Suppport Thread for the TND 500, TND 700 or future Rand McNally products.

Of those options I would go with Don (dieselboss)
you can contact him direct to ask about the maps but I believe they
are lifetime.

 

The free lifetime maps special came with all of the Rand units at the first part of the year. For March and April the special is an instant rebated price reduction instead of the lifetime maps. For May/June? Unknown until that time arrives. The bottom line is that the lifetime maps special is governed by Rand and can be turned off and on at their discretion.

 

thanks mark-i went to support after getting my 510 and registered but didn't see the link-with your help i got the dock loaded onto my mac and updated my new 510 and all is good-thanks

 

Any update on the annual map update?

 

So how do I actually update the maps? I am registered with lifetime maps. Do I need an SD card to update them? This is for the 710.

 

The "New" dock is just the software update yes?

 

So I guess my 700 that I paid 499.99 two years ago is obsolete. I have had to replace it one year old for a bad battery. The new one quit working a year later. We were informed that since they had replaced it once--tough.
Customer service didn't get back to us. We were told that we could get 20% off if we bought a new one. Why? So that it can quit working in a year? Seems kinda expensive for a years use. Thats about 200 per year.
I really enjoyed the features but I can't afford the yearly price.
Any suggestions?
