Troubleshooting

Problem/Question Solution/Answer
My nüvi never gets satellite signals.	Take your nüvi out of parking garages and away from tall buildings and trees. Remain stationary for several minutes.
The suction cup will not stay on my windshield.	Clean the suction cup and windshield with rubbing alcohol. Dry with a clean, dry cloth. Mount the suction cup as described on page 2.
My nüvi does not charge in my vehicle.	Check the fuse in the vehicle power cable (see page 47).Ensure the vehicle is turned on and is supplying power to the power outlet.Your nüvi can only charge between 32°F and 113°F (between 0°C and 45°C). If the nüvi is placed in direct sunlight or in a hot environment, it cannot charge.
My battery does not stay charged for very long.	To maximize the time between charges, turn down the backlight. Touch Tools > Settings > Display > Brightness.
How do I clear all of my user data?	Hold your finger on the lower-right corner of the nüvi screen while it is turning on. Keep your finger pressed until the message appears. Touch Yes to clear all user data.

Appendix

Problem/Question Solution	Solution/Answer
My battery gauge does not seem accurate.	Allow the unit to fully discharge, and fully charge it (without interrupting the charge cycle).
The touchscreen is not responding to my touches.	Calibrate the touchscreen as described on pages 44–45.
How do I know my nüvi is in USB mass storage mode?	When your nüvi is in USB mass storage mode, a picture of a nüvi connected to a computer is shown. Also, you should see two new removable disk drives listed in My Computer.
My computer never senses that the nüvi is connected.	1. Unplug the USB cable from your computer.2. Turn off the nüvi.3. Plug the USB cable into a USB port on your computer and into your nüvi. The nüvi automatically turns on and goes into USB mass storage mode. Ensure your nüvi is connected to a USB port and not a USB hub.
I cannot see any new removable drives in my list of drives.	If you have several network drives mapped on your computer, Windows can have trouble assigning drive letters to your nüvi drives. See your operating system Help file to learn how to map or assign drive letters.
How can I find restaurants near the hotel I will be staying at in the future?	Save the hotel in your Favorites. See page 12 for more information on Favorites. You can then search near the hotel for restaurants.1. Touch Where To? > Near.2. Select A Favorite Destination.3. Select a destination.4. Touch Points of Interest > Food and Drink.5. Select a category. Your nüvi searches for locations near the hotel.6. Select a restaurant.
My phone will not connect to the nüvi.	Ensure you have a nüvi with Bluetooth. See page iv. Touch Tools > Settings > Bluetooth. Verify that the Bluetooth field is set to Enabled.Ensure your phone is turned on and is less than 33 feet (about 10 meters) away from your nüvi.See www.garmin.com/bluetooth for more help.
