I upgraded it to 7.162 using TomTomHome and have asked it to plan some
routes. While I was looking at the route details it kept telling me
"Route changed". Going back to the navigation screen it kept looping
around replanning the route.
With a short route - 4 miles - it finally seems to have come out of the
loop and is now giving me the normal navigation screen. I've just tried
it with a longer route too and it seems happier this time going straight
into the navigation.
I wondered if it was because I'm in my house which is effectively
between streets so it wasn't sure where I was starting from. (I have
reception in my house which is impressive compared with my old walking
GPS from a few years back). Navigation screen didn't show the street
changing though. Maybe I should have paid attention to the route changes
it was making and looked for toggling first streets.

it correctly found my position and all was well

Probably the 'snap to road' feature. if you are exactly equidistant
between two known streets then it could be snapping between the tow
triggering a recalculation at each stage.
A little annoying in the house but as soon as you get onto the road it
would not be an issue.

Thanks. We'll see how it goes. It does seem quite good at getting the
position right which is impressive.

Can you not set up 'Home' while standing in the street (well - on the
pavement for safety) then navigate from 'Home' rather then present
location for future planning?
