GPS reception
When you first start your TomTom XL navigation device, the device may need a few minu-
tes to determine your GPS position and show your current position on the map. In the
future, your position will be found much faster, usually within a few seconds.
To ensure good GPS reception, you should use your device outdoors. Large objects such
as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.
Troubleshooting
In rare cases, your TomTom XL navigation device may not start correctly or may stop res-
ponding to your taps.
