I compared it with lots of other navis (rather simple to have it ever with you, my GPS module in a pocket and the 770 in another one...) and every time the main defect of the system is the tremendous slow start-time. It needs lots of time, probably due to the limited memory of the 770 to 'assets' itself, and after some minutes of using it become a perfect instrument to walk somewhere. After this kind of boot-up, it have proved the best for clarity and precision of information (sometimes a little too late, when you are also slightly too much fast) and speed of recalculation of routes. As far as i remember, if you disable the auto-update feature (or something similar, I have the Italian localization, i.e. the feature that adapts the map to the speed you are travelling) and set the map with north up (there is an item in the main menu), it doesn't change visualization anymore. I personally prefer to have the driving direction up while - err... - driving, and the north up while walking. Did you try to disable that adapt-to-speed feature? It could also be a difference between versions, I thought to transfer Navicore from my 770 to my N800, but the two gadgets are being used with different use-cases, so I definitely delegate the GPS task to the 770 thanx to his hard-cover Cheers, Michele
