    When I'm on a road near where i live my tomtom won't go over 88kph even when going faster.
    Also if i slow down to say 30kph the satnav is reading 74kph.
    It seems to be working ok everywhere else but i don't have it long so i'm not sure.
    It happens everytime on this road without fail.
    Anyone know why it's happening or if there's a fix:confused::confused::confused:

    Could be a reception issue. Do you have another unit to compere it with ?
    Where is the road? I would love to test it on a few devices?

    I have Navigon on my phone so I checked with that.
    Both were reading the same speed untill I got on this road and the Tomtom went down to 69kph(worse than usual) and the Navigon stayed at 100kph.

    Also, it still warns me if I go over the speed limit even though it may say I am doing around 80kph.
    The road is outside Youghal,

    Unfortunately I'm nowhere near there. However can you PM me a more precise location and I'll run a few simulations.

    Thank you.
    I'll let you know how I get on.
    If I find something reproduceable I'll get it over to TomTom.
