How do I reset the PIN code for parental control use if I have forgotten it? Please follow the steps below:-

• Power the unit on.
• Open the unit's drawer.
• Select the BD drive with the Drive Select button.
• Press and hold the REC and PLAY buttons on the front of the unit together for 5 seconds until the display shows INIT.
• Confirm that the front display shows 'INIT'.
• The parental PIN code has now been reset to the default code of '0000'.

I tried to download the user manual for your model, but unfortunately the server link was dead (this may be temporary). Try going to Navman Support for either another try at the manual's download page or an e-mail link for the answer to your question.
Some equipment has a "reset to factory default" button or procedure; this should reset the PIN and user settings to factory default. I don't know if this is the case with your GPS unit since I can't get the manual, but this would be the simplest method if it doesn't erase map updates.

I own a Navman MY55T and I honestly don't think you have to reset date and time. I never have for mine.

I have had a look online for you for your model of Navman and could not find anything within the user manual except how to change the format display for day/month/yer or month/day/year.

My only thoughts Sync it with your computer and it may pick up your computers time and date like many other peripherals do when they sync to your computer. Or it may well automatically change when it picks up GPS info as you use it in your car.

Start at the navman website.

I should pre-warn you that they are not very friendly. About 4 years ago I bought my mom a Navman ICN 620, after 6 months I tried to get updates and called and emailed them for about four months finally when they responded they just said they were not updating US maps for any of their previous products. Looks like they are more an international company that sells in limited quantity in the US through Radio Shack stores. I have gone back to their website about 5 times since then to see if any updates were ever added and they never did.

If its an older unit I would replace it Tomtom makes a nice unit and Magellan even has a few units with free traffic updates (depending on area)

I finally just replaced the unit for her this christmas bought her a Magellan roadmate 1470 for $150.

Just FYI most GPS manufacturers want you to pay YEARLY for their map updates and if you skip an update you may have to also pay to do a firmware update. I have a Tomtom go 720 which is 2 years old they wanted $49 for a firmware update and $99 for the map update.

Change bad internal MMC Card for a new one, connect via USB to PC , run f20servicepack1.exe. Don't forget to install Navman's USB drivers ( c:\program files\navman\f20 service pack\USB\ .

RECENTLY I DID PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING
SO HERE IS WHAT I DID :
" I TURNED IT ON AND HIT THE HARD RESET AND THEN LEFT IT ON TILL ALL P[OWER WENT AWAY FROM UNIT
SECOND I HAD TO DOWNLOAN A NEW VERSION FOR MY UNIT ; MEANING MAP
THEN I TOOK THE BATTERY OUT AND AND PLUGED IN MY USB CORD AND IT TOOK IT
I PUT MY BATTERY IN AND CHARGED OVER NIGHT AND WELL IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT TO DO BUT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND MY DRIVER GOT BOOTED OFF THE UNIT AND ANOTHER DRIVER FOR A MODEL WAS ATTACHED
HOW I DONT KNOW BUT MY UNIT WORKS NOW FOR THE LAST 4 MONTHS NO PROBLEMS

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU OUT RICHARD FROM CHICAGO

Try cold boot, that is factory reset button on the right of the power/usb cable slot.

LET UNIT POWER 100 PERCENT DOWN AND PULL BATTERY THEN MASTER RESET
THEN PLUG IN USB CORD AND SEE IF IT WILL LET YOU REINSTALL WITH OUT BATTERY IN IT

THAT HOW I JUST FIXED MINE 4 MONTHS AGO
