20 Most Recent Sanyo NVM-4050 GPS Receiver Questions & Answers

I got the pairing code via searching the internet it is 0000 and worked just fine. Now however I get an "Unable to connect message". Sanyo tech support is very hard to get a hold of.,.

Unfortunately there is no solution...... I contacted NAVTEQ and I’ve got the following answer:

After that, I called 1800 as suggested and I got the answer I didn’t want to hear:

Sanyo said that “The policy of the company is not to update NVM4050 EVER… the only one to be update is NVM 4370” ….

So, we are stuck with our NVM4050…..

How about everybody that owns a NVM4050 calls them ?!?!?!?!

Middle of the road as far as quality----dead unit can be battery or not charging for several reasons.

Yes I am. How are you?

Yes you can charge your gps using the USB cable, but it will take a few hours to fully charge, If you still have the booklet for the unit under Specs it will say what kind of battery you can pick up at any RadioShack store

Sprint makes these GPS units so I would say get a battery there

I ended up in the same situation and called (800) 421-5013 for help. The gentelman who assisted me said that how the DVD holds the same data as factory Sanyo 4050 GPS and upgrading has locked your device. To resolve the discussed issue one have to delete everything (plug-in your device via USB cable --> My Computer --> Removable disk) and install fresh copy onto your navigation device via that DVD.
Tried it with NO @!@ JOY

Just reset it. Hold the reset button for some good seconds. I hope it works. It did on mine. Good luck :)

I hope I can help. I had the same problem and I took it back to the store to exchange it and the only thing they did was to reset the GPS. So just press the reset button for 2-3 seconds and see if it works. I hope it does. Good luck. :)

I have cobra Navone 3000 Gps. I need to update maps on it. Could somene tell me where to get free map download for it please?

I have had the same problem. I just notice the power switch on the bottom of the unit. I believe if this one is used it will not lose power. The other power button is probably for a standby mode.

You can use a FM modulator and hear it fine through your radio, but then you have the problem of no radio to listen to.........Im lost too.

Are you installing the DVD using windows vista? Had the same problem but it worked after installation using windows XP.

I got the chance to talk to 1st navteq and they requested that I speak with sanyo, then I got the chance to talk to sanyo customer service who couldn't offer any help other than asking me to wait till December or January when their version of 2009 map upgrade will be made available.There was one interesting revelation I kind of found out on Garmin 770 too; the same addresses could not be plotted or navigated by this also so I think it is a common factor and these are all somewhat new addresses of new developments. My suggestion will be wait till 2009 map upgrade is made available.
