Background..."Maybe it needs a software update?" Mine did, missed the small print in the box, I think I was required to register at the site (too late after x month from purchase) then finding out...... TomTom 20 £70 plus for an update.
If you use TomTom Home you should get software (i.e. operating system) updates for free. It's the updated maps you have to pay for. The other annoyance (certainly used to be) was that you could only register one device against each email address.
I now use the TomTom app on iPhone. It does everything a standalone does at about £35 with free map updates for life, and it plays via bluetooth through the car stereo (if required), and it travels with me wherever I am, and you can have it on multiple iOS devices, and.....

I think he's in time to take it back if all not working correctly. One will check tomorrow.
I have a Motorola Cliq XT with an early Android OS. I was told to bring it up to date would cost more than the phone was worth cos they needed it to be sent back to MR. With the American sim, it was a nightmare, but always, with the UK sim it works like a dream. (Touch wood.) I persevered with it because (gasp) it's a bloody good phone and while in England at least, hardly ever needs charging. (twice a week, compared to twice a day sometimes in Texas.) I have no idea what was running in the background with American T-mobile, but it was consistently bad for several years while being consistently good here in the UK.
In the early days I tried trotting up and down my road in Texas and it seemed to work as a GPS, but I was never sure if it was really GPSing or getting data off the masts. Can such an old phone really be a GPS receiver? Certainly, the Sony just a short while later had GPS and with an INERTIAL system for tunnels etc. Rather impressive filling in of the gaps.
