eXplorist units have also some hidden and service functions. Like, if unit is off, you can to press:

- IN + PWR - to full selftest of unit (screen test, keypad test, NMEA test)
- OUT + PWR - to serial port test
- ESC + PWR - to burn-in process
- LIGHT + ENTER + RWR - tp uploading of new firmware
- NAV + PWR - to call Service Function window (see below)
- NAV + MENU + PWR - to force power off, equal remove batteries.
- GOTO + OUT + POWER - clear memory and set all settings as default.


IN + PWR helped to power up my unit.

How old is it and does it get quite a bit of use
If so then consider replaceing the battery

Ebay has a good selection from a wide range of reputablesellers and very good prices

SOURCE: my garmin won't turn on. I have tried the plug in

it does have an internal battery, but that normally wont prevent it
from turning on unless the battery is defective.

plug it in to the usb cable on your computer for a while (normally it will start right up) then slide to power switch to the on position for about ten seconds.

if that fails, press and hold the lower right corner of the screen and then slide the power switch to the on position while holding the lower right corner of the screen and follow the directions once it starts

i can give you something else to try before you go and spend money on a battery...a battery should be the last thing to do, even though it will more often then not fix the problem thats tempory..

if it turns out you think you need a battery, i will point you to one with instructions on how to change it.

How can i reset my garmin nuvi 780

The following solution is available on Fixya:

1:Turn the Nuvi on.

2:Touch the tools icon on the main screen. The tools icon is represented by a wrench surrounded by a blue circle.


3:Touch the "Settings" icon which appears as a wrench.

4:Push the "Restore" button at the bottom of the screen. A confirmation message will appear asking to confirm restoring the Nuvi to factory settings. Push yes to restore the factory settings.


............................................................................................
Try this for hard reset .

Turn off Garmin device. Press down on bottom right corner of the touchscreen [ Don't let go ] , and then power on the GPS unit. You should be prompted whether do you really want to erase all user data, or asked if do you really want to start up in maintenance mode. Press "Yes" to reset (warning: all data will be erased and lost, so backup before proceeding) or enter maintenance mod.

I do not have winter tires and I am wondering what is the best winter tire for 525XI. I have Continental all season and the winter performance terrible.

Of coarse,All Season Tires, are not for snow

You need a couple of new wheels, and dedicate them to
2 snows, of your choice.

Look at tire rack.com, just for the tire tests,
then look locally for treads you like

There are better tires than continental

When you need 4 new tires look at Cooper

I recently bought a nuvi 680 from ebay and turned it on, seemed to work ok except that the bluetooth firmward was absent. I found and updated the firmware...worked ok....then decided to update the map...

When you install a new map, you need a new unlock code. Do you have a file named "gmapprom.unl" within the Garmin directory on your Nuvi?
