Thanks for the info. Your device has no dedicated reset button like some other Tom-Tom units, but it still can be reset.
To perform a reset, make sure that the unit has a fully charged battery. Charge for several hours if unsure - and make sure the charging light comes on (if it doesn't - it will probably need service) while connected.
Disconnect from charger.
Press the On/Off button to turn the unit on (if not already on) and allow it to start up as usual.
Press AND hold the On/Off button for up to 15 seconds or until the unit turns off.
The GPS should now be reset, and should work as expected when you next turn it on. Good luck!Ok Marilyn,

have you tried to restart your phone if
it still does not work suggest that You could try backing everything up
and doing a master reset, but back everything up first (its so important
I said it twice). to do master reset just dial *#7370# and accept.
after the master reset you can restore your files by restoring it from
the back up.
i hope it helps! =)
There is an rate option "Was this helpful?" Yes or No.
If you are helped you can rate ,that is your choice.
I don't think that would be legal unless something is type accepted by the FCC for the satellite frequencies that are involved. It probably wouldn't be a good idea if the public were to start "repeater" transmissions on the GPS satellite bands. They do that in Cellular ... and they even often have problems there with "repeater"s going into oscillation between the outside and inside antenna if installed incorrectly - which tears up cellular companies towers.
If there isn't anything made legally to do this, and you were to make something without FCC acceptance, then you'd become the offender and could end up wearing the same gps bracelet you're working on.
If ... the gps devices would take an external antenna, then you could run an outside antenna and jack that in for testing and activation.
I had a similar problem and did solve it with the soft reset (pressing reset button). I have a One XL and there is a small reset button that you push with a paper clip. On the XL 330 you press and hold the on/off button for 15 seconds and the unit should reset.
My symptoms: Would not find a GPS signal. When I looked at the GPS Satellite status (press on the GPS signal strength bars, again on the GPS/battery status) you can see it locking on up to 8 satellites but would still not show a gps signal lock. Normally it only takes 4 satellites to get a gps lock. My other sympton was that when I attached the GPS unit to the computer and operated it with TomTom Home, it worked fine and locked on to the gps signal quickly (even inside my home). But it would never (at least for 30 minute trips) lock on to a gps signal. After doing a reset it began working normally and locked on to a gps signal after finding 4 or more satellite signals.
update your sat nav by going to the quick gps fix. I recently couldn't get a signal and wonderd why this was happening. You need to do the gps update /fix - I did last night and I tested it this morning and now everything is back to normal!
When you change geographical locations with any GPS it will take a lot longer for the GPS to acquire the sattelites. Hold the GPS out in an unobstructed area and switch it on. Be patient it will acqurie the signals if it was working before you left home.
10-15 minutes is normal. Did you take it outside? GPS doesn't work indoors. Try in an open field, no trees. Should lock in a few minutes. I always do the following: i key in the destination address at home, then put it under 'favourites". When i start driving, i put the unit in my car and look up the recently added favourite. The unit then has enough time to lock on to the satellites.
Which brand & model GPS do you have?
The brand and model is Tom-Tom Via 110
