When I'm entering an address or postcode the letters touched are not the same ones coming up on the screen. Does the screen need re-calibrated, if so, how? Steve
I tried this to fix my tomtom one, but it didn't work.
It may be worth a try on other models, though....

Same problem here. The bottom of the screen seemed to go wrong, so hitting any of the buttons there would register as hitting the button above. Big problem when press 'Done' or backspace!
For a while, I resorted to keeping a pen in the car, and using that to touch the buttons instead of my finger. Touching the buttons at the very bottom seemed to have a bit more success.
Eventually though, I gave up and ended up getting a newer Garmin unit. It's disappointing that TomTom don't have any any way of recalibrating the touch screen though, as this kind of feature is common on most other touchscreen devices that I've used.

Our TomTom Go Classic has same problem. TomTom says it just needs to be recalibrated, but that they no longer support this model, so we should consider buying a newer model - Yeah - RIGHT! $500+ for the unit 2 years ago and $130 for maps updates, now it's a paperweight - SURE I'll buy another one!

I have the same problem....but worse...whatever I hit is so far off that a different menu item entirely shows up and the unit isnt even 6 months old...WTF....
I'm having the same problem, but I guess, there MUST BE a tool to recalibrate the touchscreen!
But I can find it nowhere.
This is crazy!! How do you recal this messed up screen?? Is this a way for tomtom to get us to buy a newer gps???
