Does anyone have any idea if / when the now software revision / quick fix facility will be available for the 300/500/700 series?
It sounds a very useful upgrade.

Get the same ‘QuickGPSfix’ data by simply connecting to any TomTom PLUS service, using a wireless data connection (GO 910 and 510 only). |

Thanks for pointing that out, BGF! Didn't notice that before. I'll have to check if it seems to work on the ONE or not. |
Last night on the ONE I tried connecting to the weather service. This morning it still took about 50 seconds to get a fix, so I guess for the ONE it seems you have to connect to the USB. Not a big deal, but silly nonetheless. |

There is not one on mine and it still seems to be working okay.
Although, not that I have noticed much difference in the quickness from first switch on.
But then again it was always pretty reasonable to begin with where I live.

On my ONE v1 App v6.560 there is a greyed out option 'Disable Auto QuickGpsFix' under TomTom Plus services on the Main Menu (Page 3 of 5 on mine), then go to the second screen and click on 'Download more'. After it has connected to the TomTom server over gprs I get a screen that shows 'Disable Auto QuickGpsFix' and 'Download Colour Scemes'.
Download Colour Scemes works but Disable Auto QuickGpsFix is greyed out and not selectable.
I haven't noticed any difference on start-up either.

Mine was really fast at first, but lately it's been 30-40 seconds even after updating the data. |

Glad I'm not alone then !
Mine now seems less sensitive and I cannot get a fix in places I used to. Outside or very near a window is fine.

Further Info on my GPSFix problem:
Originally, after the latest software installed (6.560), my unit took over a minute to get a fix.
Last weekend, after connecting my TomTom One v1 to TTHome I got the popup to download the GPSFix 'data'.
After this data has been downloaded my TT1 is now performing the GPSFix as I think it is supposed to.
I can only assume that in my case, when the upgraded software was installed it did not download the satellite data at that time but waited for a later connection ?

| I read over at yournav.com that the previous update was screwy and didn't improve fix times. The latest update is fast again. I usually have a satellite lock by the time it's finished starting up. |
