TomTom confirms leap year bug is affecting a 'limited number' of GPS devices

TomTom confirms leap year bug is affecting a 'limited number' of GPS devices

Has your TomTom GPS let you down over the past few days. Then it looks like the company may have pinpointed your problem. It confirmed today that a leap year bug is preventing at least some models from obtaining a GPS position - something that has apparently been occurring since March 31st. Exactly which GPS devices are affected isn't clear, with TomTom only saying that a "limited number of models" have been experiencing the problem. Unfortunately, the company doesn't have a permanent fix just yet, but it says that a hard reset of the device will temporarily resolve the issue if you find yourself in a pinch.
