Factory Reset without working touchscreen?

It seems that there is no way to reset Nuvi with broken screen. At least I couldn't find one.

But if you are selling it for parts there is brutal option. Just plug it to PC and then do format from PC. To be sure make full format option instead of quick. It should remove all data, as we can see from many post about formatting Nuvi.

So far I've used the POI loader app to erase all my POIs, and I've emptied the GPX and the reports folders. I think that's most of it. Not sure about stuff like the "Home" setting, but seeing as the package will have my address on it anyway....

If you connect it to BaseCamp and delete all the Favorites that way, will that remove them from the unit?

Dave, connect to your PC and look in the Garmin/GPX folder and delete Current.gpx and temp.px. This will get rid of everything.

Deleting the current.gpx will NOT get rid of the favorites. It’s located in a hidden area of internal memory and will recreate itself with it's contents on the next reboot and the favorites remain.
By leaving the temp.gpx file on there will only add the contents to the current.gpx on the next reboot.
The temp.gpx must be removed as with any .gpx and .gpi files on the Nuvi.
Motorcyle Mama's suggestion of using Basecamp is a better approach.

In addition I would like to mention DO NOT format the Nuvi, this will make it undesirable to sell for someone wishing to repair the touchscreen. Many operating files will no longer be available to the new owner.

For giving it a bath! be sure to use lots of soap and hot water

Good to know-

I like it!
