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

FYI it was working after the format and reload. Then i tried the map update again and it froze the computer and it rebooted mid update. Now the GPS hangs at the splash screen and not recognized my the computer.

 

New issue-

When the 520 looses contact with my hotshot for whatever reason, it will not reconnect without having to reboot the device. It wants the WAP pass code but won't accept it until rebooted.

no just sitting in kitchen. I was driving when it acted up. Took out of truck sat it turned off 48 hrs in the kitchen put it back in truck.

 

Tried it and it did not help it's seems to be about a 3/4 of an inch in on the right side of the screen about half way up. i'm gonna pm you my phone number hopefully you can call me and see what to try next

 

Friendly hint: Don't Completely trust the routing. My 520 gave me the fastest route from La Grande, OR to Lewiston, ID. OR 82 - OR 3 - WA 129.... which I now know to be Rattlesnake Pass..... Lot's of fun in condo cab with a 53 foot trailer. Might consider putting a warning on that type of road in the GPS for the idiots (like me).

Before folks start screaming, I did glance at the map in the atlas 1st, but forgot to look up restrictions in the front of the book. 60 ft length restriction on singles or 75' on doubles... duh.

 

i have the files, but the computer does not recognize the GPS now. It's froze on the splash screen

 

First let me clarify- the wifi was stale and was on overnight with no activity. Regarding your question, yes I did cycle the wifi enable and reentered my wap pass code twice before rebooting. It has done this many times in the past with and without a stale wifi state. Not sure if the wifi hotspot on this phone burped and that caused the problem or what but the cure seems to be rebooting.
