Wrong time on my TomTom go720

Perhaps you did setup the wrong time zone. (wrong country) Check the settings.

try setting your telephone unit date to the incoming call date.

Tap changes preferences on the main menu
then you can do set time or set units depending which model you have. You then set the time zone and the unit gets the time from the gps satellites and display it with your local time zone changes.
You may just have to set or enable DST (daylight savings time ) if after setting the zone/time it is still out.

If you don;t have can;t find your manual you can get a pdf version free from tomtom. Just go to www.tomtom.com and click on support and then look for user guides. You may have to set your location/country-language before you can get to support. Then just download the manual which you can read or print using a pdf reader ie a free one such as adobe reader. The time stuff is covered under the preferences area on the manual.

I have a tomtom 920, it will say the street name to turn on if set to do so & only then if using computer voices, not human voices. Tuning the wrong direction could be its wrong or its trying to take the fast route via a highway, longer route but get there faster

Hello, Unplug your Tomtom device, batteries should be fully charged. The tricky thing to Tomtom devices is the ROM put into the device. It needs to be reset once in awhile. The soft reset is like formatting a hard drive but leaving the system files alone. At the bottom of the device, there is a reset button. You'll need to use the end of a paperclip to reset the unit. After it's reset, reinstall the Tomtom application only by using the Tomtom Home application. Let it reset itself and come back to the original screen, then go to menu and set your preferences. Also if it's connected to Tomtom home and if you backed up your data to your computer, reinstall your maps. The only time your Tomtom device gets bogged down and won't finish a reinstall is when all 1 GB of memory is used up. Hope this helps.

Have you gone to the TomTom site to see if there are any new upgrades. There may have been a miss program in that model that may need to be upgraded.. I use a tomtom and have not had any trouble.

Tap screen, Change Preferences, Right Arrow to side 8 of 8,
tap Set Clock.

Adjust time settings... You need to tap hours 12 hours ahead or backwards to change pm -> am.

Press the reset button underneath the tomtom with a paperclip for a few seconds when plugged in. This could take half an hour of resetting every 5 minutes and sometimes does the trick straightaway. If it still does not come on there might be something wrong with it and you might need to get it repaired.
