    Just need better software developers for these apps, the tablet itself is fine but they are being cheap I would assume.

    That was the thing.
    Can't force 4-5G into a 3G box.

    Still, it's like going from the RM 540 to the 550.
    Less functionality in a more expensive and supposedly more advanced package.
    More advanced on the technical side for sure, but the programmers on the software side leave a LOT to be desired.

    Get yourself an Garmin OTR 700 I’ve used it for the past month and it equals to the precision of my Garmin Dezl LMTS model with one exception. It has better routing capabilities and so far it hasn’t failed me. When I first got it I freaked out that it took me on a different path but it turned out that it was actually showing me a faster path then my Dezl unit.

    Hi, I'm from Zonar's research team and I would leave to hear more on experiences / opinions using our products. I want to learn how we can improve our products for you!

    There’s a guy who was tired of his bank, and so he went to look for another one. He found one to his liking and so he came inside the bank in order to inquire about an account, this isn’t a large chain bank and so the rates were the best around, the representative then gave him a brochure to read over, and that he did thoroughly; after he was done he gave the brochure back to the rep. and declined. The rep. was dumbfounded and asked the man, “What happened?” The man replied,”I cannot trust a bank who makes simple spelling errors to handle my money, Goodbye.”

    If you are on the research team don't you have access to all the calls to customer service?
    I've called a few times myself.

    And if you would 'leave' to hear more experiences, I doubt you would actually hear any of them.

    In the hot Arizona climate, I’ve had Zonar tablets power off because of the heat or not power up until they had an acceptable ambient temperature, totally unacceptable.

    I also had one that would not charge in the docking cradle. The only way to charge it was to use a micro usb cable and a 12 volt plug in.
     
    UXR_Zonar Thanks this.
