I’m still a very happy Shotgun owner/user after 4 months.

Picked up the 740 this week at a local [deleted]. When in direct sun, the unit was tough to see, could benefit from some type of shade, but this was true of my Garmin 680 as well. Haven’t fiddled with the screen brightness settings, since the problem was only when in direct sun from the side or rear. So far I’ve been impressed with the GPS, just wish it had a USB port in lieu of the connection/charging dock. The new style window mounting device seems to work OK. I’m getting an Arkon dash mount for it today.

Tim if your maps are up to date you can get quarterly map updates with TT for $40 a year or $3.33 a month averaged out.

Has there been any discussion of the screen brightness of the 740? My 920 is so dim it is impossible to see on a bright day. It is much dimmer than my Garmin and Navigon.
