Rand McNally Support Thread. (Part 3)

Thanks Mark

 

@Mark Kling
Hey Mark, I dropped and busted the screen on my tnd tablet, I can use the lower half of it. I really need to get my fuel and mileage off it. Any hope?

 

Is there a way to replace the battery on the 730? Mine loses power if the cord gets pulled out from the socket even when the light is green.

 

I have a question regarding my and tablet I bought a year ago.
First the problem started with the magnetic mount charging. After a while it was not charging very good and sometimes completely would not charge. I stopped using the charging mount and plugged the cable into the GPS unit itself. After a while that too started having problems with charging. I didn't want to buy a new GPS cause of the price and me only having this one for only over a year. I loved the product but now am scared to buy another McNally.
I now use two cables one in the magnetic mount and another in the u it itself. Was working in holding a charge for a little and now it got messed up also. It shows the battery charging in the small icon on top of the display but it drains Soo quickly . Now I just turn it on for brief periods when I need it and turn it completely off to not drain the battery.
What is the issue with this and is there anything I can do.
Should I be scared to buy another McNally in the future.
Unless I get a good reason why this happened I'm leaning more on the caution side of things.

 

Mark -
any updates on the Traffic for the 740?? its been almost a year since i bought mine and still can't use the traffic on it. if i had know the traffic was never going to work i would have either kept my 730 or bought the OD 7

 

I have the Overdryve 8 Pro and it absolutely does not want to stay charged. If I run Sirius it will die in an hour. I have tried in multiple charging locations. Is this a known issue.
Also, the magmount broke within 3 weeks of purchase just from road vibration. I had to superglue it to the suction mount.

Very frustrated as my TND 8 tablet also would not keep power. Seems to be a recurring issue.

Thanks in advance.

Youtube review coming soon.
