    Power it off for 12 hours, no AC nor DC. Then charge it on AC for 3 hours, power on and once on, press the reset.

    If that does not work, then contact Rand Support for an RMA.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    The 710 has the most current maps. Next set of maps has not been released yet.

    the Rand McNally Dock (they must have the new one) will inform LTM customers when map update is available for their device

    Thanks,
    Mark

    When I went from 820 Keystone BLVD Pottsville, PA to 7132 Ruppsville Rd Allentown, PA the GPS routes me to an 11' 8" bridge. After I detoured around the bridge it keeps wanting me to do a u-turn and go back under the bridge! It then erased the route and I had to restart it so it would show the route again. The bridge is north of the corner of Maple St. and Wilder St. Cressona, PA on PA-183.

    I have a question for Mark I have the 710 and it quit working yesterday it will not turn on i was having trouble with the powercord kept losing the connection and it would flicker at the truck stop it turned itself off i guess from lack of battery power and i have not been able to get it to turn back on last night i put a piece of tape on the cord to hold it down to the dash and the little red light lit up and after a few hours it did turn green but the unit still would not turn on and even then if you unplug the power cord and plug it back in it turns red and after a while it will turn green. I brought the unit home with me and plug it into the computer and the light turned red but when i tyred to restore the unit or update it it says that i have to plug the unit into the computer which it already is im not very techno savey as you can tell from this message but any help or ideas would be a great help im thinking im probably going to have to send the unit in for repairs

    Leave unplugged for 12 hours, then plug into AC (house) for 3 hours, turn unit on and press the reset. It should recover.

    Also call Rand Support about the DC cord. Let them know it is loose and will not stay in connected to the TND.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Thank You Mark the unit powered up and seems fine thanks again for the help. I will call Rand Support about the cord. I have to say when I was looking at GPS units one of the best things I liked about the 710 was the fact that you were on here helping us drivers with our issues. I hope for mine and everyone else's sake that you continue to help.

    They are in the process of switching from the Old Dock to the Latest Dock. Part of the issue with the last Dock version it "forgot" sometimes you were updated.

    Remember, the first thing it will do is check the files on your C:\ with the server. Then it will check the files between the C:\ and the TND.

    The first time you update on the Latest Dock it will require an TND be attached and it will do a backup of the TND.

    Thanks,
    Mark
