News reports from TomTom's own website reveal that some TomTom GO 910 GPS units were infected with a virus. The models affected were produced in one week in the last quarter of 2006 with software version 6.51. They claim the virus is qualified as low risk and does not affect the navigation performance of the TomTom GO 910 in any way. However, reports have surfaced of drivers being re-routed from Lowes to Home Depot, Burger King to McDonalds, and from Target to Walmart. You think I'm kidding? Ok, maybe I am. 
But don't think for a second the virus writers and spammers looking to make a buck won't find a way to make revenue from infecting GPS devices, Apple iPods, mobile phones, etc. Their ilk know no bounds...
If you're interested in the TomTom GO 910 GPS (which is still a great GPS unit), you can pick one up on Amazon pretty cheaply.

I bought Tomtom go 910 approximately 1.5 months back. The first unit failed turn on after 1 week of use. The seler replaced the unit with a new one. The second unit also would not turn on after 2 weeks use. Resetting the equipment does not correct the problem. Any ideas why this problem and what is the solution?

I BOUGHT THE SAME MODEL LAST YEAR FROM COSTCO.I'M HAVING PROBLEM STARTING THE GPS INTERMITTENTLY. THE ONLY WAY IT WILL START AGAIN IS TO POWER IT WITH THE AC ADAPTER. THEN IT WILL TURN ON AGAIN.
I have/had the same problem, just don't touch the screen immediately after you power on the device, let it finish loading the applications. Give it about 30 seconds. Hope this helps.
