Cursor motion

[Mercurial]

I recall finding information on here before about setting the cursor (direction indicator) so that it moved smoothly. I can't find anything about that now so I am hoping somebody out there will be able to help (and I won't get flamed for posting this!).

I've just got a new TomTom XL. However, it seems to me that the cursor moves rather jerkily. I came across the same problem with the previous device I had which was TomTom 5 on a PDA. Information posted on here enabled me to sort out the problem then so now I'm wondering if there's anything that can be done to rectify it on the new device.

Anybody able to help?

If you mean the car icon when you refer to 'cursor', it may be that you have too many poi categories showing on the map. Makes the screen refresh very slow and will cause a lag or jerkiness, as you describe.

Ususually, any more than about 4 or 5 categories is pushing the limit, in my opinion.

You can still have the POI files on the device but set them so they are not visible on the map, they will still be available to search through or navigate to, also consider using the "Warn When Near POI" option where required. Its the act of setting the POI as visible on the map that slows the map refresh rate down not having the POI files on the device.

Note the application rather stupidly IMHO sets custom POI files as visible when they are added, you need to go in to Change Preferences and turn the option off per POI category installed - Mike
