Hi,
Apologize is for the inconvenience, the chat got disconnected.
The contact number for navigon is :

Try resetting the device as follows.

Turn off the unit by holding the power button for 10 seconds.

Remove and reinsert the memory card.

Turn the unit on and wait for it to reboot (may take 40 seconds or more).

push the reset button on the side of the system (a paperclip works well for this). Also, remove the card and put in again. If this doesn't work go to Navigons website and make sure you've downloaded all the software updates. Make sure your unit is fully charged as well. Don't waste your time emailing Navigon's CS online help....I attempted to contact them on 3 separate occassions and never got a response. Good luck. Hope one of my work-arounds helps you.

Thanks.

You will need to replace the battery. Either you can buy one of garmin website or you can use a third party website. Be careful of using those because some of those batteries are refurbish.

Do you still need this? I could scan it & email it to you

i assume you dont have the Manual and since no one has tried to help you yet, you can get your manual HERE

im not familiar with this model so i could only help with a copy of the manual for your unit.

i could read it and describe to you how to do it but its better if you read and then youll have the whole manual incase you need to refer to it again.

dont for get to save it to your computer or save the url somewhere.

does yours have a memory card slot on the right side? if so u can upgrade that memory card and transfer the info from the old to the new by putting the info on a computer with a card reader then putting the info from the computer to the new bigger memory card. i would get like more than double the current memory. cards are fairly cheap these days.

The mapping op system/software has become corrupted and needs to be reinstalled
Resetting is unlikely to fix this problem, especially as the autorun which is the loading section of the underlyiong operating system.

There may be many reasons why this has occured. A magnetic influence from a mobile phone, Leaving the GPS in a hot car Writing music or photos to any SD card that contains the mapping software, for those models that do use them as the source of maps.The latter is not supposed to happen but does on occasion.

When you turn on the autorun is invoked it sets a reserved amount of memory to start up the system However the corruption has affected this fubction and filled the buffer with zeros ot junk

Is this a new unit under warranty? If so take it to the seller to have it repaired. It is not a DIY.
