Cobra Electronics 7700 PRO GPS

When you apply power to the 7700 PRO, it will automatically turn on. I suspect that you had it plugged into your cigarette socket. When you turned on the ignition, the 7700 PRO automatically came up.

I have never heard of one just randomly turning on by itself. I guess that you could also double-check that the unit is indeed off before leaving the truck. Especially if your your cigarette socket stays live with the ignition off.

For those of you who have been asking for a more complete manual, these operating hints will come in handy:

It is a PDF file with hypertext.

I will try to have an answer for you today. One thing for sure, you will not be able to edit the address book. At most you can save the address book file to a laptop for safe keeping. I need to figure out which file, and then I can write a simple batch file to copy it.

OK, a utility is now available for saving a backup of the address book into your computer. It is NOT possible to edit the address book.

Not only will the address book be saved, but also all your user settings such as map settings, your truck setup, etc.

The utility is available here:

Enjoy!
