I am scared to say this - BUT I think I may finally have a 510 that WORKS !!! Story so far ... have returned 2 X 910's and 3 x 510's .... Comet DID refund the one day old TT 510 ... avoid this retailer.

Went to Tesco who now sell TT 10 series. Bought one last night. Set it up in the car park.

Unit mounted ok - green light ... unit reset itself (well documented problem on this forum) at least 7 times in ten minutes. GPS fix page was blank - black/yellow disc was static ... nothing !!!

Went back - good old Tesco had one final unit in stock exchanged for me .. so TT 510 number FIVE ... mounted ok .. phew ... green light ... phew ... drove car ... no connection problems ... phew .... GPS - spinning disc on GPS page ... indication of sats ... in about 5 minutes ... 4 bar reception ... phew ... maintained 4-5 bar - phew. Went home - updated software via HOME - for new phones etc. Switched on this morning - 2-5 secs ... 4 bar reception - yipee !!!!

Sooooo ... at the moment all the previous issues I have experienced have not been replicated in this unit .... I only hope things progress without problem now .....

So interesting things to note .... the later units have a different start up - list of languages whereas some of the other units I have had are already set to a language - usually NOT English !!!

The GPRS set up - seems to set up the phone on the current unit without the need to select phone, network provider etc.

Message to TT - God only knows what kind of Quality Control you have .... now I have a working unit .... I have not suddenly developed some stange ability to mount TT units, my car, location or anything else has canged so STOP telling me that I AM the problem .... YOUR units have problems GET ON and SORT IT OUT. I have wasted hours of my life - had untold problems with returning units and all the hassles of buying units - currently I have £700.00 off my bank account while I wait for the cost of two units to be refunded !!!

Did you make a note of the software version? My current tomtom 910 (second one, so not quite so bad), is version 6.020 - and when I got it, it did ask me for the language (the first machine I got just went Dutch on me...) but I can't remember the software version.
