No GPS signal

Today we have no GPS signal anymore. I try to download an update, to set the TomTom back to fabrics installations and I've tried to reset the TomTom, but nothing works. What is your suggestion? We hope we can fix it.

Re: No GPS signal

St.pid question, but is there maybe some strong Sun flare or something? It shouldn't cause trouble really in a coverage like this, but who knows.

Re: No GPS signal

I've had the same problems today in the UK. Still no GPS signal all the way home (200 miles)

Re: No GPS signal

@hulovav: Was it or was it not, yet a valid point. 3 different countries, most probably you all have different units on different software. What are the chances that it is due to TomTom (as the company)?

Re: No GPS signal

So get this ~ I was talking to the "Help Desk" tech support people - They said they are aware of the satelite problem and are working on it now.  I explained that I have 2 older model TomTom units and that they are working just fine.  So it would not be a satelite issue but a software issue on the new units.  He kept saying it was a satelite issue and not a software issue - Pretty much a crock!

 

I have rebooted my unit {Holding the off button down for about 20 sec. until it reboots} on my VIA model - Seems to work most of the time - Man I hate being lied to by those nerds!

Re: No GPS signal
