that jsut gets rid of the arrow.... If you want to correct the orientation of the arrow, which is the orientation of your car, there is a menu item, I beleive under settings, thats like "adjust vehicle position" or something like that.. it allows you to correct both the position and orientation of your present location on the map.. I believe its like a global offset to correct any calibration offsets that may exist...

I was on the fence regarding this for a while. I heard consistantly good things about the kenwood's navigation while hearing consistantly mediocre things about the nav in the pioneer. The SD ememory was another plus regarding the DVD swap. However... Reviewing how I planned to use such a device, here's was my criteria: 1) I have no steering controls for the radio, so having a physical dial for the volume (as in the D3) vs molded buttons or touchscreen was a plus. 2) I was planning on using the ipod 99% of the time vs the CD, so the DVD swapping became moot, while the numbero
