TomTom navigation tebooting

Thanks Dark. I actually found that Performance pages thread a few hours ago and started reading all i needed to know.
Wish there was a way to just switch off its ability to receive.
Its beyond me how Ram can force OTA updates on us. Just look at the mess they make of it !
We should be notified that they are available and be given the choice to go ahead or not !
Ive always waited for early adopters to report back with things like Microsoft and Iphone updates. Why should this be any different ?

Your last question is a very valid point...
It shouldn't be.
I was reading the other day some Ford E-Mach owners were getting their cars bricked by forced updates required the cars be towed to the dealership instead of letting you disable updates, or revert firmware yourself (or a safe mode boot to previous firmware to "limp" to the stealership).

Mine has rebooted probably 3 times in the 6 months I've owned the truck. This is a lot considering I only use GPS a tiny fraction of the time I've driven the truck.

Every time it reboots, I have to pull over and restart the truck before I can reenter the navigation.

Last time it occurred may have been induced by little green men trying to mis-direct me into the desert so they could abduct me since I was in the vicinity of Roswell NM.

Mine has only rebooted once in the 16k miles I have on it.

What firmware version are you on? There are a handful of buggy releases and OTA updates don't work for a lot of people for the better or worse.
