 |
|
Hi Guys
I have just bought this unit with TomTom 5 from globalpositioningsystems. They said that if the battery runs flat the unit un-installs all software & it is very difficult to get it back on!! 
What are your experiences with this?
Any tips to prevent this from happening, apart from keeping it charged obviously!
Just a but concerned as i'm sure we all forget to plug it in sometimes!!!! 
Thanks in advance

There must be some sort of backup, I use Sprite for my Mio168, maybe that will work for you.

Zaxx, did you have TomTom installed?
No problems at all?
I have noticed that if you go into Settings>Power, there is a back up battery listed! |
