Best thing I did was to disable the showing of POI's on the map.
Makes the map much smoother and I no longer have to wait at around 10 seconds for the map to rotate after I have made a turn. |

This is more of a hardware than a software issue. Theres a number of people on these boards that have this scrolling problem. On my XDAIIs its no problem at all. Do you close all your other applications down before you use Tomtom? |

yes disable your poi's ,you can use the camera database from this website and maybe 1 or 2 poi's made from the tt program
but you can't show any tt3 custom poi's

Disable POI
THEN TAP BROUSE MAP
THEN TAP OPTIONS
THEN TICK POINTS OF INTEREST
By doing this, you will have super smooth running plus still have the speed cameras showing, Yep it does work. :D

| It isn't a hardware issue because TT4, which was largely the same as TT5 as far as display and navigation is concerned did not lag on my hardware with 12000 POIs unhidden, whilst TT5 lags with 6! |

| I'm not sure that its a hardware issue as I got TT5 to work as well on a 16MB Clie as a 32 MB Palm. On both I had POIs turned off, no sound, basically as little as possible (no other apps on memory /running) , the position still always slightly lags behind. Its not GPS prob as I now have a 20 channel receiver. Maybe need to try it on a 64MB machine just to see if its any better. |

I found this nugget of info on another thread...

Use the POI settings and uncheck all of your imported POI categories (The ov2 files for f.i. speedcams)
Than go to the proximity warning settings (the POIwarner-like thingamajiggie) and mark those same categories for proximity warnings. I used a 400 meter threshold, use what you think is handy.
That's all. The speedcams will still show up when you go anywhere near them, but the map will scroll smoothly again.
The origin of this problem seems to be a different internal handling of the ov2 files by TT5 which causes all external POI's to be redrawn every time you move. |
One thing i would i would suggest is that:
A) do not uncheck all of your imported POI categories, as they will not be displayed in the map view. Instead click on the hide POI icon.
B) change the distance to around 600 yards so that it is on screen longer (it should appear at the top of the screen rather than appear mid way through it.)
Hope this helps.
