    I don't think I want to update my 520 right now.
    After that last big one I did it is working perfectly.
    No lockups, it is faster, and I really love things like being able to zoom in and out and center the view where I want in that one place... the overall route view.
    I also really like the split screen in Junction View, and it shows the lanes much more accurately.

    I'd hate to lose that with a newer little update that might break something.

    Yeah it was like buying a new car, that was missing some of the standard features. And some of the ones that are there aren't working right.

    If my 720 lasts, buying a new one next year.

    I grabbed a 720 for $170 and it's a refurb. Just waiting on my sd card and will install the updates and see how it goes. If I don't like the Rand I'm sure I can recoup most of my money and go with plan 2.

    I hope Mark Kling sees this.

    Is Rand McNally ever going to fix the Dock not being compatible with Apple's most recent OSX? It's frustrating, not to mention, seriously unsafe, to have a map that can no longer be updated with my Mac. And I refuse to buy a PC just because the RM engineers can't get an update issued.

    Thanks,
