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 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.
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
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 👏
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.
Thank you!!! Lucky you that you could actually get Rand McNally on the phone. I had another issue that I needed assistance and was unsuccessful getting assistance.
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.
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.😊
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!
I've had the smaller 550 since 21 and now the unit even while plugged in all time it shuts down after 10 or 15 minutes and acts like the battery has just deteriorate to not hold any charge
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.
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!
I just bought the new Randmcnally Tab6 the other day, I imagine it came standard with all the updates you talked about, hope it lasts longer than my 550.
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.
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
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 so much for this video. I have the 740 and it did just as your GPS did. Thank you again. safe travels and Keep the shiny side up and the dusty side down. 😉
@jeffreyulery2182 If you're talking to me, yes it is. But I'm getting rid of it because I got the Hammer app. The highway patrol in Ohio told me about the app and it is good. Better than the Rand McNally for sure
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
I just bought this GPS and was astounded when I saw your video about the exact same issue. Thank you for making this video. It really helped me. I was sooooo frustrated because my gp's was stuck in update and I was using my hot spot at first
I switched to a Garmin a year ago and haven’t had any problems at all. Mount has never fallen while driving, not intermittent powering issues, cords going bad, nothing. At first I was nervous to spend more money on a GPS after messing around with rands for so long but I’ll never buy another RM again.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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 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
If you ask me RM made a mistake when they eliminated the RM dock on the computer and went to full wi-fi updating. I never had any issues with updating on the older model, and this new one seems to be a lot more glitchy. Also, despite what RM tech support says, I wouldn't do the full factory reset unless it's your absolute last option. I tried it and it caused a license key problem I still haven't gotten straightened out yet.
I hated the dock I didn’t have a problem with the 720 update over Wi-Fi but they changed so much with the 750 I was completely lost but the 720 always took me the right way. This 750 I swear I don’t know what they did but they f’d it up big time. This thing wants to take me the wrong way so much it’s not even funny. My brother in law’s having the same issues with his as well
@@williamstockton2344 to be fair, a while back i finally found a wifi connection that it was able to update on (which was a good thing because i was on the verge of getting rid of it one way or another). Once I did their huge system update the GPS was greatly improved. I'm actually happy with it now, but I still say they should've at least kept the option of updating on the computer if the wifi is going to be this picky.
Already done all this and it gets to 1 file, the .navi/ file and wont repair. Had it connected to a strong wifi signal for over 7 hours and it still didnt repair this 1 file.
@@williamsimmons6225 once its down to just that 1 file, put it back to factory settings, then try on different wifi connections until it finishes. Thats what ended up working for me.
Hello! Personally I like these types of headphones better than AirPods. The only reason is because technically you are not allowed to have both ears covered while driving. With air pods I felt the need to always have both in. Another great thing about the headsets is they are great at noise cancellation and to me are more comfortable to wear.
No… you can buy a deep freezer for trucking or camping and it’s slightly larger than a cooler… throw anything in there. Air fryer and you have a fridge along with crockpot foods. I stopped eating truck stop food unless it was sit down or popeyes chicken
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.
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
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.
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.
LOL into a frisbee. This is how i felt about my garmin and i had to upgrade...

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

I fkn hate my Rand McNally 8.0. I can't find GPS repair anywhere.
Two years later the tnd1050 is doing the same thing but starts in giving Bluetooth errors too
FABulous Trucker, you are a tech person with a common message that everyone understands without the Star Trek speak. Stay safe out there!

I don't use addresses as I use longitude and latitude to find the exact driveway to enter a customer.
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.😉
How long does repairing the data took..because am sitting for a hour trying and it's just loading
Thank you so much for this video. I have the 740 and it did just as your GPS did. Thank you again. safe travels and Keep the shiny side up and the dusty side down. 😉
your 740 still kicking?

I have the TND740 and this worked like a charm! Thank you ❤
Thank you so much. My gps is up to date now. Awesome job.
My GPS keeps rebooting randomly without telling me nothing. I made soft and hard reset and it's still doing the same.
Had the same problem with my 85 tablet, was told the same thing when I called McNally.

I recently bought this gps and I just wanted to know how you put it together and make it work in the truck
Was having this problem u helped tremendously thank u very much. U saved me $$$$
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.
This fixed my issue! 😊 Thanks so much.
Did all this and mine loads the route but said searching for gps...
Mine to
Thx very much I love your comments, great work and help.
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.

I had the same issue and fixed. Thanks and like the truck had the same truck 😊
So when I went inside the truck icon the gps repair isn’t there I got great WiFi
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
Same problem….Works now…thanks 👍
Thank u cause my works but it doesn't have a lot of addresses that don't come out
Thanks for this information.. I’m at a loves attempting to update my gps.. your video was very helpful
You ever gonna make anymore videos?
Thank you. I just did the whole updates from my phone hot spot.

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?
No… you can buy a deep freezer for trucking or camping and it’s slightly larger than a cooler… throw anything in there. Air fryer and you have a fridge along with crockpot foods. I stopped eating truck stop food unless it was sit down or popeyes chicken

What Info she’s clueless 🤦♂️ I just updated my gps with my hotspot in 50 seconds
You are awsome! Thank you for sharing all this information.
I was ready to toss it out the window but trying this now to resolve the issues
Thanks for the info
Great, helpful video
My sister Thank U for your help
Great explanation. Thanks.
At least everyone the comments can get there’s to power up still. Mine stopped working 5 days after I got it.
May abundance health and wealth be yours til eternity

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

Anyone had a issue with full memory ?

Thank you 🙏 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very helpful, thank you 😎🫡
Thank you very much
If Rand McNally had Garmin accuracy they would destroy the completion
Thank you really worked
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.
Thank you 😊
Omg thank you!!!
So I can't get the fix it to work
Thanks 🙏
Thank you!

I still can’t use my keyboard I did the update and I can’t use nothing my keyboard or anything
Good morning from Ohio
I'm doing it right now thanks to you queen great job
Thanks fab!
That was very helpful thanks for the advice
Nothing wrong with using an atlas. They are better then a gps.. they never stop working or need to be charged..
