Support Thread for the TND 500, TND 700 or future Rand McNally products. (part two)

I have squeezed the male end of the power cord to the unit
to make it a lil fatter thereby a tighter connection
then taped the cord onto the dash to reduce vibration

I also have had better luck with 110 power sources then 12 volt

 

I hear ya

my issue is that I cant get it to "connect" to my laptop

same laptop i have used - 3 different cords

 

Understand that, but as I recall, there is not a way to immediately "jump" a particular distance down the road (like the 300 miles or 4 hours figures I used in my examples.) I really don't want to be scrolling through pages of listings when I'm sometimes trying to locate a place that might be 300 miles away or more.

So Mark, is there a way to do this?

 

Since the unit has wifi is there a way to do an update without the unit being hooked up to a computer ie: download the update then send it to the Rand unit or use the rand to "wifi" to corporate and download the update

like updating my iphone - just needs wifi

That would solve my problem

 

ok thanks Mark

guess i am outta luck then

another bad unit

Just a quick question....thinking about getting the TND Tablet. Is there a way to have my address book entries on my TND 730 transferred to the TND Tablet, and, if so, how? Would hate to reenter all of the entries (and some entries do not have addresses, just lat/long info).
