Try this first - please note with the second 'hard' reset below you will loose all stored data - it is a 'factory reset'.

Press and hold the "Out" function and then press and hold the "Power" button until the "I Agree" message comes up. This only resets the satellite locating function and you should not loose any data.

If that doesn't help try this:

Press and hold the "Quit" button, the "Out" button and then the "Power" button. Hold all three down for 15 seconds. This is like re-booting your computer and you will loose all stored way-points, routes etc.
