DALLAS, Aug. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Rising to meet challenges of the swiftly changing commercial trucking market, Rand McNally today officially launched three new driver solutions that address cab connectivity, advanced navigation, and electronic logging.
Following the early May launch of the OverDryve™ 8 Pro – an all-in-one dashboard device with hands-free connected features, navigation, SiriusXM® radio and an 8-inch screen – Rand McNally today announced the OverDryve™ 7 Pro, with a 7-inch screen and all the same functionality. The OverDryve™ 7 Pro, part of Rand McNally's OverDryve™ OS Connected Vehicle platform, is also E-Log ready.
The company also announced an all-new, dedicated truck navigation GPS device, the TND™ 540, which replaces the TND™ 530 and represents the fifth generation 5-inch TND™ device. Several months ago, the company launched the fifth-generation 7-inch device, the TND™ 740. The new device, with a 5-inch, high-definition screen, rounds out the company's dedicated truck GPS portfolio.
And, as the ELD mandate approaches, Rand McNally also has developed an inventive Wi-Fi-1 and cellular-enabled device that snaps together with the highly popular TND™ 740 truck GPS device to add compliant electronic logging to the device. For those drivers looking to minimize the number of devices in the cab, using the new DC 200™ S module in conjunction with the TND™ 740 creates an all-in-one solution.
"Our focus is to constantly innovate and develop new products that help streamline the daily drives and businesses of professional drivers," said Stephen Fletcher, CEO of Rand McNally. "This most recent expansion of our portfolio provides options that meet head-on new regulations, increased safety requirements, and the wishes of drivers looking for ways to make their on-duty and off-duty time more enjoyable."
Rand McNally made the announcement on the opening day of the Great American Trucking Show in Dallas.
The new lineup includes:
OverDryve™ 7 Pro
Ideal for those who prefer a slightly smaller screen-size without sacrificing any features of the original OverDryve™ 8 Pro, the OverDryve™ 7 Pro brings together critical driving and business tools, in-cab entertainment, and hands-free safety features, including:

DC 200™ S
The DC 200™ S takes all of the features of Rand McNally's DC 200 E-Log and fleet management device, and turns it into a compact "slice" that snaps together with the TND™ 740 to create an all-in-one ELD and GPS system.
