I notice 2 time this weekend as I was making my dilevery that the turn right indication fail 2 times. One I almost smash another car cause he said turn right and I was already half the street. Am I driving too fast, is TT for slow drivers? I had 10 satelites on
 
It's more likely that mapping data is incorrect, and the road is not where TomTom thinks it is. TomTom's turn notifications can only be based on where it THINKS the road is. I know this doesn't really help, but if this is actually the case you can report the error via Map Share or via http://mapinsight.teleatlas.com.
 
Also, if you have it set to display a bunch of poi's on and near your route, it'll slow down the rendering of the map on screen.
 
That is what I was thinking, they are all checked, they are not really helpfull. I will disable all and watch what happen. Thanks

I read somewhere else that if you have more than three enabled, it will slow you down. After the newness wore off, I realized I was only looking at the POI symbols because they looked cool on the map, and for no other reason really. If I need to find a POI, I can always navigate to it without having to see the icon...
 
If you're really interested in determining if it's a mapping error, depending on what you find with POI displays, you can try approaching the intersection from the other direction. If it's mapping error, you should get the turn notification early when coming from the opposite direction.
 
Maybe also I can try screen saver: screen off, XL-S is just 266 mhz after all, the 920 is 400mhz.
