Once entered you can find alternate routes and so on and the system works fine then. My last problem is that the display can't be turned off as far as I know. That's not awesome at night, I'd love for the night time mode to just turn off the screen as an option after 30 seconds, or via a soft button. Easy enough to have it reactivate at the touch of the screen or when a phone call comes in, a hard button is touched, Nav directions come up, etc.. I don't need the screen lit all the time if I'm driving down the interstate for 300 miles though.
Is the OEM NAV that bad? In my Magellan it will automatically switch to the night mode (black background) once it is dark enough so that it makes driving easy enough. Are you saying the OEM unit keeps the yellow/green background even at night?
