Like most complex technology, GPS units are not immune to system errors and crashes that cause the device to stop functioning properly. Fortunately for Magellan owners, the GPS devices can easily and quickly be restored to the original operating condition. Restore your GPS to the factory settings and resolve any issues you are experiencing. The restore process is also useful before you sell the GPS or pass it on to another user.
