    Mentioned this a few posts ago. Dock should be available for updates soon. No new versions have been released yet.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Resolved via E-Mail. Cust had a 710 and the LTM are for models other than the 510/710.

    Note: The IntelliRoute® TND™ Map Update is currently not available for use with IntelliRoute® TND™ 510 or 710 or TripMaker® RVND™ 5510 or 7710

    Humm,, wondering if you got a corrupted file.

    You can delete Navi/user/user.ini by looking at the TND as an external drive. This will delete any settings you have, not affecting your address book or IFTA mileage. The file will rebuild.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    OK, I have a TND500 (I know, I know... Couldn't afford the 710)

    Anyways, It has been working brilliantly since I got it in December, however, I finished a trip from L.A. to Michigan on last Monday (one week ago), I drove home Tuesday morning, turned off the unit, exited my truck, and haven't touched the truck or the GPS until this morning...

    I get in the truck, turn on the GPS, try to build a multi-stop trip (which it did), then I went to "start trip", and I got nothing...

    All the prompts are there ("add another address?" "truck empty or loaded?", etc.), however, even after I go through all of that, the screen goes straight to the map...

    So I figured, it must be mad at the Multi-stop trip screen, and decided to try to do the trip one by one... THIS time, I put in the address, "start new route", etc... and THEN the "calculating" box comes up, and stays there... No directions at all...

    It still gets mad at me if I go over the speed limit (not that I do, I'm just saying), It still alerts me to speed limit changes (which I always heed), etc., it just doesn't give me any directions...

    I need help... How could the GPS work well, THEN take a crap after not being touched for 5 days??

    I've tried the reset button on the back; same thing... I even let the battery die on its own, then recharges it fully; same thing... I D/L the TND dock per RM tech support, who says there are updates for my unit, but when I connect it to my PC, the "update" button is greyed out...

    What to do?? I almost want to hurl this thing out of the window...

    I would try deleting the Navi/user/trip.db first. Connect the TND to the computer and look for it as an external drive.

    Thanks,
