    Have any 720 owners had any issues with the new map update? My system is current, so it would just be the maps updated. It requires a new SD card, it seems.

    New map on 730 crashes a lot. Not freezing like the 720 but still crap. I think I'm done with RM. has the features I like but every unit has just been too unstable. Tired of the resets.

    Ive had my TND 730 for about 6 weeks now and the first 5 weeks it worked perfect! Was truly a great buy until this week when I noticed that I could put in a trip and say my trip was 1000 miles and I was about to where I needed to find a truck stop to shut down so I go to choose destination, POI, my route, then travel centers, and it searched the available truck stops on my current route the only problem is now I noticed and it wasnt doing this before but now it would show that a truck stop was say 100 miles from me and if I hit add as a via to go to that truck stop it would then recalculate and actually be 150 miles away and not the 100 miles making it a pain in the ### to find somewhere to shut down where as the first 5 weeks of using it it worked perfect and made life really easy. Not really sure how to fix this. Dont wanna send it in cause it really should be a simple fix.... I hope.

    Mine does same thing; pretty sure it shows stops as the crow flies rather then actual road miles.

    This cracked me up. They used a tore up Prostar with an idiot with his tandems all the way to the front.

    Yep..... That's the guy I want on an ELD!

    It never did that the first 5 weeks unless you where running in a straight line every time. It gives a as the crow flies till you select it and it plots on your route.

    Yea and now I realize all those times the first 5 weeks I had picked truck stops that were within 20 to 30 miles on the same interstate I was currently in which is why I hadn't noticed. Make sense now lol I hadn't really thought about that til yall brought it up
