Most Important Feature = Smart Mount

Although all truck GPS come with mounts, the TND Tablet 80 has a truly spectacular mount. It is magnetic like many of Rand McNally’s truck GPS mounts. However, it also comes with GPS boost through the commercial-grade GPS antenna. The antenna helps to pinpoint your location with much more accuracy than other truck GPS.

The magnetic nature of the TND Tablet 80 means that the device is securely held by the mount, but it will also detach easily. You will never have to worry about the tablet falling out of the mount when you drive. But you will also not need to pull hard to get it out of the mount. Finally, the mount also comes with a video-in port for extra cameras.

Other Notable Features

The Smart Mount on the TND Tablet 80 is our favorite feature. However, it is not the only notable feature on this device. Check out these other two great features as well.

Entertainment Options

Rand McNally knows that driving a semi-truck is just one aspect of your life. When you are on the road, you still need to be able to connect with friends, family, and the world at large. That is why the TND Tablet 80 comes with a number of app possibilities. These allow you to check your email, browse, read the news, stream films and tv shows, download games, and go out on social media. Now you do not need to disconnect from the world just because you are driving a truck.

Lane Guidance

The TND Tablet 80 comes with a very sophisticated lane guidance system. First there is the split-screen junction view that helps guide you through complication interchanges. The 3-D display also includes voice and visual guidance. Also, there are alerts that tell you what is up ahead as you drive. This feature takes a lot of the guesswork out of navigating your truck around the country.

Pros/Cons

Rand McNally’s TND Tablet 80 has a lot of pros, but some cons as well.

Pros

  • The large eight-inch screen is easy to read and use.
  • Traffic patterns predictions help you plan your route.
  • Shows you lots of options by offering route comparison.
  • Lots of entertainment options on the tablet portion.

Cons

The TND Tablet 80 has all of the GPS features that make Rand McNally such a trusted name in truck GPS, but it is also a great stand-alone tablet as well.

If you go out in your truck for long distances or if you drive a specialized truck that needs lots of stops, then the TND Tablet 80 is ideal. Try one today, and we guarantee that you will never go back to a plain GPS again.
