Navigator 5 going "GooGoo GaaGaa"
Discussion
Does anyone else get this? Recently my TomTom Navigator just start to spin wildly and indicates that I am driving in a field or even in water! Does this for a while, telling me to turn onto the road i'm already on, then it start to make sense for a while and then it's off again. I have tried re-installing it and it worked for a while but now its back. The signal strength seems OK when this happens. Is it something to do with the satelites, the weather, my receiver or is my system going off the rails?
Something like this happened to mine once. I was sitting stationary at a red light, but TomTom insisted that I was doing between 20 and 30mph for a couple of minutes, I was getting futher and further into the fields nearby. Then a while later I noticed, according to TomTom, I was doing over 250mph in a 30 limit.
After a reboot of the PDA, have never seen it happen again, though the odd jump into a neighbouring field for a few seconds has been seen, probably down to a poor signal when keeping the GPS receiver in the glovebox.
