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

Obviously Mark. However it is physically connected and I lose the traffic icon. So not sure why you said what you said. If you're alluding to a problem when the hardware is connected but the traffic receiver and 720 arn't handshaking, then that consititues an issue.

In regard to what I wrote above Mark. I did not see this issue when this same traffic receiver was connected to the 510.

Are we even on the same page here?

I am assuming then that the rectangler box with the green area denotes a traffic module that is searching for a signal whereas a diamond (color doesn't matter) denotes a receiver in aqqusition of a good rds signal. No icon repersents a disconnected receiver? If that is correct, then the 720 and the traffic receiver are become into a disconnected state while still physically connected. It seems to me, that a good physical connection should result in the unit continuely eithor scanning for rds or in aqqusition of an rds signal and the screen icon should only disappear when the unit is physically disconnected from the receiver. Right or wrong on this assumption?

I am also having this same issue with the traffic receiver.

 

In the interests of civility, let me restate.

1. Traffic icon displays a green arrow- unit is in search mode
2. Traffic icon displays a diamond- unit is locked onto an rds signal. The color of the diamond denotes severity of traffic ahead of the unit

Okay fine- I understand that. I probably overstated that understanding in describing my issue.

The issue is, with all the hardware connected, the traffic icon just disappears after x amount of time and the unit displays disconnected or not powered for a status under the preferences. As asked in a previous post- yes this does occur after a power down of the 720. The quick fix however, has been to disconnect the power supply from the traffic module- reconnect while not letting the 720 power down.

My fault Mark if my previous postings wern't clear.

Will the 720 let you set your mph instead of calculating it via the speed limits? I have the farming dezl 560 and it won't do that otherwise a great unit but I'm tired of it bring hours off on my era because we run 62 everywhere
