It took me 2 replacements to work out that the Tomtom RIDER GPS Receiver would not turn on after any journey of any reasonable length on a bike! I'm absolutely serious - one time use, then take it back and get it replaced. Initially I thought the problem was with the incredibly stiff on/off button. Try as I might, I simply couldn't get it to switch on, but then it dawned on me, when you place it in the powered cradle it should turn on automatically without needing to bruise your finger...

I have a TomTom Rider that keeps on crashing when you are riding on the bike. The unit has been back for repair, but am still having the same problem. The unit is now back at TomTom again for repair. If you send a unit back for repair they will quote you 10 working days. However, the timer only starts when the unit has been signed in at TomTom. Last time it took 14 days to get there, and then 15 days for the repair.

One more victim I purchased a brand new rider 2 and rode 35 miles stopped for fuel and the unit failed to turn on it seized. I knew the route home so was ok. I'm a bit angry these unit are the the most expensive and they should work. Once the battery failed I plugged in the charger and it turned on. Don't know how to reset the unit its only 4 days old. Will try again wish i knew this when considering a Garmin.!!
