Hi everyone im new to the forum and appreciate any advise you have to offer. My gps is several yrs old but I have never had a problem with it. Yesterday the battery was charged so I used it instead of the car charger now I can't even get it to come on. I have tried to plug it up to charge thinking the battery may have went dead and nothing happins. What should I do?

Try plugging it into your computer via USB and let it charge overnight. I've heard of some totally dead Garmin Nuvis being "brought back to life" this way. Something about the lower current with USB versus using the car charger with a really dead battery. Also, unscrew the tip of the charger where it goes into the cigarette lighter. There is a fuse in there...check to see it isn't blown...
