    They switched from a Microsoft based unit to android.

    No longer running the update app on their servers, no longer compiling the data in Microsoft code, so you're sol for updates

    Had the same gps, surprised yours lasted this long. I'd still be running mine if the screen/battery still worked. Better unit than the new ones.

    It means the software in your GPS now is the only software it will ever have. I used my RM 740 for 5 years, the last map update was about 1 year after it was new. It neevr updated the maps again. 90% of all updates I ever got were updates to the unused ELD software. RM does not support their GPS very well.

    It does freeze occasionally and goes blank but by pressing reset on the rear goes back into map mode

    I’m probably gonna go with a smaller unit 5 inch as there cheaper and easier to mount TND 550 looks nice and reviews are good
