Replying to: flenderm (Jul 22, 2008 7:22 am) I have not had a time yet to deal with this problem, but I think it is solvable if you go to the Navigation producers service house. I think they can re-program the unit BR Edgars

I also would like to know the manufacturer of the navigation system. This is the 4th GPS unit I've worked with and is by far the the poorest designed user interface. I'd like to know if there is any possibility of fixing the shortcomings. If we're sitting in our driveway and set a destination it says fine, drive 5, 10, 15 miles to where the selected course starts and guidance will begin. SAY WHAT??????? And after I'm on course and drive down another major road directly towards the destination it KEEPS saying to drive back many miles to where I left the selected course to get back on it. Only after maybe 20 miles or more it does a course recalculation. Way, way too long. There is the setting of HOME. Let me see,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, this is a GPS unit is it not? Fine then set HOME to where the cars currently sits. Reasonable request. After a month I finally gave up trying to set HOME in this manner. Did I miss something or was my expectation too reasonable? Also another highly irritating thing is if someone accidentally (or on purpose) touches the screen. It jumps to some conclusion that this must be a POI. NOT!!!! Please turn off this feature. Don't get me wrong, this is my 6th Mazda including the pocket rocket 93 RX-7 R. It doesn't get much better than 155 MPH with only the sound of the wind. But the user interface on this GPS unit leaves a lot to be desired. I am a little concerned about all the problems I read about, tires, noise, engine and stuff.

Replying to: maltb (Sep 10, 2008 5:17 pm) Then I found something about POI off. The next day I navigated (the screen, not the car) to the POI screen and finally saw it provide POI off. But it led me to believe that it was turning off a/that selected type of POI, not that stupid feature where if the screen is accidentally touched it jumps to the conclusion that you want to enter a POI. And now somehow I've made it worse. In the lower right corner of the screen there are now two permanent boxes, POI and Mem Pt. I don't know what I did but I can't get rid of them. I was testing the nav system this morning. Across the bottom of the screen a black bar popped up with the name of the current street. OK, it stayed there awhile and I noticed an 'x' on the rightr of the box. I touched it and the bar went away and up pops the screen saying do you want to enter this new POI. $%^#%^&*%^(%& So how do I get rid of the POI and Mem Pt boxes?

Replying to: allendb (Sep 11, 2008 9:59 am) I agree, the interface is pretty raw, but if you learn the commands and set a few key memory points, it's certainly workable. |
