    Our Engineers have not found a problem and they are asking for a starting address and an ending address so that they can examine the route. Do you have this information?

    Try this route start at 1350 Shawson dr Mississauga Ontario to ending 400 Zenway blvd Woodbridge Ontario it should route you along Shawson dr to Dixie rd then Dixie rd south to Hwy 401 east to Hwy 427 north --Hwy 427 north ends at Zenway blvd ---400 Zenway blvd is a couple of hundred meters west of the Hwy 427 or a left turn ---Even runing the simulation does the same thing when it gets to the hwys it refers to them as O-N not hwys
    eg take the next right O-N 401 it actualy says O then N
    It should be take next right on hwy 401
    I only work in the greater Toronto area so i have not tried it anywhere else in Canada

    I set all the parameters in for my truck, and I am constantly getting a warning in a red circle saying <-- 38' --> for every bridge I go over and under. I rechecked the parameters I put in and they all seem correct...do you have an answer for this?

    Let me make sure that I understand your complaint. It is true that we used to call it "Highway 402" and now we are calling it "O-N 401". I imagine that it is short for "Ontario 401". Is this the only issue? Is there anything particularly wrong with the name change?

    Thank you

    yes the name change is going to confuse everybody nobody here calls it O-N or Ontario 401 it as done the O-N to all the hwys here
    All the signs on the hwys or directing you to them from city streets state hwy 401 or hwy 404 and so on it may be annoying for us that live here but for someone from the USA or any other part of Canada is going to get confused or even think there is a problem with there cobra 7700
    i have had a few gps systems and this is the only one that as done this after a update thanks

    Is this in California? We had a software bug that was resolved with an update that you can download from our website here:

    Are there alternative mounts available for the Cobra 7700? I drive different trucks all the time since I retired and work part time. Need a bean bag type maybe.

    Sorry but the only mounting methods we offer are included with the unit. You can use the suction cup bracket to attach the unit to the windshield, or use the suction cup bracket to attach the unit to the included adhesive-backed mounting disk. The mounting disk can be stuck to the dash, etc.

    The main reason we do not offer bean bag mounts is because in the event of an accident, the nav unit can become a dangerous projectile. Better that it is secured in some way.
