I have a TT GO 520T.
I get a message in the bottom right hand corner of the screen saying "safety key enabled" could someone tell me what this is ?

I'm not 100% sure...

But I think there is an option under the 'Safety preferences' to lock the screen over a certain MPH ?

Is this what's being activated - otherwise i've no idea. Sorry.

Thanks JD' But no it's not that. That option allows you to Turn off the map display "Always, Above certain speeds & Never " I've set it to NEVER so I don't believe it's that. But now that you have pointed this out, what is the reason for this function? Many thanks for your interest. Regards,

Go to "Safety perferences" and de-select "Hide most menu options while driving" I think that is the control for the locking out the menu functions while moving - Mike

Do you use the home software? Is this some wierd thing you can invoke using home?

Also - Try using the reset pin under the unit? Might just be a software oddity?

Yes I do use the home software and I have been reading that it is not a good thing to do! but it do not make sense that It only happens me, I'll look in that direction.
If I were to stop for a second & let my brain catch up I would say that "I start to drive and after a few seconds this message appears Safety Lock Enabled and then I cannot access the screen functions"
