Suppport Thread for the TND 500, TND 700 or future Rand McNally products.

Your cell phone should support the encryption. I know of one Mi-Fi that runs a different encryption and they just had to change it via the software manager. What model of phone are you using?

I will pop on the other issue later today.

Thanks,

Ah,,, Are you setting up a HotSpot with your phone or trying to use Internet Sharing with the 720? The 720 needs to be connected to a Hotspot.

Usually you have to have "HotSpot" enabled by your carrier. This is usually a separate charge that includes a data plan. I am not familiar with the W8 phones but I did find this. You can try this and see what happens.

Note - if you mouse over the Red Text the sample screen will show you what screen it is on.

On the TND, on the Map screen when you tap the "I" button towards the bottom right, then WIFI, Enable WIFI, does this screen show the Broadcast Name of your phone?

I might have to stop in a Phone store and take my 720 to see how it works with the W8.

If it acts like a computer does, once the "Sharing" is turned on, the phone should broadcast a "HotSpot" signal. The 720 should be seeing this.

Try to connect the 720 to the phone before you send me the file below.

I will be back in a couple hours. In the meantime, connect your 720 to the computer, open up your E-Mail and send me this file.

Navi/Logs/- scroll all the way to the bottom and send me the last file.
