Mine messed up without any updates at all applied, I had a few POI enabled, that's all.

The cure is the updated software, might as well wait for it.

OK my little Satnav friend, just because I told everyone you were dyslexic, there was no need to turn of all the camera warnings!!!!
Just need "Chucky's voice and the nightmare will be complete.

I suddenly noticed that I wasn't getting any camera warnings. (Working perfectly yesterday) Had to go into "warn when near a POI" menu and re enable all the cameras.
Just when I thought everything was as it should be. Otherwise no crashes or reboots again today.

Hi Stiggy

Have you got the pocketgpsworld camera database files on your Tom Tom and/or the Tom Tom ones (can't remember if you mentioned this earlier in the thread.

I've removed the Tom Tom ones and any other additional POI's (Enjoy England) and apparently my partner has been driving around a fair bit today with no crashes (we're talking Tom Tom crashes not the vehicular ones Wink

). If you've got the pocketgps ones definitely working smoothly then I'll pay my subs and install them.

Keep going guys - yo are doing a grand job of finding the root cause, and hopefully TomTom will sort it.

In the meantime i've bought a One XL this afternoon - £159 delivered tomorrow - the extra screen size, the SD card and hopefully more stable software and extra memory will mean no hiccups !

What extra memory?? - check the devices side by side and you will find they both display 29MB RAM - Mike

I am just using the PocketGPS cameras. They are much better than the TT ones anyway. I have deleted the TT ones from my TT device.

Problem is most likely do to with the display driver. I've noticed a few things, first the backlight goes off but the display freezes (I could see the display in sunlight faintly). Second the GPS engine seems to continue regardless (I heard beeps for cameras).

After a while the display unfreezes and backlight comes back on.

For anyone thinking of heading towards other devices I did and regretted it... tried a Nuvi....but have returned to the TT V3 the interface is sooooo much better...Now all they gotta do is get it stable :-)

Hi all.

I am from Portugal and i too am having the lock up and reboot problems on my TOMTOM ONE Third Edition. (Europe)

It rebooted everyday almost on the same spot, so i assumed it was some kind of POI problem. (corrupted data)

Did a backup, and now im using the original POI database, still locks up and reboots, not at the same place, it just does it randomly..

I noticed if you dont plot a course in it, it wont reboot.. so it should be a memory management problem or something..

Dont know if i will return it or wait for some kind of fix.. one thing im sure is that it is pretty annoying..

One thing i noticed is that it even locks up if you spend some time browsing the map and zooming in and out without GPS signal..

I like the device, but this bug is very annoying indeed.

Hope TOMTOM will fix this soon..

Mine has locked up at the same place too, always when going onto a motorway.
