Does
your Garmin Nuvi 1450 Freeze at Loading Maps?
Does it lock up or
stop working?
This tip will describe how to perform a hard reset
of the device, and how to
backup your 'Favorites' in case the hard reset
erases them. The next step in fixing your Nuvi when it doesn't start
properly is to
update its system software using Garmin WebUpdater.A
hard reset (or Clear All User Data) has been known to resolve unit
quirks and strange behavior. It's generally recommended to perform it
after a firmware update but is not required by any means. However, if
you're seeing quirks and strange behavior with your unit after the
firmware update, it is a good idea to do a hard reset of the unit. Backup
and Restoration Procedure for Favorites:The Hard
Reset procedure has been known to delete your Favorites, so back them up
beforehand.
- From the Nuvi drive, copy
'/Garmin/GPX/current.gpx' to a backup location on your computer.
- After the hard reset, copy your backed up
'current.gpx' from your computer back to the '/Garmin/GPX/'
folder on the Nuvi, but be sure to rename it 'temp.gpx'.
- On the next power cycle, the Favorites will be
read from 'temp.gpx' into the non-user accessible memory area on the
Nuvi where they are actually stored.
Perform the
Hard Reset:*Note that this will clear all user
selected settings on the unit
- Power the unit off.
- Remove the battery and wait several minutes.
- Install the battery.
- Press and hold (and continue to hold) the
bottom-right corner of the screen while powering the unit on.
- Continue to hold the screen until the "Do you
want to erase all user data?" prompt appears.
- Press "yes" and the unit will reboot. This resets
all your location settings and user preferences.
If
possible after the hard reset, let the unit sit outdoors in the open
for about 30 minutes or so to let the unit re-acquire the satellite
almanac data.You have now performed a hard reset of your
Garmin Nuvi 1450 series GPS unit.
I hope that helps.
