    Im a new driver for this company and they had a Cobra 7700 pro installed before I took over as their driver....My only question is How do you update the maps? I have used the USB port and thought by connecting it to my computer it would install some kind of software so that I can update things. So far it has not said anything or prompted for an update request.

    The map update for the 7700 is now available! Thank you for your patience, and sorry for the delay. The price of the update is $79.95. It comes on an SD card that plugs into the side of your unit. After the update is done the SD card can be removed. To order the map update, please call Customer Service at 773-889-3087. Be sure to have the serial number of your unit when calling. The serial number is located on the back, under the mounting plate.

    Part number of the map update: MAP 7700 SD

    If by chance he still has a problem after the update, then I would recommend that he send his unit to me and I will take care of it.
    BTW, the update is free for everyone.

    Brian, I'm confused because I don't understand how your update price of $79.95 squares with your promise quoted above. :biggrin_2556:

    The first update we released was (and still is) free. The above message is referring to the first update. The newly released update (update #2) is not free. Sorry for the confusion.
