I had a Medion satnav which could be switched on by tapping the screen or pressing any button or inserting a memory card. Wonder if yours does the same? These could be disabled so it only turned on when on/off switch was used.

My TT720 can only be turned on with the power switch. Suggest taking it back to retailer?

Thanks for the suggestions. I will take it back. It definately isn't being inadvertantly switched back on. I have taken to switching the unit off and just sitting watching it without touching it and it still does- I guess that make me nuts though!

Cheers.

Another way of turning it off (and then takes longer to restart) is hitting the reset button underneath. I bet it does not start up on its own then.
