    Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of the touch screen function on the 720? I am playing around with the different menus and settings and sometimes as I get into a deeper layer the touch selections (especially near the outer borders) won't respond. And even on the touch icons that do respond, it seems like I have to tap very hard and sometimes repeatedly. Thanks

    Did you try a screen alignment under the general tab?

    Thanks,

    I will only answer in regards to the Rand. I do not like to be biased and make statements about other navigation devices. Not good business ethics.

    Thanks,

    Couple of questions as I will be getting the tnd 720 as soon as I can find one along the routes I will be travelling and leaving my 700 at home for the wife to use.
    1-Will I need to run 2 separate docks or can you use 1 dock for both units and can you run 2 docks on the same computer in the same profile or need to create a separate profile for each dock.
    2-If you backup one unit then disconnect it and plug in the other and restore the user data only to the new unit will it load all the saved data to the new unit.
    3-I would also be interested in knowing how much data is consumed by using the weather feature as I would need to use roaming data on my cell phone which is quite expensive at $5.00 mgb but can get a data roaming addon for $10.00 a month which brings the price down to $1.00 mgb.
    BTW-The form u sent me is on its way, kinda lost it on my last trip but found it and mailed it out a couple days ago.

    Thanks
    John

    In regards to this... what price range would you be looking at? This is going to determine what model you would buy. Remember what you buy is a tax deduction as this is a tool for your job.

    If you could stretch it to the 720 this would be a good step since you have the weather feature and during heavy storms or snow this would help in your routing.

    Thanks,
