    Yes to All. I am now getting road colors after resetting the 740 but still have an issue on how it will OFFER me a reroute based on traffic or is it automatically changing my route? which it seemed to have done twice now. also I can't find a way to "request" a alt route like i did on the 730

    > Well its no different then cell phones and computers. Tech is moving so fast that 12-18 months is about as long as you can expect before it starts to become outdated. by 3 years its a door stop.

    >>> Guy, if you want to still live by candle light that is your choice, but the bottom line is the world moves forward and tech moves even faster. so in less than 2 years tech is outdated. and most electronics take a beating in trucks so 2 years is a good life. you want to a pencil and paper that is your choice, not the rest of us. You want to whine about the fact that the rest of us have LED HD4 TVs and Satellites for TV or I can watch my Direct TV on my Tablet in My truck, while your 200 lb Tube TV is back at the house, that is your choice, not ours. This thread is about the RM models and needed help, you obviously need help in a different forum. So either ask as decent question that belong here, or go else where.......

    i was in the correct thread, i had a valid question or 2. regarding if i were to buy a memory card, would i be able to download the new updates. that's all my Rand said, "out of memory".

    i do not need new maps per say, only the construction detours or whatever other information that is downloaded on updates. i do not have the lifetime maps subscription as i have a rather regular route, and more maps are not needed. i asked a simple question or 2. got rudeness in return. had the Rand guy READ my questions and maybe asked if i need MORE maps, this could have all been avoided. as i see it, i did nothing wrong, but ask a valid question or two, what transpired after HIS remark to me, set off this chain of events.

    i was treated with the utmost rudeness, by a representative of Rand. great way to converse with a new member,

    I said "enough" because the conversation was going nowhere. RM is not going to change policy and if you like your 510 then use it with the understanding that you will not be getting Version or map updates.

    This is a support thread, not a place to "ramble" about how unfair a company is.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    This is your post... the 510 has not been supported for over three years for maps. I know since I make the Updater SD Cards for MATS and GATS. I do not know what you were downloading or when you got an Map update last.

    Out of disk space tells me you have probably files on your 510 that should not be there or you have an extremely large address book.

    POI's and Construction updates do not take a lot of space.

    Do a right click on your 510 (drive) when it is connected to the computer, properties and tell me what space is used/open.

    Again this is a forum to post issues/questions about Rand Products. Not to "talk" about how unfair a company is that they do not support hardware/software on products over 5 years.

    Thanks,
    Mark
