Occasionally, a GPS unit will need to be reset. This can be due to software errors, firmware updates or simply at the command of technical support staff. A reset either will restart the unit, possibly clearing up any minor errors, or will restore the unit to the settings it was built with. There are three major Magellan GPS units, which utilize different methods to perform this task.
Instructions
Triton GPS Unit
1. Using the stylus, tap "Main Menu" and select "View."
2. Tap "Settings," and select "Restore Factory Settings." You will be given the option to confirm this action. Be sure that you want to reset to the settings that the GPS was built with. This action is irreversible.
3. Tap "Confirm," and the unit will begin to reset.
Maestro/Roadmate GPS Units
4. Locate the button marked "Reset" on the left, right or bottom of the unit.
5. Using a thin object, such as a paper clip, depress the button for two to three seconds. The unit should reset.
6. If the unit does not reset, immediately press the button again and hold it for up to 10 seconds.
