Nuvi 660 Lock up....Any One Else?

 

Hi Everyone,

While traveling down the freeway today I noticed that my Nuvi 660 had locked up tighter than snot! I tried shutting it off via the power button but even that would not work so, I push the rest button under the antenna on the back of the unit and that reset it to working again. Has anyone else had any lock problems with their Nuvi 660? Software version 4.10

Thanks Much!

I did

Mine locked up on me two times the other night. Luckily I was able to hit the power button to get it to restart. When it came back on it was still navigating me to the route that I had selected. That is the only two times it has ever locked up on me.

lock up

My 250W did that today while playing around and I had to call tech support. All you have to do is press the reset button on the unit. Mine was on the bottom and I had to use an ink pen to push the button.

Emailed Support

And they told me to update the software on the unit HOWEVER, the unit has all 2008 Map updates on it with a software version of 4.10 and from what I'm hearing about version 4.20 I don't want it?!

I did notice that the day the unit locked it was VERY FOGY and I had a EXTREMELY HARD TIME getting a satellite signal, nearly 5 minutes went by before I was able to get a signal driving down the road and about 10 minutes after that the unit locked up. It hasn't done it since then so, WTF!?

I Wonder?

If the sunspot activity could be causing this? I read that we are in an EXTREMELY BAD cycle right now.

Sunspots and aliens

I never had my GPSr lock up, even with sun spots/flares. However, I have mine to make it look like I am left or right of the road that I am on.

Could be aliens!
