    On my RM 740 I go into the Truck Info screen and select my HazMat category and set my weight.

    I don't haul hazmat but I have my max weight set up at 80 and it allowed me to leave it at always empty. I rely on signage mostly anyway and utilize the GPS to go somewhere if I'm unfamiliar.

    @Mark Kling What can you tell us about the newest 550/750's coming out? Thinking about updating my 720, but I still don't trust those mag mounts to much. I assume it's faster of course, but how's the "2.0" Navigation? Am I also to assume that the weather/traffic overlays are subscriptions?

    Thank you

    What is that thin orange line that goes from left to right under the top header? the same line is also in the small box in the top left corner. It moves across the screen during the trip. Also what's up witht he weather overlays? soon as I take off the overlays disappear and can't bring up any weather until i stop and restart itI have good cell reception in Chicagoland.

    I have the OverDryve 8 Pro.

    I had this problem with my TND80. i used to sit the unit low in the cab on the cup holders. When I brought it up onto the dash the problem seemed to go away. Maybe try to give the unit clear view of the outside if you're not already.

    Thank you!! I never knew you could. Set up a trip to Oelwein, Iowa it was 17 hours. Changed the eta to less time now it's 15 hrs 14 minutes. Made a huge difference. Any other tips you have for RM?
