    Anyone have a solution to doing a update using a mac laptop ?
    I went to Rand McNally and downloaded the software for Mac then when prompted to plug in my tablet my computer doesn't recognize it being plugged in.
    My computer charges the tablet but that's all I get...

    Plugging an Android Tablet into an Apple Mac?

    Yep. The part that threw me off was going to the Rand McNally website and downloading the android software made for a Mac computer then when the software asked to plug the android tablet into a Mac it didn’t recognize it.

    But yeah... it didn’t end well

    They sent me the program to transfer the addresses from my RM730 to my new RM740 and it too was some Android File Transfer Program... sound super easy to do... but I think I’ll wait until I’m on the Yard and use the Company’s PC... LOL

    A T80 does its updates across WiFi. Instructions here: Rand McNally | TND Tablet Map Update | Support

    What software did you download for Mac? The TND Dock?
