    Update for 1.2gigs just came across my 720. (Looked like maybe Map burst ?) Still having lockup issues even with the new card. Starting to wonder if I have to wipe and reload everything.

    It's not that one or the other is "better." The Android OS and the Rand GPS app are identical. The differences are: screen size, number of cameras, and battery storage. The T70 has 2 built-in cameras and the T80 has one. Both of them can attach an external camera as well. The T70 has a 2500 MaH battery (verses 4000) because it doesn't burn as much battery with the smaller screen.

    Some drivers like the big 8" version, and some say it's a bit too big. Some drivers want a front-facing camera for Skype or video chat, some don't care about that. And a $50 price break (at the time of this writing if being sold at MSRP.)

    Should be more than that.. What kind of Micro SD Card are you using? I can tell you how you can trick the Dock into re-downloading the map files again.

    Make sure you are on high speed internet and not Wi-Fi at a truck stop.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    I dont know...it wasn't me. I just thought about asking on here yesterday because it just started happening to me. But if you answered in another thread...could you link it to me so I can find an answer please. I don't want you to have to re-type it.

    The post reads so familiar... wondering if I read it and forgot to answer or I did answer and the reply did not post..

    anyway... contact RM customer support, sounds like the USB port is going bad on the Tablet. I just had one repaired for the same issue.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    PNY Class 10 16gig, you sent me the file already. Map files got redownloaded then this update dropped.

    Not locked sense the update lastnight, GPS seems a hell of alot more responsive. We will see if it lasts.

    The Dock rolled you back a version. The newest version to fix the slowness is in QA right now.

    Thanks,

    It sensed you were out of route when you took off that other exit and it rerouted you according to your settings and what is truck legal in this area. I feel you have it set to Freeways Allow. This will normally take you on US routes more.

    Thanks,
    Mark
