hi, I was just wondering if anywone else has had this problem, I turned my nuvi 200w on the other day and I could not get past my password screen. upon a closer look, the touch screen was acting up!! I could press a 1 and the 3 would light up and register as a number pressed, even though I WAS NOT CLOSE to the 3 with my finger, well I finally played around long enough to get past my pass, and all the screens were like this, it was impossible to add a new address, so I turn it off and back, still the same, I finally turned it off and unplugged in and then it worked fine, has anyone else seen this problem???
kinda like when you boot
kinda like when you boot your computer and it doesnt load everything, so you reboot..you did the right thing..it just didnt start up properly..as a last resort if all else fails do a reset and you shoud be fine..
calibrate
Just like my Palm pilot the screen on the Nuvi needs calibration whenever you see it acting weird.
With the Nuvi off, move the button over like you are turning it on but continue to hold the button in the ON (momentary position) until you get the calibration screen.

Don't give up.
Don't give up. You have to hold the switch for a long time!

You're right
You do have to wait a long time. You just taught me another neat trick thanks.
