Suppport Thread for the TND 500, TND 700 or future Rand McNally products.

Although I was not the Bechtel you were thinking of, your diagnosis and suggestion was quite helpful to me. It seems to be working ok now with the power issue resolved. I gingerly bit the mini USB a bit to tighten it up and all seems to be well. Thanks again.

 

I also have one that is doing the same thing, and getting worse, they should fix it or tell me how. I sent a message to them on tell RM but have not heard back

 

Try creating a little strain relief on the charger cord. If the entire weight of the cord and charger are hanging off of the connector, youre going to have trouble with it.

 

What happened to your Garmin?

 

I will only say that a 710 is back up on my dash since this isn't the thread for Garmin's issues. PM me and I tell you my thoughts. Has a lot to do with Atlanta.

 

Any more info on the free map updates??

 

Mark,

Any way you can impress upon RM to make that traffic reciever available in the truckstops? I could order one direct but it would be months before I actually could retreive it from my mail.

 

why don't they make a soft or hard case for the 710...?

 

Good idea. Try taping part of the cord to the mounting stand-say around two inches back from the connection point to the device-allowing just a little slack between the connection point and the tape.
