    Try this... leave it off and unplugged for 12 hours, then charge it on AC for 3 hours.

    On the DC cord on the USB end try squeezing the connector slightly to provide a more snug fit.

    On the DC end, try sliding a fork tang or a cable tie between the DC connector and the plug. This will help with the connector sliding out in a rough ride truck.

    PM me also.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    You were probably doing 20mph when you clicked on it. It is just prefilled in. For example, if it shows 65 and the correct speed is 70, you can type 70 there or if you are doing 70, it should show that. Hit the enter button.

    The next time you Dock it, it will send a Tell Rand back to RM so RM can verify and correct.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Had a good run with the GPS last night.Does anybody know how to turn SPEED WARING off???man the got old really fast going down the road.It really only sent me kinda out the way one time to get to a stop.Could have taken bus 17 coming out of jacksonville nc to get to orden but instead was sent on hwy 17 to only come back down and around.Oh well this thing will come in handy when i delivery to the bojangles up in washington dc at the train station.I did it with a my car GPS a couple of times

    Main screen/Truck Tools/Warnings/Speed

    Again, the GPS has to go by what you set for your parameters and based upon that and what is in the current maps as far as what each road segment is rated for by its parameters,, it will then pick a truck legal route. Just because you see another truck on the road, does not mean it is a STAA rated road.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Thank you for the quick reply! I will try what you said and go from there. I don't think I can PM you because I don't have 50 posts. I'm not the greatest with computer stuff either! Thank you again for your help.

    You are picking up CR (County Road) V68. Note there are three different names for the same road.

    How do you select a certain route to a destination ie if I'm going from Baltimore to Richmond and I want to take Rt. 301say. How do you program it to use that specific route? Thanks for your wealth of knowledge!

    I am understanding it has opened before? Have you loaded any new programs on your computer?

    Thanks,
