Ok. My post was explaining that with TFT the navigator becomes redundant as all the information is on the TFT. So as you said you "used it a lot" , I asked what exactly did you use it for when navigating?
The auto zoom worked great for me. So never needed to manually zoom in or out. So very very rarely did I switch over from TFT. So I dont miss the selection wheel with the XT.
I've had this ghosting issue for several months now and as the unit is well out of warranty i have no choice but to muddle on with it.
I've found this on another gs site and tried it on a run out today. The workaround seems to work and the only downside is not being able to use the jog wheel.

Given the rise of ‘connected’ phone and car design, where the phone can sit in the owners’ pocket, glove box, boot or centre console, the entire view being displayed on a screen built into the car’s dashboard.
When I used my phone in my car (pre sat nav days) I always had it in portrait.
And when I got my GS1200 I used a cheap cradle to replace the Nav 6 but I was disappointed that it would only go landscape.
What I would have liked was a choice of both modes on the new connect cradle but it seems it’s not possible.
So much so that I’d probably rather just do away with the cradle altogether and put a quadlock on. But that doesn’t let me use the wheel.
I can’t be the only one that prefers to navigate in portrait mode?
This is already happening with bikes, Honda Africa twin has info from your phone displayed through Apple play, Ducati and KTM also have similar systems. For everyday use the dedicated satnav is dying. There will always be a place for it in specialist areas though. I'm considering getting something like a etrex for off road plotting.
