1.) Why does the street # not show up in the addresses, it just says the street names, and it seems like they don't stick when you plot out a destination. My home address for example shows my house at the begining of the road were in fact its at the end of our dead end street. I was able to. I was able to correct it just by selecting my position in the driveway and making a waypoint marker there. Now my Go Home button points to that instead of a numbered address. Anyone else have this issue?

2.) There seems to be noise in the LCD's picture. If you look real close you can see it. Also real easy to see on small text, anybody else notice this or can check for me? My guess its just a cheaper LCD screen as I know most handheld DVD players do this.


3.) The box shows an AV source screen, can't seem to find it.


4.) What is the best way to clean the screen off?


Thanks for any info, sorry for all the questions!

1. Could be any number of reasons, from poor cartography to built in security. Personally, I like the fact that it doesn't give you the exact location, that way if your car is stolen the thief can't go directly to your house (with HomeLink, they would be able to get in without breaking anything). Plus, if you can't find your house from the location it gets you to, you probably shouldn't be driving. :p

2. Haven't noticed that from a normal viewing distance, but I'll look at it today.

3. It must be enabled under the A/V Settings screen, then select it with the A/V hard button.

4. Same way you would clean any TFT screen, a non-abrasive cleaner and soft cloth.

Have you checked yet?

Nope, I totally forgot on my way to work, which I guess either means I have a bad memory, what you're describing isn't actually that big of a deal. Sure if you get one inch away you might see it, but when are you ever going to be that close in reality?

Well I just want to make sure it's normal and there is nothing wrong with my Z1

To get to this screen, when in any AV mode push the icon for it in the top left corner. It is actually a soft button that takes you to the AV source menu.
