APPENDIX
Using the nüvi Indoors
Close the antenna to turn off GPS and use your nüvi indoors. Use this setting when you are practicing
using the unit or using the Travel Kit features, such as using the MP3 player.
Using a Remote Antenna
You can use an optional external remote antenna (Garmin GA 27C). This is very helpful when operating
the unit in a vehicle with a coated windshield or an in-screen (in the window) heating system, which can
block GPS signals. Connect the antenna to the connector located on the back of the nüvi. To purchase, go
to the Garmin Web site at http://www.garmin.com/products/nuvi and select the Accessories link.
Changing the Fuse
An AGC/3AG 2 Amp, high-breaking capacity, 1500 A-rated fuse is located at
the tip of the vehicle adapter. Periodically, you may need to change the fuse.
Unscrew the black, round end piece and replace the fuse.
Charging the nüvi
You can charge the nüvi using the USB cable (see page 17) or the 12/24-Volt car adapter connected to the
suction mount.
Updating the nüvi Software
Garmin periodically updates its software and map data. If you register your unit, you will receive
notification of software and map updates. To see if an update to the nüvi’s system software is available, go
to http://www.garmin.com/products/nuvi and select Software Updates. To see if an update for your
map software is available, go to http://www.garmin.com/unlock/update.jsp.
