Tomtom ONE 140 -S Car GPS Receiver - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

It may be something stuck between the screen and the edge of the screen. When this happens with a foreign object, the screen cant sense anything because the debris is holding it down. Clean around the edge with a q-tip and window cleaner and maybe a toothpick and try again.

If your navigation device shows only the start-up image or you see a flashing cross (X) after you switch it on, it means that the TomTom application is not installed or cannot be found. You can solve this problem by resetting your tom tom. Ensure that your battery is charged, by plugging it for about 2 hours, then you press and hold the power on/off button for about 15 seconds, it will restart, once it restarts, it means it has been reset. But if it does the same, then you have to back your files on a computer, then you restore your device, by doing so, it will be able to load your maps and work perfectly fine.
Hope this information helps.

If you know where the backup is stored in your computer, right click on it and copy it. plug in the tomtom, then you can close the tomtom program when it autostarts on plugin, then go to my computer and right click and open the tomtom manually like a normal usb device. Find the same map file in the tomtom and right click and paste your copy of your backup. Make sure you copy the file on the tomtom to a folder somewhere first in case there's any kind of incompatability and you have to revert back to how it is now. Hope this helps

Even the new units don't come with CD'S anymore as everything is preloaded, But if you download tomtom home from the internet, then connect your unit too the computer it should automatically check for new updates, But you will not get free maps unless you first subscribe to free map updates, good luck.

Since you have just bought it, you are eligible for a new map (within 30 days of purchase). Please update the map as early as possible. Please follow the steps mentioned below:
Tom do not seem to overwrite the existing map file. So before trying to install the map, you need to delete the folder that contains the map. (It is important to read the next part before you delete the map folder). Once you have connected your TomTom to thecomputer, close the TomTom home window. Double click on my computer. You will see the TomTom hard drive as a drive (like you see the CD drive). Double click on that . Once the folders of the TomTom hard drive opens, look for a folder named USA_Canada_and_Mexico_P. (Please note: this name is for American continent. For others, this name will be different). Right click on it. click properties. Check whether the size of this folder is approximately around 1.3 GB to 1.5 GB. This is just to make sure we have the correct folder. After confirming this is the map folder, copy this folder to your computer for back up purpose. Once you have it safely in your computer, delete this folder from the TomTom hardrive. Go back to TomTom home software. Use the map guarantee to update/Upgrade the new map. You will see this time around the installation completes without a problem.

Make sure there is enough power. When the power gets low, it tends to conserve by limiting items that draw the most power.

Check if there is an option that allows the map screen to display longer.

You can set (or reset) your Time (& display format) using the "Menu". From your Driving screen (showing map of current location), tap on the (middle of the) screen, to show the Main Menu (on the next screen), Look for, and tap on "Change preferences". On the next screen, look for and tap "Set Unit". On the next screen, select (tap on TIME), and you can set (reset) the (display) format and time.

These 2 things can be done using the "Menu". (You can also adjust the Volume from the Driving Screen - tap bottom left area and slide the volume bar to adjust the volume). From your Driving screen (showing map of current location), tap on the (middle of the) screen, to show the Main Menu (on the next screen), Look for, and tap on "Change preferences". 1. To set Time: On the next screen, look for and tap "Set Unit". On the next screen, select (tap on TIME), and you can set (reset) the (display) format and time. 2. To set Volume: On the next screen, look for and tap "Volume preferences". You can then tap on the bar (position) and test/hear the level of the sound. And/or you can select "Link Volume to car Speed" ... and tap Done.

Usually, you connect your TomTom to your computer, and use the TomTom software (e.g. HOME) to update (e.g. buy, download and install) your map(s). If your question is about how to copy a (new / another) map on your computer to your TomTom device (i.e. without using the TomTom HOME software), you can simply copy the "map" folder (of the map on your computer) to your TomTom Device (that you've connected to your computer). You may have other questions like, is there enough memory on your TomTom device for the map ?; is the (new/other) map version compatible for the TomTom (model/version) device that you have ?; is the map "activated" to run on your TomTom device? etc.

It sounds like the TomTom isn't able to boot up. This may be due to a software or data issue. Have you tried to (use HOME on your computer to) connect to the TomTom server ? to update the software/data, and/or tried to restore the software / data with the (previously) backed-up copy (that you had previously saved on your computer) ?

depends what tom tom you have?

Go to the TomTom website to register your device www.tomtom.com

Because the battery has gone to battery heaven. Replace it!

yes ofcourse

Here's a link on where and how to do it

Yes, If your device cannot acquire a signal when mounted on the windscreen, this may be because your car has Heat Reflective Shielding on the glass. This can block GPS signals from reaching your device, to solve this you may need to purchase an additional aerial.

Hi Charge your device for at least 2 hours while turned off. If problem persists, you can have it returned if you have a warranty or get another one
