    Is there ever going to be a map update for the 720??? I haven't seen a update in over a year maybe 2!!! Unless something just came out in the last month. Its kinda ridiculous.

    PM sent.

    If they could remove it from the main screen and locate it under preference/general user section, that would be nice. For example- the ability to turn on/off the same way you can with the Screen Snapshop button option. Having the option to remove/add the WIFI tab from the screen would be nice... especially for those of us who don't need it.

    Thanks again Mark!

    Couple of hints...

    make sure to have at least an 8 gig class 10 micro sd chip ( i got a 16 gig class 10 )

    use the usb cable that came with your gps

    use high speed internet. Ie...dsl or cable...not wifi

    download map update first and install to your gps

    after map updates have been installed download the other updates...they will remove old files

    i followed this order and had no problems afterwards

    good luck

    It will be in the same area, but it is being modified as we speak.

    Thanks,

    one other note, make sure your SD Card drive letter is above the drive letter assigned to the TND. For example. TND = f, SD card should be G or higher.

    Start menu/computer/right click/drive management I believe. I am not in front of an Win 7 machine.

    Make sure the SD Card shows a Fat 32 format also.

    Thanks,
    Mark
