No satellite signal -tomtom XL

Postby weseso3826 » Mon May 11, 2026 6:53 am

Hello,
I have two TomTom XL GPS devices, model 4ET03, one with 2GB of storage and the other with 4GB. I'm not getting any satellite signal despite updating with QuickGPSFix, using FastActivate, TTActivator, or TomTom Home.

The maps are working, and FastActivate is up to date (2022.12.22).

I did some "resets", but nothing.

Could there be some hidden block by TomTom Home?
I haven't found any similar cases.
Thank you.

Hello,
Not sure if the same as me, but myself with Go Live 950 had that issue, neither tomtom home nor ttactivator 1.20 solved, only solved by deleting the contents of ephem folder and let it outside and catch a fix, since then all ok but I don't update gpsfix

I don't know how but I managed to get all my NAV2 TomTom XXL devices working by thinking it has a sirfstarIII chip, works great but if I tell it has GlobalLocate 2 chip. it wont work.

As I said, dont know how but it works.
