If you've bought the version 2 of TomTom One, you'll know what I mean. They've made it cheaper than a previous one and whilst I don't mind that, it doesn't bloody work. As soon as your run over a snail, the whole unit falls from teh windscreen, hits you in teh face and ends up tangled under the seat.

There are several modified upgrades offered on Ebay, but has anyone found one that works well?

Mine has never come off. In fact, I have trouble getting the damn thing off the screen when I park up - often have to separate it from the screen using a biro.

Maybe your windscreen is greasy and that's why it's not sticking
It doesn't matter which car we stick it in, it falls off!!
faulty sucker then wink
I think the fact that you leave yours on is key. What must be happening is that it worked for a week or two, then get's the inevitable dust etc on it and they falls off.

I haev the sucker for the v1 and it's never come off despite being 2 years old and living in the glovebox. The v1 was certainly a better, albeit more expensive design. I've heard they've now fixewd the v2 sucker, so it may be you guys have got the later v2.1 sucker
