1005 Lost GPS

My 1005 is now failing to find a valid GPS signal, it was working fine until yesterday. If I reset the unit, it finds the GPS within seconds after rebooting. But when I turn off normally or remove the power and let it shut down on its own, when restarted, the unit cannot find a valid GPS signal. Anyone had this problem and know how to fix, or should I return the unit under warranty?

See here: http://discussions.tomtom.com/t5/TomTom-GO-800-1000-2000-Via/No-GPS-signal/td-p/187009. I think TT will soon release a fix for this.

Was this not related to the new software update for the TomTom?

Yes, for many people it was. But I've also seen people that had this problems without the update. Even people having done the update that did not have problems. However for the majority, the problems started after the 11.035 update.

Please post any further replies in the other topic (http://discussions.tomtom.com/t5/TomTom-GO-800-1000-2000-Via/No-GPS-signal/td-p/187009). That way, we keep things organized :smileyhappy:.
