tomtom signal in Coachbuilt (1 Viewer)

[Ridgeway]

Does anyone have any problems getting a signal with a GPS system with their coachbuilt ? I just wondered if the overhang got in the way as I am having difficulty in connecting to a satellite although it could very well be the GPS unit itself.

No problem here with several GPS units.

Which is a bit of a surprise.

We have never had that problem in either van we owned with an overcab....looks like it could be your TT.

To prove it just try the TT outside.

GPS & Tom Tom

Hi
Tom Tom have a software problem re their devices recognising a GPS signal. Their website have a download that solved my problem although some problems are apparently resolved by simply resetting the device.
Seemingly it all kicked off 1 April!!

Any chance your windscreen has a coating

Similar to Renault screens ( used to look like a blue sheen on the screen )

Had to put a receiver as supplied with my old sat nav (lidl supplied )
6-7 years back on the roof (magnetic)

if your tomtom has been turned off and you moved location.....usually 100 miles or so.....then it takes an age for it to find the signals.
it expects the satellites to be where they were when you turned it off.

another option is follow these instructions.

Hum..........

Just checked that and it seems to be the case for me here as well. Tried the device outside and still no joy, got out my trusty old TT Go910 and it worked no probe in the MH but the new one is still not picking anything up.

Looks like I need that download as well.

OK done that and it seems happy again

Looks like TT have had a busy week with pretty much all their range affected
