Troubleshooting 
Problem/QuestionSolution/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 29). 
Ensure the vehicle is turned on and is supplying power to the power outlet.
Your nüvi can only charge between 32°F and 140°F (0°C and 60°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 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.

Problem/QuestionSolution/Answer
My battery gauge does not seem accurate.
Allow the unit to fully discharge, and fully charge it (without interrupting the charge cycle).
The touch screen is not responding to my touches.
Calibrate the touch screen as described on page 26. 
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.
