Locking Your nüvi
Garmin Lock is a theft-deterrent
system that locks your nüvi. Each
time you turn on the nüvi, enter the
PIN or drive to the security location.

What is a Security Location?
Notice
If you forget your PIN and your
security location, you must send your
nüvi to Garmin to get it unlocked.
You must also send a valid product
registration or proof of purchase.
Your security location should be a
location you return to often, such as
your home. If the nüvi has satellite
signals and you are at the security
location, you do not need to enter
the PIN.
