Dear Forum
can anyone tell me if the 910 or one XL or even the new 720 have an auto zoom feature which zooms in to the map/junction as the car slows down . I found that this was a very useful feature of my navman icn630 which i'm considering replacing as it's not as user friendly as the Tom Toms.
Regards
Geoff

All the TomTom devices do this, it drives some users nuts as you cannot set a manual zoom, the device reverts back to what it knows best in terms of area displayed, the auto zoom is by default with no way to switch it off, so I guess it does exactly what you want - Mike

I understand that the new x20 models have an option to disable auto-zoom.

Looks like you're right, Henry:

Can any of the few, the privileged few Wink , with a 720 say what is within the automatic zooming menu button. Is it limited to only on and off or can you set limits, or rate of change, or something else?

Cheers
Paul
