Fixya does not have anything to do with this. And you just shared your cell number with the entire world. You need to go to Garmin website to register your device
If your unit is not registering on the Garmin website, then the unit is probably already registered. If its already registered, the Garmin website won't recognize it. If you bought it used, you need to call the person who you bought the unit from and tell them to delete their registration so that you can re-register under your name. If you bought it new, call Garmin customer service at 1-800-800-1012 and have them clear the registration. They will require proof of purchase. New Units sometimes get purchased registered and then returned. Some places will place the merchandise back on the shelf after verifying everything is still there.
If your Garmin is registered at www.Garmin.com, go to the website and click on "View Your Registered Products".
That will take you to a page where you can "manage" your registered products including downloading of maps and updating software.
If you're NOT registered, do it now and you'll be ready to start hunting for new maps etc based on the model number of your unit.
If you bought your unit second hand and the previous owner had already registered it, be advised that you will have to have them UNregister it before YOU can register. (Makes sense, right?)
I'm only guessing, but this may be worth a try. Go to the Garmin website, www.garmin.com, click on the tab "myGarmin". Log in (which you would have done when you registered your new GPS when you bought it). Then click on "View your registered products".
If your 660 is listed there, (its model number would appear in blue type, under the heading Product Name.....and the serial number would be listed to the right) the unit MUST be registered to you or you probably wouldn't even get this far on the website.
If your unit ISN'T listed there, you may see a drop-down window where you can select "Register Now". (I say all this somewhat tentatively, because MY unit IS registered: it was initially registered by its previous owner who had to UNregister before I could go in an register it in MY name.)
Perhaps the store where you bought the unit registered it in YOUR name, but maybe they spelled it differently (like, Mike, instead of Michael). OR, maybe you never registered it when you made your purchase. If not, go ahead and do it now; it's easy!
Sound like somebody has boughten that registered then return to the store. I would go back to the store where you bought it from and tell you want a new. .
You are out of luck. Garmin will only talk to and assist registered owners. The registered owner has to deregister the device before a new owner register it and update the maps.
You can register your GPS on www.myGarmin.com if it's a brand new unit. If someone else have registred it first (i.e. bought on eBay or similar), it could be a bit of a hazzle however.
Just go to http://www.garmin.com. You will find a link there to register your GPS. You may also find that you will get a free map update with your registeration.
