350 lag time

 

Does anyone using a Nuvi have an explanation as to why there is a lag time in showing your current location on the map? In fact sometimes the vehicle icon doesnt move for 3 to 5 seconds, it acts like its froze up.

Doesn't happen to me, but I had it happen on my c530, that is when I returned it and got the nuvi.

I've seen this on my C510 and my Nüvi 310. I've only seen it in 'Map' mode - never when 'routing'. My pet theory, is that there's been a momentary loss of signal and it's unsure whereabouts you are. When you're routing, it can extrapolate - and work out where you should be.

I saw this yesterday (on the Nüvi). I was chugging along a canal (at 2.8mph!) and the Nüvi had 'snapped' my location onto a nearby road. I think I reached a point, where it knew I couldn't possibly be on that road and it was trying to make some sense of the situation.

The canal is only 250 years old and so isn't on the Navteq map wink
