My Garmin Nuvi 660 touch screen is frozen. I've tried to reset it with the switch on the back. I've tried connecting it to my computer to reset it. Powering on and off don't work.

Reset the nuvi 660:

1 Disconnect from external power.

2 Flip antenna up.

3 Locate and press small button labeled "RESET" in the antenna recess on rear of nuvi 660.

4 Connect to external power source.

The nuvi will reset, power up and operate normally. If this was helpful, please rate it 4 thumbs up - thanks & good luck!

This can happen sometimes, remove the battery to do a reset.

if its frozen to the point that it will not turn off, lift the external antenna and push the reset button, then start it up again and see if its ok. if not

make sure its has a good charge,plug it in to the usb port on your computer for a few hours.

if that fails, try a reset

note: the master reset will erase all your saved data

with the unit off,and unplugged, try pressing and holding your finger on the low right corner of the screen and slide the power switch to the on position until you see the message "confirm if you really want to delete all user data?" hit yes and let it restart. then it will set up the nuvi again, so follow the prompts.

hook up the nuvi to the web updater and get the latest update



you can get the Web Updater HERE

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.
