Garmin 610/660 Leaflet

This guide provides short instructions for various nüvi operations. 

Fold and keep this guide in the pocket of your nüvi carrying case. 

WARNING:

 See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the 

product box for product warnings and other important information.

Press and hold the   

 button on the top of the nüvi.

To charge the nüvi, use one of the following methods:

●  Connect the nüvi to the suction mount and the  

12/24-Volt vehicle adapter.

●  Connect the USB cable to the nüvi and your computer.

●  Connect the AC adapter to the nüvi and a wall outlet 

(included with the nüvi 660). 

Before the nüvi can find your current location and navigate a route, 

you must do the following:

1.  Go outdoors to an open area, 

away from tall buildings and trees.

2.  Flip up the GPS antenna on 

the back of the nüvi, so that it is 

parallel to the ground.

3.  Turn on the nüvi. Acquiring 

satellite signals can take a few 

minutes. 

The 

 bars indicate satellite strength. When the bars are 

green, the nüvi has acquired satellite signals; now you can select a 

destination and navigate to it.

Check your state and local traffic laws before mounting. Currently, state laws 

in California and Minnesota prohibit drivers from using suction mounts on 

their windshields while operating motor vehicles. Other Garmin dashboard 

or friction mounting options should be used. See the Important Safety and 

Product Information guide for more details.

1.  Plug the power cable into the bottom of the mount. Plug 

the other end into a 12/24-Volt receptacle in your vehicle.

2.  Clean and dry your windshield and the suction cup with a 

lint-free cloth. Place the suction cup on the windshield. 

3.  Flip the lever back, toward the windshield. 

4.  Flip up the GPS antenna. Fit the bottom of your nüvi into 

the cradle.

5.  Tilt the nüvi back until it snaps into place.

6.  If you are using a traffic receiver in Europe, secure the 

traffic antenna and suction cups to the windshield.
