Ok, I'll admit the old 2460 is getting a little dated, but up until my last trip, it has served me well. While coming through Chatanooga, the unit just "locked up " and would not update. I finally powered it down, and then it would not power back up. After several attempts to restart the unit, I just powered it off. After about an hour, I tried to restart the unit, and low and behould it came up normally. I have used it a couple of time locally, and it seems to be working OK. Has anyone else had a similar issue with a 2460. Just curious if it is about die for good, or was just an anomally. Thanks in advance

Sometimes the units experience glitches.
I have found that pressing and HOLDING the power button will typically "unfreeze" the unit and cause it to restart.
2460 issues...
I have a 2460 as my primary nav. It's paid for and has lifetime maps (for what that's worth).
Some times the little sucker reboots. I think it's related to the crummy bluetooth code used with the garmin ODB-II thing, whatever it's called.
I've had it hang a couple of times over the years, and when that happens, I force a restart.
All in all, it's more reliable than some other microprocessor-based things I deal with on a daily basis.

Locked up about 5 months ago for the first/only time. Had to reboot and no problems since
