    Any way to add the option between a partial and full fillup on the fuel section of the 720? Had everything logged just like I do on fuelgauges until I had to do a partial fillup. Gave up on that feature at that moment.

    Hay Mark,

    Thanks again for your diligence regarding my lockup issue on my 730. After further testing by myself, it turns out that it seems the root problem of the lockup is when the unit goes into 3D mode. My personal preference is to set the map options to auto zoom and 3D mode. Even without traffic enabled it licks up (seemingly in or near large cities or winding roadways). There seems to be constantly increasing memory usage when in that mode. It will either lockup as soon as 5 min and as long as several hours. Again this without wifi services enabled. With wofi services it can happen sooner. If I set the unit to north up or heading up, no lockup even with traffic enabled.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks, I have been testing here also and have seen the lock up, but have been trying to duplicate 2-3 times to narrow it down. I will run the same and see if it happens again.

    Thanks,

    Driving on a rainy day in Chicagoland. So lots of time to nit-pic.

    First off it's been raining for 4 hours and the Probability color is light green indicating 10% chance of rain.

    2nd off every radar in the world that I have ever seen has the shade of green darken with intensity. Why does RM make me have to think twice with this on my screen.

    Because RM cannot assume that 100% of the users know that. If we do then RM will get a Tell Rand wanting to know why they don't have a color chart. You can press the bar to toggle off of it.


    Weather is internet related, so what the provider is sending out is what is shown. (myweather.com).

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Not a fix per say, the needed files have not been pushed to the 530/730 yet. They are in the final stages of the file updates and hopefully should be pushed out soon.

    Thanks,
    Mark
