    Got tired of my TND 710 going blank and messing with the power cable so I broke down and bought the TND 720. I must say it's a vast improvement. Established connection with my wireless router in the truck but was always getting the message that there was no Internet connection so I went into the control panel for my router and checked the option to remember this client and viola, success. Now if I can just figure out how to transfer my address book from the 710 to the 720 I'll be all set. As soon as I can find my receipt for the 710, I'll be getting an RMA and get it sent in for repair.

    If you can move files the address book on the 710 is under Navi/user/addressbook/addrbook.db, it would go in the same path on the 720.

    Address book
    Navi/user/address book/addrbook.db

    Settings
    Navi/user/user.ini

    History
    Navi/user/trip.db

    Mileage
    RM/user/truck.db

    Avoided roads
    RM/User/avoidedsegment.db

    Memo (7" only)
    RM/User/Memo.db

    Thanks,
    mark

    Thanks Mark.

    Figured it out already. I copied the address book from the 710 to my desk top then put an underscore in front of the filename in the 720 and copied the file from the desktop into the 720. Success to say the least. BTW, does the 720 come with lifetime map updates? And, is the traffic recvr worth the effort?Thanks again, Doug.

    Now if I could get a decent Internet connection here in PA so the update wouldn't take so ###### long.

    Could be an all nighter with the connection speed I have right now.
