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

Map updates for the x20's came out last year. If you connect to the Dock it should show if you need a Map update or not. It goes by a file and the manifest so the Dock will know if your set of maps are needing updated.

Thanks,

Still trying to hammer this one out. I have not given up.

Thanks,

I have to order mine still... But any issues you find with it let me know... try to keep a log of them and Start a conversation with me so I can give you my E-Mail address.. I am interested to know the issues.

Thanks,
Mark

 

The x10 is well over 5 years on the market. It is like buying a Commodore 64 and expect it to keep up with today's computer needs.

Hardware is vastly getting faster and the processor in the x10 cannot handle the newer software. Sorry, but nobody can guess the future 5 years out. RM put out a product that was in tune with what was available at the time it was manufactured.

Thanks,

That is your choice.. but anywhere in the world in any type of product, the product will have a "life" that will be ended for support by any company that puts out a product. It is not your "lifetime", but the "lifetime" that the company deems that due to hardware/software that current software will not be able to be supported by the older hardware/software.

until the shorter of 1) the useful life of the specific Rand McNally device, or 2) such time as Rand McNally no longer receives updated content from its map supplier

Rand McNally Lifetime Maps

Thanks,

Enough.. you are not happy I can tell, but again, the Hardware will not support the new Maps nor the Software that it needs to display the maps. Processor is too slow.

A phone you got 5 years ago is old compared to what is available today..

Enough on this.

Thanks,
Mark
