TomTom Shut Off While Driving?
Recently TomTom’s Blog, Club TomTom, offered a solution for some folks who are having issues with their TomTom units shutting off while driving. The problem goes back toa faeature that I happen to like in a GPS, the fact that the unit will shut off when it senses the power has shut off, like when you are shutting off the car. The issue is that when you might hit a bump in the road, a very brief power interruption occurs and the TomTom starts its shut down sequence, whoops.
Here’s the solution:
“A new application (version 6.11) has been made available. When this application is installed on your device, this issue is solved. We recommend that you always update to the latest application using TomTom HOME, so you always have the latest features and the best performance on your TomTom device.”

This is only an issue on certain units. For example, the TomTom 910 stays powered on when the car turns off (when plugged in via DC). This software change was implemented last year likely due to problems with the old windshield docks causing the unit to lose power when hitting a bump, for instance.
