Appendix

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 

My nüvi does not charge 

in my vehicle.

Ensure the vehicle is turned on and is supplying power to the 

power outlet.

Your nüvi can only charge between 32°F and 104°F (0°C 

and 40°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.

To avoid draining the battery, remove the battery when your nüvi 

is not in use.

My battery gauge does not 

seem accurate.

Allow the unit to fully discharge, and fully charge it (without 

interrupting the charge cycle).

How do I clear all 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 

 to clear all user data.

The nüvi is locked 

up/frozen.

If the nüvi stops functioning, turn the nüvi off and on again. If 

this does not help, press and hold   for 10 seconds. The nüvi 

should operate normally. You can also remove the battery, and 

then reinstall it.
