Mark, I just recently purchased the 720 based on the recommendation of a number of different sources. I do like a number of things about it, especially the fact that it shows mile markers and that they're accurate. That, to me , is big deal.
However... the search engine, particularly for addresses, is, IMO, mind bogglingly archaic. And that's about the nicest thing I can say about it. How can this be?? How can a tool that is so brilliant and useful in many ways have a such a TERRIBLE search engine? Why can't they bite the bullet ( like Apple did) and make use of Google's superior technology? Why not??
Now, excuse me, but I have to clean up the tufts of hair laying all over my truck.

I got my TND 510 and put it into service on 1 Oct.
I have found there are times that the address cannot be located by city and other times by zip code. But rarely can you not find it one way or the other.
I wished it had an option to log in the date and location with amount for fuel. Then the IFTA mileage by state report would be more meaningful to me. -
I had the same issue. I actually went here:

the live chat was available and talked with a guy and gave him my SN. He agreed that my device was supposed to have Lifetime maps and it wasn't registering that way. A supervisor was going to change the system and I should have it by morning.
This morning as I type this, it's downloading a new map for me. -
Thanks,

Never mind found it *:RM>User>fuel.dbMark Kling Thanks this. -
I have the TND 510 and it does have this feature. I think it was recently added by the last update. I've been using it for a few weeks now. The GPS will automatically fill in your current location, or you can manually type it in. Then the gallons, and price per gallon.Attached Files:
