Now and then I use TomTom Navigator 7.910 program on my PPC with an external
receiver. I don't use it daily but I'll test it again asap wether it is
affected by the described problem.

Some years ago my GO300 needed a repair which was carried out by TomTom in
the UK - just go to Support on the TomTom Home site.
