You need to have your Garmin Nvi turned off. Place the unit in front of you with the touchscreen facing you. Look over to the top left corner is a three way slide switch: Off (left), On (middle), Lock (right). Go ahead and familiarize yourself with the switch. There are two symbols, the one to the right is a pad lock symbol, which is your lock position.
Hold your finger on the middle of the touchscreen. Note the power switch is still on the middle position, this is okay as long as the unit is still off, the screen should be black.
With your finger on the middle of the touchscreen, turn the unit on (slide switch to left) and immediately slide the power switch to the right (Lock position). After this step, you will see the Garmin logo. Continue to hold your finger on the touchscreen for about one minute or so until the calibration screen appears.
Follow the on-screen instructions. Where it says "Press dot" press them as precise as you can with your finger tips. (Switch is still on the lock position).
When you see on the screen "Calibration complete" touch "OK." Slide the power button to the middle to unlock the screen (middle position). Congratulations, you have calibrated the touchscreen of your Garmin Nvi.
And for those who are new to GPS products always remember to read the product safety information and operating instructions. Never get distracted by the unit while driving and always be fully aware of all driving conditions. Do not input destination, change settings, or access any functions requiring prolonged use of the unit's controls while driving.
I believe other GarminGPSsystems have the same process calibrating their touchscreen. The only difference is that you might have to hold your finger at a different area of the touchscreen. To all otherGPSsystems there are links to their product support printed on the product manual.
Just remember always, be a safe driver and abide the laws and rules of the state/country your in. BUCKLE UP! You only got one life.
