Map Jumping in Random Directions

When I move my finger across the screen to move the map on my Nuvi 1450, the map moves in the general direction of my finger, but makes random motions as I move. When I stop with my finger on the screen, the map oscillates in various directions. When I remove my stopped finger the map zooms off in a random direction so that what had been in the center of the screen is often now off screen. I sent the first 1450 back to the seller because of these symptoms and received a new replacement, which is now displaying the same behavior. I have reset the sensitivity of the screen, to no avail. What is causing this? Is this a known defect in this model? Is there a fix that I can perform?

    I have the same problem in nuvi 1410. When I want to move the map to look around, map wants move to a placemark or defined location automatically. As a result i lose the location i want to look. The same thing happens when i touch the zoom in/out buttons.
    Does any one have a solution for this problem? It really makes the unit hard to use.
