Navigation a little off

Does anyone with Nav have this problem?

I have a MCS R56 with Nav. I noticed that my little cursor on the map is a little off, I pass streets yet my nav screen says I haven't passed it. At first I didn't mind it, but now it is becoming annoying. The worst part is when I have the Nav set to take me somewhere and then it says "turn right at the next street" most of the time I am already on that street and I can't get to the correct lane. Sometimes if streets are close together I can't tell if its the street comming up or the street right after that. I don't know if im making sense, but hopefully someone can help.

Mine seems to be right on in Orlando, Florida. Perhaps problems with the map for your area or an adjustment on your system. Anyone know how to access a service menu on the new nav yet?

Three is sometimes an offset setting in GPS's, check the settings (don't have mine yet, can't help with where it might be....).

if you have it set to direct you somewhere and there is a quick turn following your first turn it will show the large arrow for the first turn and then a smaller arrow above it indicating an abrupt turn comming up

Mine has been accurate for the most part. The only problem I've encountered is when there are 2 roads side by side or an underpass with a highway directly overhead, the nav will have trouble figuring out which one you are actually on. The distance to the next turn is usually very helpful, as well as the directional arrows at the top.

I don't have a problem with it being late for turns. It usually gives me plenty of warning. Perhaps I'm not driving as fast as you are.

It is often a ways off with final destinations. Typically, it claims I've arrived one or two houses early. However, I've noticed Google Maps is not very accurate with exact locations of addresses, either.
