TomTom navigator 5 losing location

[mfraser]

Hi,
I've got a PalmOne Lifedrive with TomTom Nav 5 and a PalmOne GPS receiver. Occasionally, whilst driving, something will lose my location and it'll think I'm on another road from the one I'm on or even in the middle of nowhere.

Is there anything I can do to stop this happening?

I find this usually happens when you get down to 3 sats or less. A classic is in the Teign Valley when driving almost parallel under some power lines, it loses me and I end up showing in the river. :P Can't do much about it.
