Nuvi 660 Lockup

 

Just had my 660 lock up for no reason. I set a destination to my home from where I am now, but it wouldn't aquire the satilites. Took it outside, nothng on the screen or the power button would work. I even hooked it up to AC power nothng. Hit the reset button on the back and it shut of and is now working like always. Ii even plotted the route to the house from where we are at now. Never happened before. I think the gps gremlins must have been playing inside of it. grin

Reset Question

I just submitted my own 660 "lock-up" question, but my symptoms sound different from yours. I am curious, however. When you reset your 660, did you loose your Favorites? I know it doesn't touch any custom POIs, but what about other options like voice selection, volume, etc.?

I checked and every thing is just like it was before it froze up. all my favorites are still there and mpe plays but my songlist is on my sd card. Still have the same voice. It sounds like you may have a problem still with your mp3 player. I just pushed the reset button on the back under the antenna. this is the first time I have had any problem with my 660. I have also changed direction while going some where and had jill recalculate a number of time before getting back on the route I had planed. Keep in touch and let me know what you find out so I will kknow what to do if it happen to me. Good luck.

Thanks

Thanks, John! Just for chuckles, I may try resetting mine before I head out in the morning. I have never had to reset mine for any reason, up to this point in time.

This is the first operational problem I've had. I hope I don't regret updating the software version and maps. confused

660 Lock Up

I am still running 2008 maps, but have done software and firmware updates but not bluetooth as mine works great with my old and new cell phone.
