I switch off and back on, and it carries on as normal.
I don't think it is necessary to do this, just tap the screen anywhere in the map view and tap on 'Navigate to' and it will "re-activate" the s ... |

I've had this happen 3 times in the month that I've owned my 540. Once, I didn't have a route planned.

Good old IQ routes! I don't have a x40, but I'd suspect the answer is to ask for Fastest Route, then Find Alternative and either Avoid or more likely Travel Via. Personally I might have been tempted t ... |

Had to go to Torrington for work yesterday. Left there at about 16:45 (as it was getting dark) to come home to Helston, Cornwall.
Anyone who knows North Devon will know that the roads are very twis ... |

A couple of years ago I got a 510 - suffered from a drooping mount, which TomTom eventually improved and replaced on request.
Just bought a 540, and the mount has a problem.
