    Any chance they are going to update the mile markers on I 69 in Indiana? RM still shows the old ones, which are not 200 off. For instance, mm 70 is now mm 270.

    ideas why a new ( less than one week old ) TND 720 will constantly hang up? As in freeze and fail to update at random times and for random lengths of time? I updated it before placing in use so it has all the current software. Being there is also a 760 in the truck that seldom has this problem, it has me wondering if I have a bad unit. Suggestions?

    Well it seems my TND 720 finally died. I tried unplugging and leaving it powered down for over 24 hours, tried to use both AC and DC adapters, and tried resetting. Unit will no longer power on. Since it is out of warrantee and I will not be home for several weeks, time to purchase another....

    I beg you, please fix the routing to Love's travel stop in Salt Lake City.

    My co driver has driven through the city 3 times to get to it while I'm sleeping. The GPS, as well as the driver, cannot seem to stick to hwy 80 and take exit 118.

    The GPS does not know that there's a traffic light right in front of the entrance. You get into the left pocket and viola.. You're in.

    The GPS wants to route you to the exit of the truck stop.

    That is being resolved in the next set of maps.

    Dash Cam? CB close? Where is it placed and around what other electronics?

    Thanks,

    Check the USB port on the 720 and see if all the pins are there. You should see 5 gold tips looking at you.

    Thanks,

    It has to do with your settings. Change to Prefer Freeways and see if that helps.
