Support Thread for the TND 500, TND 700 or future Rand McNally products. (part two)

Ok I have a question on the Traffic on my 740
What does it Do???
I have it turned on, WiFi connected, setting are set to use traffic. Yet i never see it do anything.
i even have the live traffic turned on for display and the only time i see the road colors is if its zoomed in, which in auto mode it almost never is.
and i have noticed that my 740 will run me right into traffic. no re-routes, no warnings, nothing seems to happen.
Now at least on my 730 i had the traffic bar that i could see there was an issue up the road and then click on it to find that issue. but on the 740 i can't find anyting, except if i go into setting on the screen for Live i can get ALL the traffic stuff but that doesn't really do me any good since i don't know where such and such is.
Am i missing something??

 

Last i heard traffic on the 740 was broken and that Mark was pushing for a fix on it.

 

I would suggest the Waze app... Works great for traffic and bear reports as well...
I run it on my phone along with my 720...

I have decided not to purchase any of the new offerings by anyone for now as none of them seem to have their act together...

I get the impression that they just throw stuff out there and wait for the consumer to find all the flaws...
No quality control...

 

I couldn't agree more! That new Overdrive 8 sure looks sweet, but no way I'm dropping 600 bucks knowing the issues of previous products. Plus, Waze redirects real-time. Used in combination with my 730, it can't be beat. And it's FREE!

 

I don't know Mark...
I have confidence in you but given the problems that I see drivers having on this forum as well as reviews I have been reading on various consumer sites and youtube , have caused my lack of confidence in the recent products offered. These are expensive investments and should be more reliable or perhaps had driver input towards development.

 

Oh yeah i remember now

Mark any updates on TRAFFIC?

 

Amazon reviews and just search the tnd740 on YouTube and you will get all you want.
