    does anyone out there use this? is it worth the $400? Of course this is something I am looking at to go along with the trusty ol' atlas.
    Thanks!

    I've found that the Ran Macnally's tend to have quite a few problems and often times just quit working. I was talking a few weeks back with one of the Love's managers and he said that they were constantly getting returns on them due to one problem or another. I've heard quite a few good things about the Cobra units.

    My trainer had one and he loved it. I played with it while training and it seemed pretty good.

    You understand that the 7710 is the RV model and is not set up for trucks. The 710 is the truck unit.

    Look under Electronic Connection for a couple of threads on the TND. Understand that these are support threads.

    I am not going to expand on issues if found with the TND in this thread. But, returns can be for many reasons, not simply a non-functioning device.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    I added an extra 7 in the model number, my bad. I was only trying to find out if the "truck" gps by Rand McNally was worth it.

    Thank you kindly for correcting my careless error by posting in the wrong thread. I thought this was a thread for questions from new people... I did not realize it was only for support. My apologies to you Mark, and everyone else out there. Feel free to remove my thread if you can, as I cannot seem to figure it out.

    I have the 510 its fine has its quirks but i think they all do. Not sure id pay the extra for the bigger screen and one extra feature thats your call. If i had to rank it outa 10 it would be a strong 8

    If you look under Electronic Connection you will find threads there in relationship to the TND. Under Electronic Connection the threads are support in nature.

    I monitor the threads in Electronic Connection. Posting here they might tend to get overlooked since the TND is more "highlighted" in the Electronic Support section.

    You are right to have concerns as this is a "big" ticket item.

    Thanks,
    Mark
