    I tried running a route and my unit takes exit 195. Maybe it is an issue with your truck settings, especially if the load type is set to some type of hazardous material. Do you ever do hazmat?

    Very soon we will start a 7750 thread. To answer your questions about the 7750:

    Regarding the runtime error, we have two different AURA updaters. One for the 7700 and one for the 7750. Please un-install the updater program and then try downloading and re-installing. Be sure to download the 7750 updater. The updater programs are available <here>.

    A manual of operating hints is available <here>.

    I will inform our engineers about the POI icons.

    The first two issues I have forwarded to our engineers for review. Regarding taking exit 32 for the Glade Spring Petro, it should be fixed in the next map release.

    You were only partly right. Yes I was on vacation but I did think of you, if only briefly. :)

    Can you give me the address on Grey Ave? I can then check into it.

    I do hazmat and have a different truck profile set for that. It wasn't on that one. No signs there that didn't allow hazmat.

    Actually the Pilot is in Haubstadt . Your Pilot is probably wrong. The sold the old Pilot to Love's. Opened another Pilot across US41 from the Flying J. If you come from I-64 it tells you to turn left for the J, then tells you the J is on the left where the Love's is.

    Probably need to get with Loves on their new locations as they have bought out many Pilots. In their brochure for almost a year now it says "coming to Dickson TN!" No construction their yet. I think they are or were going to get the Pilot there. There is a new Loves in Waddy KY across the interstate from The "J".


    I have a 2 axle straight truck profile 13'6" to get around this problem. When I get the route running I go in and switch back to 72' 80K 5 axle 102" etc.

    The company in Springdale is Rockline Ind. 685 Gray Drive.

    From what I have been reading on here about the 500/700 and Cobra, I plan on getting a Cobra. It seems to have less problems then the others. But I still plan on using my old beatup map and truck stop directory. I don't think I could ever truly trust a GPS.

    Also I must admit I never read every post on both sides, it would take way to long. So I have a question of my own. Do I have to pay for an update right after I get the latest model? From what I can tell the 7750 is the newest one. Thanks for the help.
