Hi - I am not having a problem with my GPS, however I do have a question. Every so often, the GPS makes a MOO sound and shows a symbol in the left top side of the screen that looks kind of like an electrical tower. It also counts down to a specific location. It has done this in the middle of NYC, as well as country roads. Please please tell me what it is. It's driving me crazy!

That all depends on the sound and the symbol, I need specifics.

Hi Diane, from the symbol you described it sounds like you are not receiving the satellite signal to your sat nav! The weak satellite signal could be due to the location you are in and also within the vehicle, some vehicles reduce satellite signals and you have to fix an external aerial to improve the signal! Have you tried using it with the door/ window open to see if that helps the signal?

go into your setting and check that you have not set it so sound for things like going over the speed limit or places of safety. it should be in your safety alert settings or something like that

hit menu button on your remote, navigate to channel setup menu. on the sub-menu, set channel fix to your channel that you require. now when your tv powers up this will be the default channel. if this doesn't fix your issue then try cycling through video inputs tv/video button on your remote.

Your question was posted under the Nuvi 680 GPS, so I am assuming this is the model that you have.

On the main screen, you will see a green battery status indicator in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. The battery is divided into 4 parts. Each part represents 1/4 power. So if you have one green bar, that indicates that the battery has 1/4 of power left. If there are 3 bars, that indicates that there is 3/4 power left.

When the unit is charging, you will see a yellow lightning bolt appear over the green battery status icon.

When the lightning bolt is not there, this means the unit is running off of the battery.

When leaving the unit to charge, press and hold the power button until you see that the screen says Charging Battery. A few seconds later, the screen will go blank to save energy.

Pressing the screen again later will either say Charging Battery or Battery Charge Complete.

1. Press TOOLS (The spanner symbol on the bottom left of the screen that shows WHERE TO and VIEW MAP)
2. Press SETTINGS (The spanner symbol) or if your model doesn't have a SETTINGS icon press LOCALE (The blue symbol)
3. Press LANGUAGE (The lips symbol)

You will see a page with 3 items on it. VOICE, TEXT LANGUAGE and KEYBOARD
The voice symbol will have the speaker's name beside it. If the voice is in English it will show the name in English. If not press each icon in turn and change the voice to an English speaking voice.

This will leave only 2. Press each one in turn and change them to American English.

Your speeding when this happens i'll bet.

Your unit is set to moo when you speed

TomTom Home must have corrupted the TomTom's operating system. That is what that symbol means. Contact TomTom support and tell them what model you have and they will walk you through getting the correct version installed.
