Cobra Electronics 7700 PRO GPS

The 13'6" bridge? I turned left off of Washington less than 1/2 mi. This was going into downtown. I think just before the town square.

 

Brian, I have had some interesting things happening, just the first time I have been able to post em up, Ive had this unit since April and I noticed that at times it will point left and say turn right and point right and say turn left. Also why does it read exit numbers in spanish? but everything else in English. Funny I thought. Almost like learning spanish on the fly i guess...

Anyway I use it every day in downtown LA for getting from drop to drop, only true complaint I have is the fact that some streets it says no trucks and weight limits yet it routes me down them anyway, then others where I know we can go it wont route to it or from it.

IE Carmineta Rd in Santa Fe Springs, CA (Between Imperial Hwy and Rosecrans) It says theres a weight limit yet there are 6 different trucking companies and its on a truck route LOL.... Oh well

 

Tonight headed North on I-81 in VA. I plugged in Lee Hi truck stop in Lexington. All the signs say exit 195. Bebe tried to get me to exit on 191 on I-64. The place is 1/2mi. off the 195 exit. It has never done that before. When I got off it tried to route me South to 191.

It told me I was 8.98mi. from the T/S as I was entering the parking lot. It didn't list the street. It said "unknown street."

Also every time I go through Knoxville it always wants to route me on the 640 bypass. That is only necessary when hauling hazmat. It is longer to take 640.

 

How is the new 7750 platinum?

 

From what I have seen it is OK for O/O,may not be worth switching for me.

 

Brian,

Are you taking posts for the 7750 here on this thread? I just bought one and got a runtime error while trying to update it through the Aura.Cobra.com website listed here on the included paperwork.

Also......

Several questions as 1, how to get the full manual. 2, possible updating of POI iconography(truckstops and travel plazas have a generic icon)

Thanks,

A.

 

OK here is another one. Love's Tom's Brook VA to The TA in Troutville VA. The exit going West is 150A. It wanted me to go to the 146. The TA is right there at the 150.

Then from the TA to 364 Exide Drive Bristol TN. It wanted me to get off at the 3 in VA and run 381. Company directions had me getting off at the 69 in TN. Really close to the interstate. (this is the same problem my friends's Garmin does for the same location.)

The from Exide I put in for the Petro in Glade Spring VA. It told me to go to the 32 exit. Good thing I saw the sign telling me it was at the 29!!

WTH is going on?

 

Brian:
Thanks for your maintaining this forum, I just ordered a 7750 also. Will this thread be used for the 7750 also? I guess I'll have the same questions as above.

Brian,

Will this thread be the place to post concerns with the 7750 as well? Had it for three weeks now, have quite a few notes for you.

Without going into more detail now, till I get your answer if this is also for the 7750, REST STOPS!

I've found most of them to be wrong, especially in Wyoming, and Colorado. Not to mention almost all of the POIs on I80 on wyoming are either wrong, nonexistant, or in the wrong place. Can this be updated?

THe lane assist is a HUGE help, especially the Sign view. Although occassionally either the voice, or graphic, is wrong, usually not both.

Thanks,

Clutch

 

I was in Springdale AR today. Truck routes were marked with signs. Bebe had nearly every street in the industrial park as 2.5 ton limits. Dragged me way out of the way to get to the Pilot from the shipper on Grey Ave.

The info really needs updating.

Bet Brian is on vacation not even thinking about us
