Hi,

Just got a TomTom Start and I cannot get it to stick to the screen.
I've cleaned the screen, removed the film from the sucker and cleaned it but it will not stick at all.

Is this a known issue with this mount?
It's one of these where to have to turn a disk half a turn to get it to sick.

Try a bit of spit on the plastic and make sure the dial is completely turned clockwise.

I tried that too, still won't grip, yet my OLD GO300 mount sticks first time every time.

Will it stick to anything eg window, side of fridge? If not it is faulty, allowing air in some how?

Yes, the twist-lock ones are generally considered much better than the old Go300 one, so if you can get that to stick well in the same place, I think there must be something wrong with the new one.

Cheers guys, looks like i'm going to Halfords tomorrow then.

One more thing, I want to install your database on this machine but it has the totmtom database at the moment.

1. Which files do I delete to remove the tomtotm database?
2. Is the procedure to install yours the same as for my 300?

I would suggest that when you go to Halfords you ask if it's possible to exchange your model with a better one.

You should know that Tomtom Start doesn't allow to set any warning for additional POIs so the PGPSW database is nearly useless.

There is a workaround

but it would be better if you can get a more decent model
