I've seen the same thing with my vista. I have no problems with it while it's
in it's suction
mount on the windsheild (vertical position) but, if I lay it on the dash it
will do the same
thing. It appears to only effect it if the screen is in direct sunlight.
On another note... i've been having problems with my pointer & heading bouncing
ALL OVER THE
PLACE while caching. Anyone else experience this?
