Models affected

 

Has anyone put together a list of reported affected models with the no signal (leap year bug)  problem, I have just ordered a Start 20 but I won't open the box if its not going to work, I will just return it for a refund.

 

I have used TomTom before on a PDA and found it much better than the built in Satnav in the vehicle I have just sold,

 

I was looking forward to using the new unit, but the latest situation does not look good.

Re: Models affected

As I have read the long "No GPS signal" thread during last 2 days I noticed that probably all current models of tomtom are affected. Mentioned models with problem include:

GO 10xx

GO 8xx

VIA 12x, 11x, 14xx, ...

Start 2x

Have NOT had a problem with my Start 20 which has been on (connected to my laptop) for the last 96 hours except when I went to my local town some 10 miles away where everything worked. :smileyhappy:

Please don't throw any bricks at me, but I do have a couple of theories as to what this is about and have been in contact with Ditte about it :smileywink:

Re: Models affected

My Via 1400 (which I bought on Saturday at Staples for $60 here in Canada) works fine.  It does detect the satellites and shows my position on the map.

Thanks for the replies guys, there does not seem to be a definative answer, the start 20 arrived today I will plug it into the computer tommorow and do the update if it does not work its going back.
