Hi guys, hope someone can help.

I have a Tom Tom GO 520 and have a strange issue. If the device is turned off (either by the button or by auto shutdown) it will not receive a GPS signal when turned back on. If I wait an hour or two and then turn it back on it will connect. If I use the reset button a couple of times it will connect.

Its a real pain if I stop at the services, come back to find the satnav has auto shut down and I can't get a GPS signal anymore.

Any idea what causes this?

Heres the details of my device:

DeviceName=TomTom GO 520
