1. Main Screen/Truck Tools/Truck Info - Truck ETA Adjustment - You can adjust.
2. Main Screen/Preferences/Route - Truck ETA Adjustment - You can adjust
It is two different spots (but tied together) due to when you are in Car mode Truck Tools/Truck Info is disabled.
If you set to Increase you are basically putting in a lower speed.
The first time you see the ETA it is based upon the posted speed limits, but as you start to drive it looks at your speed versus time/distance to adjust the ETA.
Most times running at 64 with ETA set to "OK", you will usually be within 15 min -30 min of what it shows for your ETA once you start rolling.
Thanks,

Taking this to customer support Mark. Not going to restate the issue over and over- looking foolish now.

1. If you do not have the green diamond - either disconnected or searching.
2. If yellow you have slow traffic ahead.
3. If red you have stopped traffic ahead.
You can go to main screen/preferences/general/traffic receiver status to see the:
1. status
2. signal strength
3. Last event
4. Provider
5. Station
6. Number of events
7. Name
8. Connection status.
To see #6, on the map screen press the traffic icon and you will see the traffic list.
Again, if you turn the 720 off and back on later and your traffic receiver does not show either searching or connected, simply unplug the traffic receiver from the power source and then plug back in. Allow several minutes for it to acquire the signal.
If you are in a searching mode:
1. Either no signal for the traffic receiver to acquire.
2. Move the antenna.
Best postion for the traffic receiver - run up the windshield and across.
Cities to see where they broadcast traffic -
http://www.navteq.com/ click on traffic.
The broadcasted signal depends on the towers. I live 70 miles from Charlotte, NC and I can see traffic all the way to Winston Salem.
I know about the power disconnect/reconnect issue and it has been noted. There is not much more I can do. To keep trying to go around from different angles is not going to resolve the issue. I know of a solution in the interm and even I have to do that from time to time in my office. In my car since i plug the power up all at once I have not had to do that.
If you leave your DC cord connected all the time you might also just unplug the DC plug and then replug back in.
Again, this issue is noted and the engineers are aware of this. Until they can come up with an solution or answer this is a quick solution to the issue.
My goal of this forum is to provide answers or solutions to issues/software/hardware. These answers are quick solutions to the issue to keep your running or try to resolve your issue. Since this issue is either software(OS)/hardware it is beyond the means of this thread. A interm solution has been mentioned and this interm solution does work.
Thanks,

New subject.
Are you aware that in the traffic incident/ flow list ( last box on the right while looking at that page) that when an interstate issue is listed, it gives the wrong direction? Comming south on I25 yesterday in Colorado it listed flow and incidents as being on I25 Eastbound- 25 runs north and south. Seen the same type of issue for I70 except as north or south bound. 70 runs east west.
