The Rand Tablet replaces Rand McNally's older TND navigators as the company's in-cab truck device. Rand says its navigation calculates the fastest legal routes based on truck weight, clearance, load restrictions and other parameters, and it can order up to 10 stops per trip. Drivers get live traffic, weather and fuel prices, warnings for road work, tolls, speed changes and steep grades, stop sign locations and speed camera alerts, plus 3D city mapping and lane guidance. The tablet comes in 6, 7 and 8 inch sizes, and the 8 inch adds a camera and magnetic mount. The Rand McNally store lists it from $299.99 to $499.99. Rand claims its map data has 229,000 more miles of STAA designated roads and 44,000 more miles of weight-restricted roads, figures that come from the vendor rather than an audit. Fleets get no central routing portal on this product page.
