    That is a little misleading since GPS devices for the most part are one way receivers. I think they are describing phone gps and cell tower tracking of phones with InRix app. If the phone user allows permissions for that, InRix, uses the tracking of cell phones to come up with a traffic scheme and flow analysis along with what ever external traffic monitoring- cams, sensors, and user reports they can get. Now it is possible I suppose there will be two way communication with the 520(720) which will take data from the device and upload to InRix. Possible but not probable.

    I remember your TND... do you have set to allow freeways or prefer freeways?

    Thanks,

    New computer?

    If not it might be the USB port on the 710.

    Thanks,

    It might be the files on your Computer that the Dock stores there. It takes the files from the server and stores on your computer then pushes it to your TND. When it does a "repair" it looks at the local files on the C:\ to compare against.

    You can delete the local files on the C:\. I would have to tell you the location as they are in a hidden folder and both XP and Vista/WinX are different paths,

    Thanks,
    Mark

    5vdc/2 Amp is what you need to use. Most of them in the TS's are 5vdc/1 Amp. This will work, but not provide enough charging power to run the HD Screen and charge the battery at the same time....

    If you have an inverter you can run with the AC cord.

    Thanks,

    Since you are still in warranty, I would RMA it. Blinking red/green is a charging issue.

    Thanks,
