Update your TomTom software.

I did it yesterday and what a difference in performance.

No joke - I did the upgrade on the One I have and - get this - it
provides instant lock on satellites.

I'm absolutely serious - instant lock. As in full lock - ten
satellites.

I have no idea how they did it, but it boots faster and you get a full
lock on position instantly.

It's also tracking much better and before, it wasn't bad at all.

They changed something and it's really for the better.

As in WAY better.

Thanks. I'll check it out. The units we have are older ones .... mine's a
TomTom 300 and Mrs.E. has a TomTom 700. I don't know if those units are
included in the updated software.

Rarely use them anyway because I rarely go anywhere.

Same here. We finally got a 'Best Buy' store in this area and they had a
Tom Tom model on 'opening day special'. regular $450.00 sale price $200.00.
I struggled with the decision of fighting the crowds at this place across
the harbour...since they only had a limited number of units available. (50
or less).
Then I asked the burning question... how often would I use it? Took the
dog down to a local park instead.
note: at this time the province is thinking of banning cellphone while
driving.... all we need is a rash of accidents caused by inattentive
drivers fiddling with navigation devices and the same banning could be in
the future.

They banned cell phones while driving here in CT two years ago.

Know what?

Hasn't changed a freakin' thing.

Dumbasses.

The only reason they pass laws like that here is so locals can invent
"probable cause" to pull over and shake down, or chat up whoever they
choose.
