Rand McNally 730 Issues. Help

This is a good reason for trip planning so if you do loose signal you still know were your going and what your routing is.

Doing it old school.

DAMN YOU PUTIN!

My 730 has been working all day. I am in Texas. They don't put up with that $#!+ in TEXAS!!

I say throw it in the gutter and go buy another!

Have you tried the reset button? Little small button, I think on the back, use a pen point or something small to push it and it will reset. Has fixed mine a few times.

I believe Rainy trip plans. It is very nice to use the POI function on the RM. Truck Stops, Rest Areas, Walmarts, etc. I use those functions on mine all of the time. Remaining miles and ETA are also a HUGE help. I would like to change my 1st sentence. I KNOW Rainy trip plans! Geez, cut her some slack on the "You should trip plan crap"

Rick last I checked all 27 satellites were property of the u.s government, no other county had gps satellites up, last I checked.

There are actually 32 satellites in the GPS constellation. As of today (7 Feb 17), all 32 were in operation, except for 3 that were down for short periods of time for scheduled maintenance. http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/gpscurr.html

In addition, the Russians have a similar system called Glonass. Most newer smartphones, as well as stand alone GPS devices have Glonass chips in them, improving the overall user accuracy.

T-Man I was not saying rainy dose not trip plan at all. It was just a general statement to the new drivers about the importance of trip planning. Good info on the satellites I did not know about the Russian set up.

Another thing you can do is take your GPS to the Rand-McNally booth at any of the truck shows and turn it in. They will give you a brand spanking new one, complete with all the latest updates, no questions asked. Heard about this a couple weeks ago on "The Dave Nemo Show" on Sirius XM Channel 146, Road Dog Trucking Channel.

Yes thanks. I've only had it a couple.months....and this is the first goofy thing it's done.

Tractor Man...my hero. Thanks for defending me, but I don't think the comment was meant to insult me lol

Its like you said...I know where the best stops.are I just love keeping track of my distance and knowing my ETA...I can do that on QC too...but the range on RM goes much further than the navgo.

First thing I thought was the Russians wanted to stop Trump from tweeting lol
