Re: I recieve a garmin as a gift @ it now has a code lock...
The Garmin Lock is a theft-deterrent system that locks your nuvi. Each time you turn the on the nuvi, you would have to enter the PIN or drive to the security location. (where it was orig programmed)
To set the Garmin Lock on the device:
- From the Main Menu, touch the Wrench (Tools) icon.
- Touch Settings.
- Touch Security. (you may need to touch the down arrow button)
- Touch the tab labeled Off next to the Garmin Lock heading.
- The nuvi will prompt you to enter a four-digit pin number.
- Enter a four-digit code as your pin.
- Re-enter the four-digit pin.
- Go
to a 'Security Location' and let the unit acquire satellites (the
security location will unlock the unit if the pin is forgotten or lost).
- Set the 'Security Location' by touching Set.
The Garmin Lock has now been turned On.
