Support Thread for the TND 500, TND 700 or future Rand McNally products. (part two)

Sorry, you meant that small, small tag. T7E

 

Yes, after you mentioned it in the first post

 

Nope, Get to the screen that says connect device and push "Yes". Button pushes, bounces but nothing happens, no other notes.

 

Howdy. First time in this area. I would like to first start out by saying I have been happy for many years with my RD 720 GPS. I had a few connector issues, a few software issues, but, all in all, I would buy another 720/730 because they have worked for me. I've had Bad routing issue, but, those were me setting up the unit incorrectly.

That being said, I purchase the TND 7" tablet. From the get go, it was broken. Software many corrupt files, touch screen was shot. I sent it back, about a month later, I got it back. New touch screen (worked wonderfully), but, still had the original corrupt files. I could not use the unit. RD graciously sent me a replacement unit quickly. Again, RD Technical department was very helpful and got me a replacement unit in under a week.

Here is the problem. I finally an getting to sit down and try to use the tablet to understand how it works. I've never owned an Android device. I am very computer literate so figuring it out wasn't a problem. I have come to find that I can not download any of the Google apps. I contacted RM and they said all the apps are on the Amazon apps site. Cool.. No problem. I went over to Amazon and low and behold, I can't find any of the apps I would use on the tablet that I would use for my business like Pilot, TA, Loves apps, CAT Scale Apps. Weather.com App, Trucker Path, Canadian Border Crossing Apps (Pars/Paps), and so on.

Without blowing a gasket, is this correct?? If so, why is this with the 7" and not with 8"??

 

Once I turn the power on RM logo pops then goes to loading screen and thats where it stays...I reset it that didn't work any suggestions on how to fix this problem or is it trash now...had unit over 2 years. Its tnd 80 tablet
