Nuvi 880 diagnostic screen - does it exist???

 

Hi All,

If a diagnostic screen exists on the Nuvi 880, how do I access it?

Thanks for your time.

Re: Nuvi 880 Diagnostic Screen - solution

Hi 880 owners,

Accessing the diagnostic screen, was nowhere to be found in the Nuvi 880’s Owner’s Manual.pdf. So I sent an email to Garmin and in only a few hours, I received this reply:

1. Go to the main menu.
2. Touch View Map.
3. Touch the speed at the bottom left corner of the screen.
4. Hold your finger on the speedometer for about 10 seconds until you see a diagnostics screen.
5. Touch the Back button to get back to the map screen.
6. Touch the Menu button to get back to the main menu.

Regards,

Diagnostics on the 885T vs the 880

This step gets me to a 'Test Pages' menu on the 885T.

More from the 'Where To?' screen:

1. An alternate method to get to Test Pages is, touch Tools, scroll down twice and touch Test.

2. Touch the signal strength icon in the upper left corner to see a diagram of satellites, current reception, speed, altitude, heading, and sky positions of the sun and moon.

3. Touch and hold the battery level icon for about 10 seconds to go directly to one of the diagnostics available from the Test Pages menu.

Do any of these also work on the 880?

HI Netpilot,

#1 doesn’t work on the 880. After “Tools” selection, I can only scroll down once...

#2 works...

#3 also works...
