Could it be OK that TomTom startup is having a very hard time finding the satellites.
Often it takes over ½ hours, and often it loses the connection again.
It's a little nerve-wracking in the big cities!

Hi

Welcome to the site....

Have you tried a Soft/Drum roll restart on the device ??? This restarts the devices Operating System afreshCould it be OK that TomTom startup is having a very hard time finding the satellites.

RESETTING YOUR NAVIGATION DEVICE

Charge the device for at least 2Hrs….
(Preferably using something like a Smartphone Charger using the Tomtom USB lead)
OR have the device plugged into a power supply while the device is restarting
Press and hold the on/off button until you hear a drum-roll sound then release the on/off button.
You won’t lose anything; it’s just like rebooting your PC
I use a Soft/drum-roll start after any upgrade large or small.
It’s also useful to keep in mind for sorting out most minor niggles....
If possible, for the first Satellite fix, go outside with a clear view of the Sky
