Was anyone able to take care of Navigation issue, reported by many on this forum, I am talking about turn notification being 50-100ft late, making me miss have of the exits in unfamiliar areas.

have you used another gps to see if coverage in your area is satisfactory. my 545 and 650 have been spot on. using my streetpilot i have found areas where the error ranges up to 50 ft but mostly 25.

There is a reset method that you should try and see how you get on.

For some reason that secret screen does not come up for me. I tried with the engine on and off.
I'm not sure it will help, though. Maping part is accurate it's the turn or exit warning is wrong.

I was down south for a couple of weeks and this issue of late notifications of turns really had me all over the place. I missed turns, took wrong exits off roundabouts and generally was on edge the whole time as the sat nav was so slow.

If there is an update or fix I would also like to know.

Regards
