That makes a bit more sense now. Now that you are at this stage, you should be able to call Garmin Tech Support, and get the restore version software used for the 660 (I would assume).

Xabix,

I'm glad the reset button trick worked for you. At least now you can get you PC to recognize the Nuvi.

Although, I'm not entirely sure why the 2.40 software isn't working for you. The t ...

After holding down the power button for a while when turning it on, it should say something like Restoring System Software. At that point, did you hit the RESET button on the back?

I'm not entirely sure about the card in the unit. I believe you are correct, and it will show up as another drive letter, and should work fine.

I actually have a card reader on my laptop, so I p ...

Glad to see it worked for you! I've now reloaded over 150,000 POI's, but this time, I made sure I stayed well under the 257 category limit, and no problems. Also, I loaded the POIs onto a SD card in ...

Swing,

That would make sense, since the unit's are almost identical, save a few features (I remember, as I originally looked at that one first, before the 360). Thanks!

ukshug1,

Hey all,

Check out the post I just wrote up. I had the Loading Maps lockup, and I managed to fix it WITHOUT sending the unit back to Garmin. Here's how I did it. Hopefully, it works for you too.

Swing,

Thanks for the heads up. I wasn't aware of that. My unit is a Garmin 360 (bear in mind, not a 360T or anything like that, just plain old 360).

ukshug1,

If yours is not a 360, then ...

Before doing what I described in the Cliff Notes version, make sure you follow point 1 from the original note to clear out the POIs that were just loaded. Otherwise, you might restore the system soft ...

Hey all,

Sorry this is so long, but if you are having the same problem, and this can possibly fix it for you, then it may be worth it!

I recently experienced the same problem that a lot of Nuvi ...
