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

Wow, that made a dramatic difference, thanks. Why does that work?

This may be a moot point now, but does the upper right part of the screen have something different about it's internal characteristics? I ask because many times during the 'align' process it would stall on the last reference point (upper right) and not continue - I would have to reboot the unit. But about 1/3 of the time it would recognize a touch on that last point and then finalize. Overall, everything seems to be working better now if I use my fingernail - thanks!

 

I really want to thank Mark for taking time out of his weekend to help me get my lifetime maps issue fixed...Turns out it was a problem I created but thanx to Mark it's fixed, updated and running like a champ!...That is some serious customer service!!!

 

That would make sense. My experiance with my weather apps, especially the two that " are designed for storm chasers" is that if one really wants to get a feel for the storm or system, zoom out- sometimes way out. Other wise you are just in the middle of a blob of color. Even so, I still wouldn't expect the data packet to be that much of a hit on the over all allotment. Watching weather systems march across the lower 48 in full animation hardly was noticed.

Mark, can you recommend a fine point stylus? I got a regular stylus at Best Buy, but it seems too soft and blobby (only marginally better than using a fingertip). Then I searched all over Amazon for something more precise and firm like a fingernail but nothing popped out. I see that Rand McNally uses a stylus for some of the other gps units, but I couldn't find it sold separately. Thanks for any tips.

 

any plans for a 520? read back a few pages and didnt see anything, sorry if covered

 

take that as a yes.

 

I have verified that the "Am I Close" feature does, indeed, only work when scaling is turned off (just an FYI).

Thanks for all you do!
