Any problems with lag on TomTom x30 or x40

[Colin64]

Hello all

I would like to ask the owners of x30 and x40 units if they have experienced any sort of lag with there units i.e in built up areas the unit stalls,looses sat input for 10-30 secs by which time you are 1/4 to 1/2 mile past your junction and recalculation takes place,you u turn to correct road and if a number of lane changes and turns occur it stalls again or is so far behind you need to u turn to get back on correct route . The norm i would say is 5-10m out without loosing sat signal.http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=67791
I have a Garmin 760 which is not recieving sat signals as good as it should causing symptoms above.

Any problems along those lines with TomTom as i am thinking of ditching Garmin for a TomTom x30 or x40.

I hope this makes sense.

Any help or advice gratefully recieved

Colin

In a word - No.

I have used TomTom devices for a couple of years, and now have a 540. I have never experienced the sort of lag you talked about.

Apart from in places where there is no direct line of site to satellite signals such as tunnels, the only problem I have experienced is in one area of tall buildings, and that is down from Tower Hill, along Lower Thames Street, London.

The area is surrounded by tall buildings, close together and satellite signal must be refelected or restricted, as it appears to put your location about 100 yards to north , but that is the only area I have ever experienced it. As I know about it, and it is only for about 400 yards I can live with that, and that is hardly TomToms fault. There is no time lag that I have found

I had a Garmin once to test some software and had similar experiences as you. It turned out it was because of an over-large POI file.

Not saying that's your problem, but it might be relevant.
