The TomTom is brand new. I have loaded all updates, but I just get the message Poor GPS Reception-are you inside a building? (no matter where I am with it, including the Baltimore area this weekend!
Well, it MAY help to download the tomtomhome program from the tomtom website, then connect your unit to your computer and update, including the gpsfix application (that's for all the other posters who didn't mention having updated). But for Drakeca05, updating MAY have been what messed you up in the first place. I updated two days ago with tomtomhome--my tomtom one was working fine, but was a little slow to initially acquire satellites. Now since the update it's even slower, sometimes won't acquire them at all, and randomly drops them. Tomtom tech assistance is useless--they just refer you to the standard "acquiring satellites" faq that you can easily find yourself on their site & nothing there is the least bit helpful for this.
This can often occur if you are in a large city with very tall buildings

i have the same problem, it has happened twice and in bothe cases it was days before it worked right again
The "GPS Status" screen shows multiple satellites with signal strength of ~30 (not sure what the units are) and still no lock.
We have the same problem.
I abruptly lost the signal 24 hours ago.
I have the same problem. the unit was working for 2 weeks, then "rebooted", and now it doesn't lock -- I have 8 satellites with signal strength between 40-50, but still no location.
Brand new device but shows no GPS signal... how to solve this?
no SIGNAL are you in a building?
Same problem. It worked for half of my trip and then started t give me the message - " waitng for a valid gps signal" - I am still waiting. It has also given me the message " are u in a building?"
My TomTom was working for 14 months and then a poor GPS reception appeared all day!
It's had a lost signal for over 2 weeks. I updated and still nothing!
My signal reads " Poor GPS signal, are you in a building?"
My tom tom is not picking up a signal it was fine, but now it keeps asking am I in a building, It is still on warranty but can I solve it without taking it back?
got to my destination fine...couldn't get home. brilliant. hasn't found any satellites for a few weeks now with all the updates i can find my tom seems to have dropped his bat and gone home
