    I was wondering if you can show some pics of your setup?
    I am also considering a Cobra, but my work will have me in different trucks every day, and wonder if I can still do the visor mount that Michael has.

    OUTSTANDING Thread btw... :biggrin_25519::biggrin_25514:

    Also for you guys who can't see your right front fender because of the size of this unit because it sits on your dash or winsheild? I took mine apart and put it on my sunvisor. I used 2 large thin black ties to hold it to the sunvisor, it's snug and looks good. I bought an extension plug and ran the wires under my dash and out of sight......If I could post a picture I would....Can we post here?

    I don't see that by running the route. From Derry it turns right onto Maritz and then to the destination. I am using a 3 axle tractor, 2 axle trailer with all the default settings. I'll give it to our engineers and they can actually simulate driving the route and see if this issue occurs.

    There is a separate thread for the 7750. I will post the answer there. Click <here> to go to the 7750 thread.

    Brian, My unit has also locked several times.

    I've also had a few address problems. (Not the 20 mile types)

    Twice the unit told me to make a u-turn on a divided hwy, When I (Safely) did so, it told me to make another u-turn going back the direction I was originally going. Did not think it was funny at the time.

    In my experience, the software update has cured about 95&#37; of the lockups that I was personally experiencing before I installed the update. Obviously, a big improvement.

    However, mine has locked up about a half dozen times since January. The few lockups I get now seem to be because I'm pushing command buttons faster than the machine has time to process the command it's working on. While that's still a big improvement, the problem could probably be eliminated completely by fixing the buffer that requested commands are stored in prior to execution (hint: Windows used to have the same problem).

    Please provide the starting location and the destination location, and where this occurred. We can then run the route to see what happened.
