Tomtom hangs!!

[marcog64]

Hi,

I have a problem with my HTC3600: tomtom 6.030 hangs
after about 30 minutes I use it. Have you ever had this
kind of problem? Can you suggest me any possible way
to solve it?
Thanks a lot for your answers.
Bye.

I found a similar probleme, link to added POI.:confused:
I deleted the POI's and after it come normal.:)

Thanks a lot for your replies. I have just loaded
ATIFIX and I will try if it works later. Then, if the problem
still exists, I will delete my italian POI.
If you have any further comment, please let me know.
Bye

I am sorry but the problem still exists.
Can this due to POI or maps?
Thanks for your precious answers.
Bye.

hey guy,

i had the same issue with hanging. then someone suggested to DISABLE all the POIs, and it's been working ever since.

give that a try. i suspect enabling all the POIs chew up the memory or something. i used to display all gas stations, safeway, post office..

let me know if this fixes your problem.

on the other hand, i have another problem. whenever i reboot my P3600, start up TomTom, it says 'No Map found'. the only work around seems to be remove the SD card, do a soft reset, then re-insert the SD card.

does anyone experience this? if so, is that a solution for it???

Hi,

do you mean DELETE or DISABLE all the POIs? I have just disabled
all the active POIs and disabled all the related alerts. I need a couple
of days to see what happens and let you know. Do I have to delete
all the POIs, too?
Thanks for your answers.
Bye.

disabling all your POIs should do the trick. you can do that, and test it by navigating to a destination and run the route demo. pick a destination that takes a good 10-15 min to run.

Thanks a lot, I have already tested it and it seems working
but I want to make other tests. Do you know why the POIs
could cause this behaviour? One of the reasons I bought Trinity
is that in Italy we have a lot of "autovelox" (devices that check
the speed of the cars on the roads) and I've got a couple of
POIs to avoid this. Do you know if these POIs can be uncorrect?
How to test them?
Regards.

I think the reason your Tom Tom 6 hangs is nothing to do with your Poi's, I have hundreds of Poi's showing with alarms I was using a 1gb card and my Tom Tom had many problems now that I have changed to a 2Gb card my Tom Tom has not frozen once. My son is using a 1Gb card and his TomTom is perfect. It is not down to the size of card rather than the quality.

[marcog64]

Do you suggest me to change the card? What brand
do you suggest?

I'm afraid it's a bit more complex than that, My 2gb card is the same as my 1gb card yet it never acts up. Both cards are Sandisk purchased from Pricestorm.

i suspect it may be memory issue. the more POIs you enable, the more memory it uses, thus it overflows?
you can always enable several POIs at a time to test it. it's tedious, but i don't see other options from anyone here.
