Looks like I made fatal mistake buying the XL LIVE IQ - its deadly slow and nowhere near as user friendly as my trusty 520 ! Now Its stopped auto zooming in on junctions and I cant find how to reactivate this feaure. Any help much appreciated - thanks. Mike

Zooming on an XL LIVE IQ is a bit weird.
It should always be ON for the £D driving view and OFF for the 2D view, and there is no way to override it.

Does that explain what you're seeing?

If not, have you tried the usual things?

i.e. - in this order (trying it out in-between each)
1. Do a reset - hold the power button for 20 secs until you hear the drumroll
2. Delete the Mapsettings.cfg file from your map folder (You'll lose personal settings like favourites and Home location - so backup the MapSettings.cfg file to your PC first. The XL will re-boot and create a fresh one, but you can replace it with the old one again if it doesn't help.
3. Do a 'return to factory settings' - from the Preferences menu (much the same as #2 really, but worth doing #2 first)
3. Restore a back-up (hopefully you DID make a backup sometime in the past didn't you?)

Any or all of those may help the slowness too, but the main cause of that is having too many POIs set to show on the map and driving view.
Try turning them all off and see if that makes a big difference and then switch back on only the ones you REALLY need.

And going back to point #4 again. It's essential to keep backups of everything on the TomTom. Even if you have one already, it is a very good idea to make another one before you do any tinkering like this.. Use Windows Explorer or the Mac's Finder to copy and paste everything from the TomTom to a frsh folder on your computer. Just ask if you need more help with this. Don't use TomTom Home to make these backups.
