Thread: TomTom QuickGPSfix Update Tool

@botus,

I think if you want to get better answers then you need to ask this info over at the TomTom Fourm or send an email to the support team at TomTom.

Been using TomTom Units for a long time and have never ran into any problems with using QuickGPSfix.
There are times both TomTom and Garmin take a while to get a good GPS fix while setting off in my car.
But they always lock on with in a minute or so.
They same hold true for smartphones.
Any tool that helps is better than nothing.
The same with using GPS Status Pro on my smartphone.

There are many reasons why it might take a bit for a GPS fix.
GPS Satellites are always moving back and forth for one reason or another.
Plus ground control moves them to a void things running into to them in space.

But the bottom line here is they always get you you from Point A to Point B.
Be it what ever type of GPS unit or smartphone app you use.


Your quote:

"so what happens if I install the fix but don't use the device for a while and when I do I wasn't able or can't get the new fix file, surely its worse than never having it.... as its continuously informing the device to look in exactly the wrong places (so know wonder it struggles)?"

Never ran into that problem at all I would say the same for most user's.
But there is always exceptions to every rule for one reason or another.


Have a good day and do not get losted with the wrong GPS data.........now.
