TT5 crashed by motorway services "Security System"

Greetings

Just returned from a trip to N.Yorkshire (home's in Cornwall):
Used TT5 for the first time, with a Dell Axim x5 & BT GPS:

All was hunky-dory 'til we reached Hopwood Park Services (M42 J2), where we parked overnight; TT crashed as we entered the carpark and subsequently kept crashing for the remainder of the journey, at random times, and did so for the next day or so:
Finally stopped swearing at the damn thing, thought things through & did a soft reset and all was well for the rest of the week.

On the way home, stopped at Hopwood Park for the night & it crashed again: Did a soft reset and left it off 'til we were on the road again and all was well for the rest of the trip.

Is there a known issue here, or was it just coincidence?

I don't know if the problem was with the BT or Sat, but it appeared to be a "radio" bug.

Hi Pete,

I would imagine that the problem is WIFI related. Do you have WIFI activated when you travel around, if so you could be picking up a signal at the services that is crashing the system.

The only way to test this would be to ensure it is off before your next visit to Hopwood Park.

If I gop there soon I will turn on WIFI and see what happens and post you a response. If you try it and it works please let me know.

With regards

Tom

It could also be related to a POI at that location. Are there any nearby?

Hi Tom
I'm not likely to be visiting Hopwood in the near future, but I'd be interested to hear your experiences if you do .... AFAIK I didn't have wifi on.

Diplo
Hopwood has a Filling Station POI, which would have been active on my screen: Another strange thing - If I try to "Find nearby POI" TT5 always crashes, even with no GPS connected.

I guess the first thing to try is to re-install TT5 completely; it seems Very unstable

Crashing on POI search is a known problem with warez versions.
