Getting Started Finding Places Saving Places
This guide provides short instructions for various nüvi operations. Fold and keep this guide in the pocket of your nüvi carrying case.
WARNING: See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the
product box for product warnings and other important information.
Turning the nüvi On or Off
Press and hold the Power button on the top of the nüvi.
Mounting on the Windshield
Check your state and local traffic 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.
Charging the nüvi
To charge the nüvi, use one of the following methods:
12/24-Volt vehicle adapter.
● Connect the USB cable to the nüvi and your computer.
● Connect the AC adapter to the nüvi and a wall outlet
(included with the nüvi 660).
Acquiring Satellites
Before the nüvi can find your current location and navigate a 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.
GPS Antenna Up
(Parallel to the Ground)
To remove the nüvi from the cradle, press the small tab on the bottom of the cradle up, and tilt the top of the nüvi forward.
Do not leave your GPS unit exposed in an unattended vehicle on a hot day. To prevent damage, remove it from the vehicle; or store it out of direct sunlight, such as in the glove box. See the specifications in the owner’s manual.
