth be yours til eternity

My sister Thank U for your help

I have good wifi and the updates are not installing at all.

Thanks Fab your information on the TND 750 was very helpful. I just purchased one and did the setup at home. No issues so far. You are beautiful and Fabulous. Keep Trucking.

😡 please don't do part 2. I'm 41 now😊

Great explanation. Thanks.

When I first got started I had the 720 or 725, can't remember! Never a problem, easy to update, kept me out of trouble. I sold it when I went to yard work. Mistake. Got a tnd730 and heard some rumors. But it will not update on my modern computer. The Dock always says "not connected", but the 730 says its connected. Tired of crap that don't work.

So much talking and saying nothing

i got to replace my battery on a tnd 85

Very important information here, I am sure it will be appreciated more as time goes by. Also just want to say your hair is just beautiful!!! Mine is at about 30 inches (was only trying to see how long I could get it) and I am tossing around the idea of cutting it into a partial shag and keep some length in back. I had some of it loose one day and it got taken up by the seat belt when I undid it and was stuck with my head pinned while my grandson went to get some scissors. I am more careful now but ready for a new doo. Stay safe and well and informative!

So I can't get the fix it to work

When TND has been achieved

Speed limit no sound

Thanks 🙏

What gps do you use?

I understand you are trying to help, butt just listen to what you just said, - It's almost sounds like I either have to take few days off of my work and spend hours and hours on the phone fixing it..., and yours still doesn't work the way it's should after all you did, and it's shame. I think that unit is probably very low on internal memory in first place, and all those updates simply don't fit, but they trying to convince customers it's bad internet, wow... I'll say don't buy the product from the company who doesn't stand behind their product !!!

Thank you!!!! I called my company to get the keeptruckin wifi pw and that also worked for the wifi but the repair is what saved my navigation! Its downloading now...456 errors Seems this will work. Thank you so much!

In all seriousness, I have the Overdryve 7 and it refuses to install the updates on the unit. I was looking for answers when I came up on her video. She gave easy and in-depth instructions on solving the problem.

Thank you!

just wanted to say you advice still works. I tried to update my RM TND 750 and it got stuck. So i found your video.. did the repair files.. then redid the update and BAMN in business! August 23 2023 thanks for the video!... Jimmie

Had the same problem with my 85 tablet, was told the same thing when I called McNally. After I was hooked up to a strong Wi-Fi at home still did the same thing, when bought a new one after getting back on the road did a reset at a flying J hooked up to their Wi-Fi for both of them and both did a full update of their 6.0 or what ever their biggest update was now I got two working GPS’s

It's always the cord on Rands stuff, just connect it directly without magnet or glue it. Anyways these new versions don't have all the information address truck stops the old versions had. Either the employees working for Rand deliberately to do less work left them out or while transferring info their servers or something technical failed to transfer. Quality control should've inspected and fixed all these issues. So far the only good product this past years is the headset cleardryve 220 and the dashcam 500. Both Garmin and RM dropped the ball on gps's these past years big time.

Thats why u keep a micro sd card in the device and backup files to sd card once a week

Yeah using loves Wi-Fi my 6gb update turned into 32 somehow and without it my maps were missing roads that I had to take. So even with the SD card I can’t fox it so I have to reset my tablet and download it again overnight with doodoo ass pilot wifi

Thank you for the info. I just bought a 500, and it got stuck on the first update and wouldn't show the map. Your fix has it working again.

Thank you for your help. It worked. I had strong wi fi connection. Still maps update has failed to download correctly. You saved me beautiful blondie girl. Very simple and helpful.

Cute

Real

Hot

Do u need wifi to use a gps or just to update

I have the TND740 and this worked like a charm! Thank you ❤

How long does repairing the data took..because am sitting for a hour trying and it's just loading

I did the update using Hotspot but I used a Samsung tablet on the Verizon network and was parked. I didn't have any issues with the update. There is a difference between using a phone Hotspot and tablet Hotspot due to the device overheating during large downloads.

I have to say thank you for this video of yours it helped me to my update on my new rand McNally tnd 1050. I was on the phone with Rand McNally and thinking about returning it and getting another one but I watch your video and did the data fix and it updated like a flash.

I have the 550 model and same issue with GPS. Thanks for the info your Awesome

How many of the rest of us are in love now? 😂

I still can’t use my keyboard I did the update and I can’t use nothing my keyboard or anything

If Rand McNally had Garmin accuracy they would destroy the completion

At least everyone the comments can get there’s to power up still. Mine stopped working 5 days after I got it.

Thank you so much I was going crazy I was updating my gps at home and it stop working thanks again

Same problem….Works now…thanks 👍

thanks for the video big help...

I REALLY need to thank you for this video. I just bought this GPS today and I had THE SAME ISSUES and was GOING CRAZY..LOL. this video really helped and its working.. thanks and stay safe out there.😉

Thank you. I just did the whole updates from my phone hot spot.

Anyone had a issue with full memory ?

Hot spot works perfectly, but this video helped 😊

I love my Rand McNally driver 8 pro 2! But just recently it quit showing the speed limit current speed if you could do a video on fixing that it would be much appreciated

Thanks do you know or happen to know how they're upgrades work towards getting a new one an trading in your old one.??

What does the diet of a trucker consist of? My ex girlfriends dad was a trucker and he told me it was mostly gas station cuisine. Is that true?

Very helpful, thank you 😎🫡
