    Could cause a few issues with the TND's. RM found that out a when they first pushed out to the TS's. Not recommended.

    Thanks,

    The version that the 720 is on is as the other poster's mentioned in preferences. In the x30's version you can control a lot more of the POI's for trucks. This will be in the next version to the x20's.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Then they need to pull these back off the market. That package was on a display of new TND 730's and 530's
    With the 760 and 100. The display makes it appear that the power pac is for those units
     
    Mark Kling Thanks this.

    Hi Mark.
    I bought the 720 start of August. Docked it and updated files. I have used the tell Rand button quite a few times. I have my GPS mounted on windshield by door/windshield post. I don't like taking it off the mount to connect to my computer. SO I wait a few weeks at a time to upload to Rand. I haven't given you the missing road and numerous "missing roads" because I have downloaded them via the dock. It is a pain trying to punch a send rand message while driving.
    So no reason to dock again until map upgrades are available. Thou lately I have turned the 720 off during the long drives cause its kinda useless on the interstate anyway.
     
    Mark Kling Thanks this.

    Okay, more news. They were redesigned and what is now in the truck stops should work.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Pilot/Flying J are owned by same company same as TA/Petro so why are the TA/Petros still 1 button on truck stop search while pilot/flying j have separate searches?
    All truck stops should show number amounts of parking spaces, & showers in details tab...not hard to find out since all the majors list them on their respective phone apps.
    Number of washers & dryers would be excellent as well to know if it is even worth stopping to do laundry at any time but the dead zones.
    All truck POI's should have the details tab selectable when selecting from any screen, not just certain searches.
    All truck POI's should have exit numbers and/or Mile marker (REST AREAS!!!) listings in their details since the mile marker tab goes away as soon as you exit road.
    Construction updates should include rest areas that are closed permanently or for renovation & should show as unavailable on searches.
    Rest areas that do not have bathrooms are not restful, should be designated as Parking areas in searches so as not to have to select & go to detail tab to find out.
    Searching for rest areas along route still gives me results in both my intended direction, & also the opposite direction for some reason even though most rest areas have no cross over to opposite side, only the rare center shared areas.
    Weigh stations should have restroom & 24hr safe haven parking information in details, & the ones that have 24hr parking should show up on rest area searches with their respective amount of parking spaces.
    Separate Blue Beacon quick POI search.
    Visual timezone boundary grid.
    Local time should be on top banner next to the ETA or at least have a solid background behind it, instead of being hard to see at times with the map background behind it. Plenty of room to the left of top right eta box...
    should be able to select more than only 1 info-cessory at once, I want my ETA to 90 (both the calender date AND time), the miles remaining, my current elevation, & local time zone with current time, all on the main screen at once.
     
    double yellow Thanks this.
