    I will definitely do as you suggested. Every GPS has its little quirks, so it is good to get the low down on this RM. I really appreciate it. Thanks for the comeback!

    NP. Like i said, when it works, it's amazing. My main complaint is that it craps out a LOT.

    yep. Basically when you remember to do it and have time. Usually I do it on a 34 with hotel WIFI from my laptop. It's pretty up to date, but not THAT much. (Though I've been surprised at times)

    I'm getting more convinced everyday that my Smartphone and a good truck atlas is so much better then blowing 350+ on a GPS I can buy a lot of beer and a lizard or two for that!

    Just got my RM730 today it has no charge on it obviously. I did notice on the back a tiny reset button. It can be pressed in with a ball point pen or something small and it resets just fine. I'm charging it now so I can mess with it and figure out the gadgets on it.
