I had a similar problem with my Nuvi 40, but it turned out reset was not necessary. In removing the unit from my vehicle for storage, I hastily forgot to turn it off with the power button, and the battery ran down for several hours before I looked at it again. But rather than running down to complete power off, it was stuck in the GARMIN logo page, as if it were coming up. I found this solution online and planned to try the next morning to fix it. The next morning, the power button still had no effect, either to speed up the power-up process or to shut it down completely; the logo was unaffected by anything I could do to the unit, including the power button held down for a full minute, and the two corners mentioned in the video held down for a full minute. Not having time to troubleshoot, I left it for another 8 hours, and finally, I came back to find it totally dark. Of course, the power button would no longer turn it on, even when plugged in to a power source. After another 8 hours or so on a charging port, the power button did work, the Nuvi came up normally, and (thankfully) the reset procedure shown here was not needed. Incidentally, I had earlier had to solve a simple mechanical problem myself: soon after purchasing the unit, the external part of the power button somehow came loose and hid itself somewhere in the (black, of course) car carpet. It was necessary, but awkward, to press the protruding activating switch inside the slot where the external button had been, in order to perform the power on/off functions. After giving up hope, especially since the car had been vacuumed a couple of times, we found the lost external button. Whatever part of the external button was supposed to hold it in the slot had obviously broken and could not be repaired (possibly the reason it "fell out" in the first place). However, I placed the external button in its slot, pressing down on the internal button, and used PLAIN ADHESIVE TAPE to hold it down so it would not fall out. It has been operating properly in this way for two years. Since one of the most frustrating things about tech gadgets is that tiny, simple mechanical parts break and there is no process to repair or replace them without replacing the entire product, there is a need for homemade ingenuity to keep them operating for what we expect to be their useful life.

hey mate, my messages icon has an exclamation mark on it, any ideas on what it means?.

This is a great video but it is apparently for an older model. The current model - HRM3 - is not nearly as easy to adjust as this video shows and the Garmin documentation doesn't help much. Would love to see a video on the HRM3 showing exactly how to adjust the length.

usb port will not charge a samsung phone what will it charge. thanks graham

We would love to use this on @GarminOutdoor social media accounts. If you approve, please reply #GoGarmin. Awesome Shot!

I only get just main rd. no side streets. might there be a setting. thanks

Actually, this didn't help me much. I can read, so I know what the settings are. What I don't know is why you would choose one over the other. "Off road transition" for example. Yes, I know it can be auto, distance etc. But what is the difference? What do they mean? Best, Daniel

I appreciate the detailed review!

I have a 62st, and I am looking to upgrade to a 64st if it is able to connect to tablets or smartphones to be used as an external gps like the Garmin GLO, or Bad Elf receivers and navigate using the appropriate aps. My question, is it possible to connect to a GPS 64st and use it in that way?

The missing software happened after updating my Garmin Zumo 665 now it is useless.

Tried the reset all I get is software missing message never have I seen the prompt to reset? What other options do I have?

Thank you sir ... great video! When installing the ball to the plastic base, which direction do the nuts face? They are flat on one side and rounded on the other. Flat side in is what I presume.

Thanks so much for this...I had turned unit on for the first time, and it went into german, and I was wondering how to reset it so I could set to English. Saved me a lot of aggravation. Your series are fantastic. Thanx again!!

Thanks :)

you know you can press the "find" key to find waypoints faster right?

hi question is good the nuvi 2689lmt ?

Good .

Yes Phill, here is a video describing how you can change the data fields: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nV7OmYhjmp6mnZY

Can the fields in the Map Tools/Trip Data on the 2797 be customized? I've seen some postings from Garmin that seem to indicate that you can change the fields to something more useful such as Elevation and Time.

Thanks for posting. Had been wondering how to change the settings on my 510, which was the same for the 810 you posted.

I was wondering how this Worked so thanks a lot I know now

Thanks! This reset button was very useful when my Garmin had Frozen on the title screen. Really appreciate the helpful video!

Thanks for this. It was super handy. I appreciate it.

Nice man!

Only place I have been able to locate this info to pair my bike with my Garmin.

would be GREAT TO SEE how quickly it locks in real usage

Bit disappointed.I just purchased a 2797 and it didnt come with a protective case to put it in when i take off the mount and store it in my console.My Nuvi 2595 came with a case

Any tips if it just won't start anymore ? :(

Hi, Is there any way how to particularly export saved waypoints form the Forerunner 910XT as .gpx file?

Just what I needed to successfully update my Garmin for an upcoming trip to Ireland. Thanks for a valuable video!!

Great video, thanks you! By the way, who is the man speaking. Is this a computer? voice

How can I use this with navigation apps? How can I know that my external GPS is being used and not the internal one?

Wow! PERFECT thanks.

Thanks for that. Handy tips for my new multi drop driving job. Shame about only 1 poi. Unless that changes in future updates

It has lodging option.

Anyone help -My garmin will not find the satelites any advice appreciated

Ive got the speed and cadence sensors, and they work great with my 910xt. Maybe you need to make sure you are on the latest firmware

Awesome information....thank you for the video!!

Yay! Easy fix. Thanks! :)

Oh my god thank you! I am that annoying beeping person!

Thanks! My Edge 800 shut off during cycling and I couldn't do anything anymore, not even when it was hooked up to my computer. This little trick got it going again! :)

More better!

cool cool

It's also worth noting that if you have Tones turned off on an eTrex 20 or 30 then Proximity Alarms won't sound. One of the first things I did when I got my eTrex 20 was to turn off the sounds to prevent annoying key press sounds. At the time I just turned off all sounds not thinking about advanced features I'd want to hear. FYI, key presses can be turned off separately.

are you going to review the new nuvicam

Really useful and efficient, thank for the review.

Thank you!

Hi!, thanks for the very very clear explanation. Im going to follow a friend through some dirt roads, that cant be found in a map. I need to save the trip, exactly the way my friend guided me trough, so I can go back again with some other people, myself as the guide. How can I save this trip?, I mean, that isnt planned previously, but save it as I go. THANKS!!!

I have seen no vids of peoples GPS with the relief shaded in. This is not always available and tricky to know how to apply it. Is anybody familiar with the problem I am referring to here, or is it that nobody either knows of it, or gives a shit. I find it immensely helpful to have all the appropriate info showing in an easy to see layout over shaded relief to make the elevation changes "pop" out.

Probably the best to go for a diver
