No gignal on tomtom one xl

Try updating the software. I had a similar problem with a TomTom One and that fixed it. You can download it from the TomTom website.

charge it up via the usb to computer cable for a few hours, then take it outside in clear view of the open sky and restart the unit and let it sit there up to 30 minutes.

if that fails, an update will probably cure the problem.

to find updates for your tomtom, download tomtom home Here if you dont have it already and follow the instructions after running tomtom home.

try downloading tom tom home to your computer and use your dock or cable to connect it to your computer, switch on your tomtom and allow it to connect to your computer and updates should automatically happen, this should fix it, good luck

If iIf you have an SD card in try removing that before you power up.

You may also want to try the hard reset.
Paper clip in the tiny hole by the card slot.

Push it in firmly whilst the unit is powered up (not too hard) for about 3 seconds then release

You may have to power down and then up again and even hold down the power button a little longer the first time you do this.

Seeing a few start up issues around at the moment but am not sure if it is a tom-tom update issue or just the tom-tom itself.

If you do a hard reset you may have to set some of your preferences back too.

Dont forget to charge it for a few hours first before trying to use it !

Try updating with the latest GPSfix updating via the tomtom home software

try updating with the latest GPSfix updates via the tomtom home software

GPSfix updates are renewed weekly because the satelites are constantly moving

Think I have sorted the problem out. I read some of your readers' solutions and it was mentioned that it may be advisable to log onto the GPS update. So, I installed my disc which came with the pack and followed the instructions to download the GPS update (and also took the opportunity to download other updates which took some time). Anyway, used the sat nav this morning and so far, it appears to be working normally now and the signal comes on in seconds!

I suddenly lost the GPS signal today and could not get it back. All I got was the "No valid GPS signal". My solution was to tap on the GPS satellite bars when in the route map. this brought up the "Status summary page of the TOMTOM.

I then again tapped the satellite bar which brought up the "GPS Status" page. I then tapped the bar labeled "configure".

The radio button next to the option titled "Minutes (dm.m') was selected. I then moved the selection to "Degrees (d.d) and it started working.

I had just downloaded the GPS fix 5 days ago so it is not like this suddenly caused it to stop working.

This may not work for everyone but this is what it took to get mine working.

Cheers
