RVND Map Updates going away

 

I contacted Rand McNally Support because my RVND 7720 had not been updated in a couple of years and the welcome screen reported that my maps were over a year old.

The response was got from Rand McNally support was not clear about "up to date". Does anyone know when the last map and what version number it was? Was "up to date" as of a year ago or recently? My map version is: Version: 4.5.3790.1609.118274 (5806)

That's Disappointing

That news must be a big disappointment. I suppose the next best step would be a Garmin GPS as updates seem to be available for most models. Storage room seems to be the biggest problem for older Garmin models as the new map updates become increasingly larger.

Rand McNally apparently out of the RV GPS business

I just went to the Garman site to see what replaced the RVND 7720. They list only two "discontinued" models.

Looks like Garmin 785 maybe the only similar option and it does not have a port for my side camera that works with the RVND 7720.

I keep a 32GB memory card in

I keep a 32GB memory card in my Garmin 785, but it is not an RV GPS and has a 4in screen. My RVND 7720 has a 7 in screen as does the current Garmin 785.

Garmin RV models

Did you look at the Garmin RV 890 (8")? I think it has a camera attachment option.
