Freezing (Really sorry if there is an FAQ I missed)

I have a 540 since it was released.

Past couple of journeys it's been freezing - the power button powers it down and back on again.

It's just really annoying, because I can be driving along and it will freeze and I could just drive straight past my exit without realising.

Luckily I haven't missed anything yet.

It seems really random, I can't see any pattern.

My 540 froze on the way home on the M1 tonight.

Funny you should mention that mine froze yesterday (Friday) morning turned it off then on again and worked fine.

Are you chaps just powering the device down or actually resetting it via the power button, you should hold the on/ off button down until the device re-boots with the drum roll - Mike

A few things I have noticed that cause the Go to freeze:

Bluetooth connection locks up, although this often causes it to reboot. This may be my phone causing the problems as it happens with other devices, but the Go cannot cope.

A corrupted POI file, when the POI comes in range, the device locks up.

When it gets a massive traffic download it appears to freeze for up to ten seconds whilst it processes the data but then starts working again.

I'm just putting it to sleep I think.

I haven't noticed any pattern whatsoever - I just know I panic like crap when I'm trying to restart it as the exit passes :D
