I'm having the dreaded auto-zoom problem on my Start 55-TM. When looking at the map while driving down the street I will zoom out to show a mile or so down the road. As soon as I lean back in my seat the zoom level resets to something very close, several blocks, and I can no longer see down the road. Very frustrating as I use the device mostly just to know what the road is doing in front of me, not necessarily to take me places.
Update - I just called TomTom support. The guy I spoke with was pretty nice and pulled out the same device that I have. His device is also doing it. He is putting in a request to update the software to allow me to automatically set the zoom to whatever I want (and allow it to stick). No clue how long this process will take so I'm considering changing to a Garmin unit. Has anybody been through this update process before? Any idea how long takes or if the request will actually make it into a software release? I have read some other threads on here about other models that do this as a "feature" because it is a less expensive model.
Thoughts?
