Is the 720 worth the extra money? i am on a tight budget but if the 720 is more user friendly or will suit a new driver i can come up with the extra money.
rand mcnally 520 or 720?

Aren't they the same thing but just a bigger screen? That being said, I like having the large screen of the 720 although I'm not saying its worth the extra money. Buy something you know you will use and enjoy for quite a while.

520 is fine...
720 is too big IMHO.Skydivedavec Thanks this. -
pretty sure they are the same thing only diff is the size.. 520 = 5 inch screen and 720 = 7 inch. i use the 720 because, well i'm old and it's easier to read. either way, please before you buy one promise me that you will still check your routes via a map book and that you understand that like any gps, it ain't always right.
Skydivedavec Thanks this. -
I don't even look at the screen often
just at mileage usually
I keep the volume up to anticipate turns near destination -
teqntexas and Skydivedavec Thank this.

I use the 520 on local routes and it has been fine

720 would also have the Calender and notepad, 520 does not.
Thanks,
Mark
