Mounting the nüvi on the Windshield

Check your state and local trafc laws before mounting. Currently, state laws in California and Minnesota prohibit
drivers from using suction mounts on their windshields while operating motor vehicles. Other Garmin dashboard or friction mounting options should be used. See the Important Safety and Product Information guide for more details.
If you want to mount the nüvi on your dashboard instead, see page 55.
To mount the nüvi using the suction cup mount:
1. Plug the power cable into the back of the mount. Plug the other end into a 12­Volt receptacle in your vehicle.
2. Clean and dry your windshield and the suction cup with a lint-free cloth. Place the suction cup on the windshield.
3. Flip the lever back, toward the windshield.
4. Flip up the GPS antenna. Fit the bottom of your nüvi into the cradle.
5. Tilt the nüvi back until it snaps into place.
Windshield
If you use an external microphone (optional), plug it into the right side of the cradle.
To remove your nüvi from the cradle, press the small tab on the bottom of the cradle up, and tilt the nüvi forward.

route, you must do the following:
1. Go outdoors to an open area, away from tall buildings and trees.
2. Flip up the GPS antenna on the back of the nüvi, so that it is parallel to the ground.
3. Turn on the nüvi. Acquiring satellite signals can take a few minutes.
The bars indicate satellite strength. When the bars are green, the nüvi has acquired satellite signals; now you can select a destination and navigate to it. To use the nüvi indoors, close the GPS antenna.
