Been having problems with my Tom Tom start 60 where it seams to either cancel the programmed route or selects menus automatically as if you touching the right hand side of the screen. I have cleaned the screen with isopropyl alcohol which worked for a bit but it still occasionally does it. Is my units touch screen failing can it be recalibrated or something. |

not very technical but do you have a screen protector? if so try removing it.

Mine started playing up recently. It would select different screens at random, as if someone was pressing 'buttons'. I updated the maps etc (hadn't done it in over a year) and the problem seems to have gone. Try that or at the very least a proper reset, ie press and hold the power button until the unit powers down then restarts, complete with the TomTom logo and drums sound. |

No I haven't got a screen protector will try and get one. I have recently updated to the latest map and the GPs fix update so that's fine. Mine is flicking screen like you describe at random also seams to clear programmed route at random then asks if I want to recalculate the route again from my current location. Will try the hard reset tomorrow and see if that works thanks le bouch |

Mine also did this - its trick was to flick from the set destination to "home" in the middle of a trip. Afraid I didn't investigate it further as I was getting rid of the car and new one has built-in nav. The Tom-Tom is still sitting forlornly in my study. Afraid I can't offer a solution, but maybe it's a generic problem with this screen? Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

Do you think this issue could be caused by the unit constantly being exposed to extreme temperatures hot in summer and cold in winter as the unit wasn't designed to be built in to any dashboards. I think I might upgrade it to one of the later Garmin units maybe. |

One suggestion is that fitting the unit to the dashboard might cause stress on the frame, and with the screens being touch sensitive this might activate them in some way. I also wonder whether there might be a static electricity build-up problem, as the surround is plastic (and certainly collects static, if the amount of dust on mine is anything to go by).

Hey - nice install. A couple of questions: - On this Tomtom model can you flip the screen through settings? - Do you have access to the start/reboot switch when it's installed? Cheers |
