I've noticed that too. I think it has to do with the processing power behind the system. I don't think the processor is as sophisticated as those in the ATM's!! My opinion anyway!!

Alpine's Navi has always had a user interface feedback problem. The problem is often not that the Navi did not register your touch, but rather that it doesn't "beep" back soon enough.
Here's the problem, instead of doing:
It's a classic User Interface design mistake. I would never have done it that way, but there ya have it!

Also of note is that on the Acura navi touch screen, the touch areas are actually laid out in a grid-like pattern. IOW--there are only certain points/areas on the screen that actually register when touched. You can see for yourself--just access the hidden config menu, then select the option that displays the touch test screen pattern (I forget the exact name but you should be able to find it). You'll see rows of small squares--these are the actual areas that when touched will send a signal.

Processing power? Perhaps, try this and tell me what you think.
Pretend that you are trying to find a location by name. Use the keyboard and keep typing letters, the system will unhighlight invalid letters as you continue typing. Doesn't it hesitate a bit as it looks up all possible choices and eliminates some letters? Keep typing, when you get down to no more or very few letter options, do this: press and hold an invalid letter, then run your finger left and right and left and right, back and forth quickly while continuing to hold down. It's an infra-red touch screen so you don't need to press down, just touch "over". You get the reject beepbeep at first; now quickly. Look how fast it is now...

Though I have yet to receive my TL-S with Navi (picking it up Monday! - can't wait!!!), when I was in college, I was a waiter in a restaurant where we had touch screens.
Tony is right; we learned to slide our fingers over the choices rather than "push" the screen. It's almost like flicking your finger at it. I'm sure that the Navi screen is very similar. After some practice, were able to put in dinner orders for tables of eight in seconds, while some of the new people would take minutes "pushing" away for a drink order.
