Abstract LetE be a real Banach space andL(E) the family of all nonempty compact starshaped subsets ofE. Under the Hausdorff distance,L(E) is a complete metric space. The elements of the complement of a first Baire category subset ofL(E) are called typical elements ofL(E). ForX∈L(E) we denote byπ χ the metrical projection ontoX, i.e. the mapping which associates to eacha∈E the set of all points inX closest toa. In this note we prove that, ifE is strictly convex and separable with dimE≥2, then for a typicalX∈L(E) the mapπ χ is not single valued at a dense set of points. Moreover, we show that a typical element ofL(E) has kernel consisting of one point and set of directions dense in the unit sphere ofE.
