Do you have it in the 3D option that basically places the camera right behind the arrow so it looks as if you are viewing the road on the screen from the same angle you view the road from your car? That seems to be the best way to see any sort of elevation. I was just on the road testing the GPS and spotted a small dip in the road while driving when in this view.

On a side note, iGo really needs to fix the text to speech. It likes to call my street name Doctor instead of Drive lmfao.

Also the GPS signal strength bar on the map/nav screen does not seem to display correctly. It just was always showing full bars for me despite when going into the GPS viewer within the program being told in there that I only had a average signal.

Other than that this program flat out rocks.
