    I have noticed some things for the past 5 months with mine.

    First it will tell me turn left or turn right but point the other way. I follow the arrows and not the voice and its correct.

    Second I find its reading exit numbers in Spanish. Kinda funny actually, but not at the same time. Everything else is english then the actual exit number is spanish lol.

    I called Customer Service today and was told the upgrade was $160.00 plus $8.00 for shipping.
    My 7700pro which is only 2 months old cost me $600.00 with tax. Now Cobra wants other $170.00 for what I thought I was getting in the first place. A truck spec GPS.
    SO Cobra wants all us BETA testers (yes, that is what anyone who bought the 7700 is.) to pay to beta test this unit too.

    why $160 when garmin and maggelan offer ther updates for less than $75
    and ive heard the other truck specific gps gives free updates come on cobra for the price of this thing you should have free update for 1 year and then $75 or less after that

    Very good point! We already paid a premium to obtain this unit; now we 're getting nailed again with sky high updates! Why can other manufactures do it for less than half of Cobra and still make a profit:biggrin_25516:? That stinks big time!

    For what it's worth, this is what I did:

    1. Punch the address into a 7700 and then tap on MAP to view the location on the map.
    2. Go to Google Maps on the internet, and view the address. It was the same location.
    3. Go to MapQuest on the internet and view the address. It was the same location.
    4. Go to Google Earth and punch in the latitude and longitude coordinates that were displayed on the Cobra. It was the same location.
    Conclusion: The 7700 has the correct location for 401 N. Roman in New Orleans, LA. I cannot find any problem. I am wondering if you somehow entered the address incorrectly, or maybe you have an older map database and need to upgrade to our latest database.

    I know this was a while ago, but do you remember what you were doing at the time? Were you tapping on the screen, or just driving? Where where you on Hwy 400?
