|
hi to all
can anyone help
i have a mio 168 loaded with tomtom 5 prog works fine until i start to display poi's this has an effect of slowing down the map refresh rate
e.g with no poi displayed the map will run very smooth no jitter
with poi runing the map will start to jump from one point to anouther taking up to 3 sec's to refresh is there something i can do to cure this cause it's really getting on my nerves
ps runing with a sandisk extreme 3 1.0 gb sd card x133
the more poi safety cams selected the slower it run's
thank's in advance :D |

From what ive read this is systematic of a pda that needs more grunt (power). Upgrade the PDA?
Cheers

Do you have the POIs showing all the time? They can be very power hungry. If so try the Hide POIs option in the Change Preferences menu. You will still get any camera warnings that are set up under the warn when close to POIs, which is a seperate function. |

Note this is a bug in TT5. TT4 which TT5 is a direct development of did not have this problem. I used a Ipaq 1710 with TT4 and could display about a dozen POI files with over 12000 POIs (over 7000 in one file) with no visible slowing of performance. The upgrade to TT5 made the software unsuable if POIs were displayed. TT were notified of this when TT5 came out and like all my other bug reports, they have ignored it. |

didn't know this will give it a shot tomoz ,thought that if the poi was not ticked then it would not show up cause it's only because there are so many diferent "safety camera" ... poi's that i would have to select all of them to make them show
lets see how i get on on the m60 roadworks
cheers for all the replies |

nice bit of advice works a treat ,enabled poi's to warn when near then check off the hid poi's in the main tom tom menu does not show the poi's on the navi screen untill it is time to warn you then it will throw it up on the screen , by doing this it enables the screen refresh rate to increase to about 4-5 times a second
spot on
thank's to everyone for the info
