I recently purchased a TomTom Go 40S. This is my first TomTom product. It constantly goes into some kind of sleep mode where TomTom Traffic Service Advertisements come on and don't stop until i touch the screen, These ads are extremely annoying, cause me to interrupt my driving by taking my hands of my steering wheel to reach to my windshield (where it is mounted) and press on the GPS screen. It is dangerous and causes me to take my eyes off the road also. Anyone know how do I turn off the advertisements? I looked on the device and there are not options to turn off ads.

I also tried emailing TomTom for help and nothing. Any help, any recommendations. I saw other complaints similar on other forums which gave instructions to try turning it off and plugging it in for two hours. I did that and still the same. The only way to get rid of the add's (but only for a few hours) is to reset the device, but that only works for a few hours.0
