Delay with TomTom6 [Archive]

I'm using my Prophet with bluetooth Holox BT-441 unit and TomTom6. All is good, but there's a slight delay in showing my exact location. I've noticed that on roundabouts - I need to remeber which exit to take before I get onto roundabout. When I'm getting closer to the exit the unit still shows as if I was still approaching the roundabout - maybe it's having difficulties turning the screen round. Or maybe there's a delay in communicating with the gps unit...? Or maybe my Prophet is short on memory? I've got WisBar running together with few other applications.
All I know I didn't have these problems with my old Dell Axim X5 pda and TomTom5 with wired gps unit.

Has anyone got any ideas? Is this normal?
Thanks in advance.

I've read somewhere that's a problem from the gps unit. On mine i get some delay but not as much as you said(using tomtom 6 and a zapaa bluethooth).
What is really annoying is the jumpy tomtom which isn't very "flowlike". Igo on the other way runs smoothly but the delay is still there

In my s200 the problem had to do with the SD, I bought a faster new one and nowadays TT6 works properly.

I had that kind of problem with the sound... solved it with a faster sd... the jumping... kept there... and as i've read it's tomtom's problem
