Navigator V - slow?

I have purchased in March a navigator V gps to complement my R1200RT, but I am surprised by how much slower is compared to my previous gps units and in general well slower than the average for consumer electronics from this decade.
The most annoying thing is the delay using the text search function between pressing the virtual keyboard and the letter appearing in the search box, which at times can take up to 2 seconds or more. Is this normal or is my unit faulty?

If you got it from a BMW dealer take it back, show him and politely ask for another.

No, they're definitely not slow to process data. As has already been said, take it back to the dealer!

Same discussion. I'll not repeat myself but the keyword here is "compared to". If you've never had a different SatNav the Nav 5 will seem great. The fact is that compared to others with much faster processors etc. then it does seem slow.

Download the latest software update
If it still seems slow, return to dealer

My Nav V is a lot quicker than the 660 it replaced. But not a Sat Nav guru, so hasn't had any others

I spoke to my friendly dealer which advised to take it back for a replacement. Sorted.
I have to say that I am impressed by the service I have received by my BMW dealer, CW Motorcycles, despite being a recent customer.
