Garmin 660 locked up / frozen

I was just listening to an audibook I loaded onto my 660 and the nuvi locked up suddenly and now is frozen with the screen on. the touch screen does not work and the power button has no impact. any advice? also, does resetting the nuvi erase anything saved on the unit (ie maps, audio books, favorite lists, etc.)? Thanks!

Resetting the device merely resets the power connection, on some devices there is a reset to manufacturer defaults on settings, but not your stored data. Working with GPS's 40 hours a week I constantly have to use the reset button when they lock up. Just press it in for a few seconds then if it doesn't power back up just hit the power button and everything should be fine.

Will my garmin play music?

Yes, if it has a media player. The 660 will. It will play MP3's but you have to load the MP3's onto the GPS using a USB cable between the GPS and your PC.

Cant enter pin or screen is frozen

Look near the SN # and press the reset button.

or

with the garmin off, hold down the right bottom of the screen and turn the garmin on, it will then ask you if you want to perform a hard reset. Choose yes and that should fix your problem.

Garmin nuvi 660 frozen

I did connect it to the computer via my USB cord - a Garmin menu came up and after opening a couple of the choices the Garmin was workable again. I don't really know why. But all is good here.
