Anyone else have the Garmin Nuvi 650 and having problems with it.
We had ours with us this weekend and it worked maybe 5 minutes of the 2 hour trip. On the way home it never once worked.

Here is what it is doing...
When you turn it on it say's updating software with a % sign. Then stops at 0% and loads maps. Then it never gets a satellite signal. The whole trip down there it was "Acquiring Satellite Signal" and the one time it did get signal it only lasted 3 minutes.

Anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it?

What is the deal with this. I have called garmin and been on hold for 40minutes. I am about to pull my hair out!

Edit- Yes I have done a master reset and it still won't track satellites.

In My Opinion
I have the 260, it never misses anything.
I can even put it in the center console and it tracks.

I was on hold for 1hr then finally got through and they walked me through the software update and all was good for about 3 minutes, then I shut it down and restarted it and would you know. Nothing worked!!! URGHHHH,,,

Ok so I called back and was on hold for 33 minutes this time and when I got through explained what was going on and then they asked me a few questions and told me to do a few things and still nothing so here is the end result!

They are sending me a RMA via email and I am shipping this unit back to them and they are mailing me a brand new one!

The problem is covered under warranty and being that it's less than a year old they are just going to replace this one with a new one!
