For the first time in, well, I don’t know if I’ve gotten Map Updates for my RM 740 ever. Maybe I did but I don’t remember when. Great having that Lifetime Updates… LOL
So anyway, ya, it happened. They actually released an update to their Map Database.
I went in to look at a few troubled areas that I was aware of and sure enough they are not correct.
now if my hardware will last a bit longer so that I might enjoy this major event happening.
RM releases Map Updates???

It’s about time. So far my RM740 has been working fine. It’s a large download. Only problem I had was after it downloaded all the files and verified them. Was going through applying them to the GPS I got a error message saying that RM stopped functioning. Not sure if all went okay or not. Checked my map with a destination entered and it seems fine. Where you press to check for downloads there is a small dot. Don’t have time to check right now so I’m glad it’s working fine. Did you have any problems?MidWest_MacDaddy Thanks this.

Ill wait till i have my other gps handy before trying the install

I had my CoPilot App ready and updated with the newest maps before attempting to update and glad I did. Failed during update and I had to “Repair GPS” multiple times to fix the 49 corrupted files. Slow going on a cellular connection.
But now the update dot is appearing once again with the same 5.9 Gb download. I’ll be waiting until this weekend to address that when I’m on a better Wi-Fi system and not cellular. -
I meant to say…
“They are NOW correct” -
Let me know how it goes. It seems like it’s always something.

They must not like me. I’ve had an RM730 and now an RM740 and can’t remember ever getting updates.
Maybe I did but I find so many roads not in my database.
and so SO many Loves too.
Thought I’d have to buy the RM750 to get updates… LOL -
RM 730 UPDATING is a pain... you must go to RM website "with a computer" down load the update. Store it on a micro SD card then with the 730 turned off insert the SD card then turn on the 730 and it will load the update.... real pain....
The 730 uses RM'S own os. 740 and newer uses Android os.... 740 and newer update over wifiSiinman Thanks this. -
Or connect the 730 directly to the computer and skip the SD Card.Siinman Thanks this.
