Does anyone have this problem with their TomTom or GPS System!

My Wises system never drops signal or needs charging and most importantly I don't have to hide it away each time I park the car.

I know a knob end who puts the GPS on to go between places he frequently travels between. Like home and the city.

I was the same. always printed out directions or tried to memorise things. But then I got a GPS and it was just so much easier to go places without having to stop somewhere and find out where to go. I often use it on open road trips I am more than familiar with, I find the speed display on the GPS is far more accurate than the vehicle's speedo and also has an over-speed warning too.

Makes perfect sense, how else will it reroute you around problems if it is turned off!

You guys must have no sense of direction! Are you sure you're not women!

I have complete faith in that Wises system too hrse.
There's not many ways into Aria! Although one could blink and miss it. And I also know where it is.

nope, been down that way a few times in the last year (as well as trips to Welly with various detours all over Waikato to pick up parts) & my Tomtoms never failed

ahh strange! We borrowed a friends one from TA and it never picked any signal up from there to Whangamata and back at all, then I went and brought one a week later - gawd knows why! it had signal all the time apart from TA area. who knows.

Maybe the GPS gets embarrassed because it can't pronounce the place names lol so it drops the signal.
