Rig-friendly design

The TND 720 features a bright 7" touch display in a rugged chassis. The navigator's easy-to-grip form makes it convenient to move in and out of your truck. And it's got an extra-loud speaker so you can hear the spoken turn-by-turn directions easily over road noise. A built-in photo viewer lets you share your favorite shots with others on its screen. You can connect any universal rear-view camera to the navigator's dedicated input for a big-screen view of what's behind you as you're backing up.

Rig-friendly directions

You'll get detailed maps of the United States and Canada, plus millions of searchable points of interest so you can find nearby truck parking, services, and accommodations. You can even add your favorite out-of-the-way locations for future journeys. You can select specific restrictions for your truck, including hazmats, loaded/empty weights, height, width, number of trailers, and more, and the navigator will find the best possible routes. A virtual dashboard  lets you keep track of percentage of trip completed, odometer, average speed uphill and downhill, and more.

Rand McNally's proprietary bridge height and weight restrictions information ensures the navigator finds the safest way to your destination, so you don't have to backtrack. The navigator will also show you rig-friendly amenities at the next exit, so you can find the best spots for parking and other road necessities.

You'll also get enhanced guidance features that are great for any type of vehicle, like junction view with lane assist to get you through complicated interchanges. Text-to-speech directions announce actual street names at turns. Speed limit indicators show you the posted speed limit where you're traveling, and alert you when you might be going fast enough for smokey to notice.

Helpful warnings

Sync the navigator to Rand McNally's exclusive road construction database through your computer — then hit the highway with confidence as the TND 720 notifies you of potential delays along your route and helps you find a way around them. You'll also get alerts for speed limit changes, sharp curves, and more.

Wi-Fi for weather updates

The TND 720's built-in Wi-Fi compatibilty comes in handy when you're wondering about the weather. Connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot, and the navigator can import weather conditions and forecasts for your current location, your destination, and anywhere along your route (data charges may apply, depending on your service provider). You can choose from ten different live map overlays to see important details for truckers, including wind speed and precipitation, all at no additional cost to you.

Optional traffic reports

If you're worried about getting hung up in traffic that could cost you time and money, Rand McNally offers a great solution. You can subscribe to their Traffic Everywhere service and keep delays to a minimum. Simply download the free Rand McNally Dock software suite to your computer, connect your navigator, and subscribe to Traffic Everywhere by entering the proper payment. Your navigator will automatically keep you up-to-date on traffic conditions in your area when it's connected via Wi-Fi. You can see congestion as it develops and find the best route around it, including along major truck routes in rural areas.

When available, the unit will display a cross reference to the most recent printed Rand McNally Motor Carriers Road Atlas. It has a large 7" LCD touchscreen display for excellent visibility.

Truck Routing: The TND 720 routes you to your destination, keeping in mind the special requirements and restrictions that are common to the trucking industry, such as size, weight, or cargo restrictions. At each exit, the Quick View shows which businesses feature truck parking and other amenities. There are also warnings for speed limit changes, sharp curves, dirt roads, and other potential trouble spots. You can switch vehicle type to car, if desired.

Multi-Stop Trips: When creating a multi-stop trip, you can enter the location of up to 50 stops. The Optimizer Wizard will organize the trip for the most efficient route. You can manually select the first or last stop, as well as reorder the destinations as you desire. Routes can be saved for future use.

The Driver Status field can be set to Automatic, which starts and stops the driving timers when the vehicle is in motion or stopped. You can also override the Automatic setting and enter the Driver Status manually (On Duty or Off Duty).

Road signs indicating the proper lane to travel are displayed, plus the distance to the turn. Once the maneuver is past, the previously-viewed window reappears.

Rand McNally Dock: The Rand McNally Dock software enables you to receive software upgrades, access map updates, construction updates, and communicate with the company. You can also export fuel logs to your home computer, and upload custom POIs, such as red light cameras, to the device. The Rand McNally Dock also includes product news, hardware support, and an online store. The Dock software is compatible with Windows and Mac, and can be downloaded to your home computer via the supplied USB cable.
