Mark, again the 730 routes me on a longer (time & distance) route. From Tulsa, Ok to Garnet, NC. 730 wanted to send me I-44 to St Louis to Nashville, etc. Shorter going thru Little Rock to Memphis to Nashville, etc. 1220 miles 20:27 vs 1164 miles 19:21.
Route fastest. Allow freeways, tollways, ferries & tunnels. Avoid U-turns & dirt roads. I didn't notice these routing problems before the map update a month or two ago. -
Replacement 740 is working so far. Made sure to test sound on the dock before migrating old user files. A few differences from previous 740: have not registered this unit, have not updated DriverConnect ELD app, and did not move all user files over. Only moved (from 730) the following from Navi/User/: AddressBook, History, Trip.db. On previous 740, also moved RM/User files (AvoidedSegment.db, Downloadedtrails.db, etc).
What is the purpose of Memo.db and Truck.db files (in RM/User)?
Will update if major issues occur. So far, sound works while docked. Importantly, address book & history from 730 is present.
Do miss having the current county listed in map view- helpful in understanding severe weather alerts. Previous TNDs had this feature. -
Mark...
I am looking on Amazon for the 740 but i notice that they no longer offer the 740 on their site.
They do offer the 730,720 and tablets.
Is there a reason they no longer offer the 740? -

I bought 4 730's and you fixed three of them for me. All four had wear issues where the male power cord plugs into to female power receptical.
I bought the subsequent GPS tablet and am presently starting to see similar problems. The power cord is so heavy gravity eventually dislodges it.
When I use the USB cord it can't keep the battery charged for the day.
Every night I recharge the battery with it turned off.
I do new truck "drive away" and remove the unit after every trip.
Please tell me Rand McNally is working on a power connection that won't wear out.
I love the RM GPS but after 5 with the same power supply connection problem I fear I'll be forced to look elsewhere. -

I have been looking at garmin and their latest unit is 3 years old and will probably be obsolete in a year or 2 ....
I am sticking with my 720 and supplementing it with google maps until the 740 has been around long enough to deal with all it's bugs. -

I have two TND tablets that have lost all the mileage records. Anybody know a way to find them?
