Thinking about buying a slightly used Rand McNally 710 and was wondering if you can purchase updates and how much it would cost to do so. Is used a bad idea? There is a big price difference.
Updates on a used GPS

you can get a brand new 520 for $219 with lifetime updates
I dont look at the map often so bigger screen isn't helpful to me
i turn the volume up when getting close to destination
after already loooking at the area with google satellite -
Right now a Brand new TN 730 is $299 at Pilot/Flying J. Has Lifetime maps updates free of charge, a 1 yr warranty and a Good repair/replacement plan. You won't get that with a used unit, bennies are only to registered owner.

If you're in a truck the Rand McNally 520 (or 720) will be the best $200 bucks you'll ever spend. It's a truck gps not a social or grocery getter gps. When your phone has no service all those phone based routing apps are useless.
However Drag Routing would be cool if my 520 had it. the 520 screen is kinda small for that I think but the 720 would be ok. -
I bought a factory refurbished Rand 720 from a seller on ebay for $209.99 with free lifetime updates.
It came with all accessories - just without the factory box...
Also registered it and downloaded the latest updates.
Now, need to put it to use soon...Last edited: Aug 18, 2014
