Crack nuvi 760

I don't want to try it because I'd then have to drive to my security location to reset, if it does work. If the video showed someone using there gps with a lock code and then showing how a reset would clear it might be more believable. Users who forget there lock code or security location as of yet have the only option of sending it to Garmin for repair. It looks to me that what he did was wipe out the user data.

Which is what the lock is supposed to protect. So even though he could use the unit, he no longer had access to the private data that was on the unit. I didn't see the screen that asks for a pass word!!!!! The video didn't show me more than what the rest have stated above.

Not worried about thiefs.. The GPS are cheap enough to replace anyway. I dont't keep valuable info on mine. Try on my nuvit. Will email garmin if there are flaw in security pin. It will only erase the user data not the pin lock. You bring up a very good point. If ones home location is indeed their home at least it will not be compromised when the user data is wiped.

The person will be out of the unit and not have to worry about their home being robbed. You should be able to track your unit by your serial number through google maps or live maps.

So in the event it was stolen you could find exactly where it is or be able to give the serial number to the police and they could track it for you like a lo-jack. I was under the impression that a GSPr does not transmit location coordinates. Am I missing something? The "r" in GPSr stands for "receiver". It doesn't send anything. The video is only showing how to reset everything to factory defaults.

I tried it on my and was still prompted for the password for unlocking it at start up. I set my security location for about feet from my font door to avoid unlocking it by location.

Even from the back of the house the weak satellite reception makes my perceived location move around. I watch the video mutiple times but still don't see any proof that shows Garmin lock is rendered useless. Youtube video uploader doesn't even mention anything about Garmin lock. I know that at some point, the video shows "Garmin Lock" option is Off. Where's the proof that it was On before the reset? Aren't we all assuming that the lock gets bypassed or erased with this maintenance mode trick.

I reset my and it still asked for the pin. I have not watched the video though but I did do a reset and the thing indeed asked for the pin.

This is about 2 years. Not sure if the newer versions are able to bypass that. I think were still safe. I saw nothing to show me he unlocked a locked unit. But im sure if there is a will there will allways be a way. I had Nuvi which recently do an on-line update. Thanks for the test.

So I've concluded that OP thread title is misleading. It should've said anything but "how to crack Garmin lock". I would be upset if the locking pin could be worked around by some simple reset. It could be done by adding code to Mapsource to capture the last location, home location, and serial of the unit and send it to Garmin over the internet, if that computer is connected to it Garmin could then compare it against a list of known stolen units reported by their owners and send them a email Strangers things have happened You should always inform Garmin if your Nuvi is stolen.

You should have gotten a number to register it with Garmin will unlock the map for you.. I had the exact same problem with my I called Garmmin and a very pleasant tech rep asked if I had registered the Ta Da!!! I removed the SD card and the Nuvi fired right up perfectly. Nuvi fired up just as it's supposed to.

I was on the phone with Garmin for maybe, 10 minutes and problem resolved. Good on ya, Garmin! Hope this helps. I've been able to hook it up to my computer via the USB cable and can see the files but don't know which ones might contain the favorites. If anyone could help it would be appreciated. It should work the same for your I had seen the current. I'll copy it over to the and see if that works. I'll post a reply when I know something.

Thanks for your help. As one person pointed out in the thread.
