So I found that the map scrolls very poorly when I enable the rear camera feed while driving forward, but the map does update often enough for me to see where I am at, and usually on highway trips I am not turning often anyway. The bottom line is that when you watch a movie you shouldn't plan on using the map, and vice versa, but with my toggle switch panel I can flip it back into the factory mode briefly to update the map and get directions if needed, then flip back to the movie. I hope to make this a moot issue by enabling the second video input but I am not done with that project yet, and I really don't need it since the existing setup works very well for me.

Thank you for the explanation. I actually found out that I need to start the route again if I missed the turn.
