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

Does the 720 need to be connected to a wifi device to get traffic?

 

Yes or/and I think they sell a separate receiver that can take the place of WiFi. But I just tether it to my Galaxy S4 for WX and Traffic. Plus you have to buy the Traffic service the WX is free. Personally I don't see the benefit of Traffic driving local in my city. I have it turned on but I don't know what it does for me.

 

Here's what I did to label my dedicated 5-pin GPS USB cords. When you have a couple dozen assorted USB cords hanging around the bench they all get confusing. I used an Oil-Based Paint Marker thinking it'd last longer than a regular Sharpie felt tip marker.

 

Darn. Im OTR so it would be great. $400 plus? I drove a different truck today and there was a garmen in it. I think traffic was a one time fee, and No need to hook to anything or use up your data. Wish I did better research.

 

Well I did my research for about 6 months before I bought. I chose the 520 before I even knew this forum was available. This forum was like a super bonus. I bought my 520 about 2 months before the 530 came out. I wish I would have know the future about that.

 

The Walmart Store in Marshfield, MO #38.
Is in the wrong spot.
Had to double check the address, and it's right according to the one on the Receipt.
GPS seems to think it's South of the Highway but it's really North of 44.

Good thing I knew where I was going last night.
