* In "Guidance mode" (the display mode that it switches to during the last 1000 ft before a turn), the bottom half of the map is totally blacked out.
* The 3D modes do not work. They look somewhat 3D, but the position is wrong - drifting off the road to one side or the other by hundreds of feet. I know this is not a GPS error because 2D mode looks fine.
* All the menu and option screens are crammed into the upper left 1/4 of the screen.
* Buttons and current speed indicator are too small.

Is anyone else having success running iGuidance in true VGA mode?

Iguidance installs 2 executables, one for VGA and one for QVGA. When you start the program, it determines whether to use VGA or not. I don't use True VGA, but if you start the IGVGA version it should look OK. Then, simply delete the other executable and point the shortcut to that file.
