ok first hi

i have a n73 and just put tomtom 6 on it running it of the mem card

it all works well till i here a voice ie: turn left or a poi like speed cams then i get map lagging it freezes up till the voice finishes the jump on track i dont loose any gps signal at all so its not that, i think they call it map lagging, turn the voice of and it ok...

any one using a n73 found this have you sorted it out please help me

thanks spurry05

sorry if it been asked before i did try a search for it and did not find out.....

A known issue, I think everyone execpt 1 person in the world suffers from this 'lag' as the map catches up after a voice prompt. TomTom runs on the N73, but at only 200MHz processor, it can't run it smooth enough.

Best way to reduce it to make sure only TomTom is running, delete as many POI's as you don't need, and get the quickest/best mem card you can buy. But doing all this will still show a lag when the voice kicks in, the N73 just can't process everything at the same time.

(also the slower you go, the less the map has to catch up!!)
