Thanks.
a faulty screen seems to be the most likely candidate.
I found them on e-bay as low as $28 delivered.
like i said before, there are a tom of these issues on the web.
this poor guy was told by tomtom technical support its a "software issue".
TomTom just cant give straight answer.
its all very frustrating.
So is a hardware issue (as told to tomvolvo) ?
in which case i would chance the $28 to solve th problem.
or a software issue, as posted here;
When the tom tom 730 is turned on and has a route set it keeps...
in which case, nothing can be done on my end, and im screwed with a faulty unit..
Thanks for your help DHN.
I just wish i could get a straight answer from TomTom.
and from the looks of it, so are countless others.
