    Are you saying that the actual road does not allow you to make a left turn or the TND is not allowing you to make a left turn?

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Have you tried to press the reset (on top) - you will need a paperclip.?

    You might also try to uninstall RM services in settings/apps and then try to download it again.

    If you do not see the download available, on main screen, click on right arrow, unused part of screen long press, configure, RM launcher - truck, bottom - press - check for new updates. The screen will not do anything, but it is checking.


    Thanks,
    Mark

    He has a Mac running BootCamp. I saw the Dock pop up in the Task Manager then drop off. I asked the Dock programmer and they suggest I check a path variable in his environment settings.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Yes that's exactly what mine was doing and it turned out to be a program that changed some file extensions and wouldn't let the dock launch. Can't remember the name of the program as it was a couple years ago, I did post about it but can't find the old post.

    I remember that and cannot remember the program... Think it started with a G.

    Thanks,

    This is frustrating- They don't believe this would happen under normal use... I'll call but what is the chance they'll do anything?

    Thanks for the tip, brother... Mark is looking into it for me.

    I'm running Win 7 Pro on a BootCamp partition with my MacBook. He is suspect... lol

    So I got that micro sd card that is class 10 sony & still every time I get near any type of metro area at all my 720 freezes up. This thing has basically become good for anything that is away from metro areas but once you get into Dallas, Atlanta, Macon, Savannah, B.R., Mobile, it freezes. Short of throwing it out the window while doing 70, any thoughts on this? I am just disgusted that I paid all that money for something that does not even work worth a penny after their map update.
