Problem moving around maps on the Nuvi 1490T

[Steve33344]

Hi All,

The above model is my first Sat Nav so this may be general issue with Sat Navs. When I try to navigate around the maps by pressing and dragging the touchscreen, it nearly always "bounces back" to where I was previously. I am finding it extremely hard to move around a map this way - sometimes pressing for longer on the screen stabilises it a bit, but even then it often pings back! It's really fustrating! I have a touchscreen phone and although both have taken a little getting used to I really don't have that problem with the phone.

Can anyone advise if this is something that I should expect?

Thanks
Steve

Yeah, I agree, but my phone is LG KP500 Cookie, hardly top of the range! It really is difficult to drag and then stop in a point on the map on the nÜvi........it seems to just ...ping back to where I was - do you find this ? Maybe there are some settings to do with the touchscreen sensitivity I can adjust - or maybe the software needs time to catch up? I estimate this would have to be more than10-20 seconds , though?

It's really annoying...

Steve, I have the 1390T and I find it a lot easier to use my fingernail rather than my finger to move the map. It seems to "stick" to my fingernail somehow.
