I just purchased a NUIVI 1390T and on several occasions already it seemed to get lost and stopped giving directions. Even after upgrading the software and charging the latest maps, it gave me a wrong direction, telling me to turn into a dead end street, after which it started indicating that I was driving off the road. Is this symptomatic of a faulty unit or just normal?
Master Reset On The Nuvi® 2xx, 2x5, 465, 5xx, 6xx, 7xx Or 1xxx
I came across this info cruising the web and thought I would update the reset post with the information for other nuvis besides the 8xx line.
- Master Reset on the nuvi® 2xx, 2x5, 465, 5xx, 6xx, 7xx or 1xxx:

Continue touching and holding the lower right hand corner of the screen then power the unit ON 4. Release the power button when the device powers ON * You will see a new message: Do you really want to erase all user data? 5. Remove your finger from the touchscreen when this message displays 6.

The device will automatically reset. Please follow the on screen prompts on the nüvi and when completed place your device in an area with a clear view of the sky until it acquires satellites.
