    Hopefully I can remember to look next time I go that way to see what it does say. Even if it does say to make the left turn onto 18, the window at top left that indicates the next turn, shows following the road bend to the right, which would indicate to remain on 138. I would think if in the route menu it is showing turning left onto 18 then the next turn window would show a left turn as well....??


    Edit: Also looking at the pic you put up makes me want to add this. I exit Pearlblossom highway off of Ca highway 14 instead of going to 138 ( shorter and you avoid 100 stoplights). 2,3,4 miles or so I then make a right turn onto 138. Your pic with route highlighted in blue says Antelope Highway, but I believe it should be Pearlblossom. I need to turn there onto Ca 18, is Ca 18 also called Antelope?

    Here is a problem I am starting to have with my 510. I plug in for nearest loves and I'm at sapp brothers on California ave. it showed turn right on California then left on redwood. Ok so far so good but here is where the problem is, when on redwood it takes me to I can't remember the street but it wants me to turn right on this street go down a block turn left go another block over 80 turn left again then drive straight into the loves. What gives, I can see where it is on the gps, and all I had to do which I did was drive over 80 and turn left into the loves. I have been noticing it's been trying to send me around the block instead of the fastest and easiest route which is to continue straight.

    yes I have it set up for the fastest route.....any idea happens all the time not just at the loves, about to buy a new GPS if this keeps up.

    Make sure you have LTM's. If not you can still purchase them via the RM store. You may be behind a few mapsets. This is what the next mapset shows.

    CA-138 = Antelope Hwy.
    CA-18 = Pearblossom Hwy

    Hello Mark, thought about sending you a pm but I'm not sure about that.. so here it is..

    510 . I've tried on windows XP and 7. the unit still routes and all however it cannot connect with RM dock

    720 its been loading a pale white screen blocking the use of touch screen for a few weeks now, using me 510 that dock cannot find, connected to dock last night with 720, did a d/r and update in that order. pale white screen is still there, it appears about 1 minute after its turned on, plugging into a usb power source turns on this 720 unit but not the 510 unit.. ??

    You gents at Rand better let Cali know then. I get on Pearblossom off of Hwy 14 at that point Hwy 18 is no where near there. No matter what the names are though and no matter what the directions say. The top left window that indicates the next turn or exit, it shows to follow the road to the right and the road does make a right bend at that spot. Anyone looking at the indicator and not knowing any different ( even if the route directions say differently who keeps those open all the time and would they even remember? ) will do so and might try to make a panic stop at the last minute to try to make that left turn.

    Anyway, I "told Rand". Fix it, don't fix it. /shrug

    Sounds like the 510 might have some pin issues on the USB connector... Pins 2,3,4 are the handshaking pins. Look at the pins and see if you see five gold tips.

    The 720, suggest you call RM support on this.

    Thanks,
    Mark

    See 7356, the map shows the right/left/right. This is on the next set of maps to be released.

    Thanks,
