    Have you got v3.50 fw? It had shutdown issues. From the Garmin changelog:

    Changes made from version 3.50 to 3.60:

    Fixed issues that could potentially cause memory corruptions and unit shutdowns.
    Upgrade to current v3.90 if you have an earlier version but 1690 is region specific so make sure you use the correct region fw. See [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

    HI Neil
    Checked "Garmin Device! ...........PartNumber>006-B1132-00</PartNumber><SoftwareVersion>390</
    SoftwareVersion><Description>nüvi 1690</Description>

    So I used Garmin Cure to install Original GCD from your earlier link (nuvi16xxEU_regionfileonly__390.gcd)

    Everything installed Ok , But the shutdown still occurs when I press "System"

    Tried pressing all other icons and it's OK ,just the System icon which has the problem

    Yeah, the 1690 is a flaky bit of i'm afraid. I just turned mine on .. it ... sat ..... there .... sulking ...... forever saying 'Loading Maps'. So i forced it off. Sticking on loading maps like that is usually a sign that the unit is bricked. But not the mighty 1690, it just has a mind of it's own. Next press of the on button and it happily booted up.

    Try clearing NV. Go to Map screen, press 'Speed' > press and hold the Speedometer for ~6 seconds > Developer Info > Nonvol Available > Clear Nonvol > Yes. A little more comprehensive than a hard reset so worth a try. Or throw it at a wall, either is good ...... ['cos it's just a piece of cr*p!]

    PS: Don't actually throw it at a wall, wall damage may result.

    No, that is normal after a hard reset/clear nonvol. Put it in simulation mode and then it will show 0 kmh or 0 mph. Mine also shows -20m elevation at present [oh but it were]. Mate, sorry but these really are flaky units, numerous resets/clear non-vol may help it or you could try opening the unit and disconnecting the battery for a while.

    Try flashing the logo bin to the 1695 [16.bin]. I don't have it and i don't think it's been posted in the logo thread: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

    Post a request for it over there.

    Try to delete all files from Nuvi then create an empty folder named Garmin "Backup first of course" and see if something changes.
    In other words boot the Nuvi empty to eliminate a corrupt file.
