    I currently have a Garmin Nuvi 6600. I have about 90 poi's programmed in my gps, and would like to know how to program these into the cobra 7700 pro. Is there an easy way to do this without individual addresses like the Garmin or do I have to do them the hard way?

    my husband has bought a cobra gps 7700 2 months ago,as for him an owner operator truck Driver this unit is a must in going all over North America.He was so satisfied with the unit till yesterday when he tried to update the software by using the dvd sent to him by You.After more than 40 minutes he realized that the download was frozen and when he looked at the unit screen the messagewas displayed :no system file .this message is still on the screen(IT LOOKS THAT SOMEHOW ALL THE DATA WAS LOST IN THE DOWLOADING PROCESS) even though he followed all the steps from the instructions wich were sent with the dvd.Ever since the computer seems that is incapable of recognizingthe unit as a removable device even though the screens display the: usb connected message when connected to the computer.The operating system on the computer is Windows 7.Now he called the Customer Sevice in Chicago and was told that the updating disc could be the culprit,and it will be sent to him an Sd card for updating.Now my question is if You think that this it will work as the message :No system file is still displayed on unit screen.He is so devastated over this incident as he had to leave this morning to work after a sleepless night ,without the unit to wich he became so acustomed to.What are his other options if somehow the sd card option fails also,as he paid 500usd for this unit and he can not afford to buy another one

    I don't think that the DVD was the cause of the problem. Most likely there was some kind of glitch that happened during the update. If for some reason the SD card does not fix it then the nav unit would need to come in to Cobra. However I am virtually positive that the SD card will do the trick.
