The security location is encoded into the device's encrypted non-volatile memory along with its 4 numeral PIN code. To get it to unlock at a previous security location, you need to drive to, or very very close to, the actual location. Have the device on before you get there and importantly that it's receiving an accurate and reliable GPS fix. You may even need to take it out of the car to physically get it as close as possible to your old residence.
If you're unable to get it to unlock by trying again as above, then [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] with every bit of evidence you have that it's legally yours and if i'm satisfied i'll help you unlock it by finding its PIN.

Avoiding Theft
To avoid theft, remove the unit
and mount from sight when not
in use. Remove the residue left
on the windshield by the suction
cup.
Do not keep your unit in the
glove compartment.
Register your product at
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ].
Use the Garmin Lock feature. See
below for more information.
Locking Your nüvi
Garmin Lock is a theft-deterrent
system that locks your nüvi. Each
time you turn on the nüvi, enter the
PIN or drive to the security location.
1. Touch Tools > Settings >
Security.
2. Touch the button below Garmin
Lock.
3. Enter a 4-digit PIN and drive to a
security location.
What is a Security Location?
Notice
If you forget your PIN and your
security location, you must send your
nüvi to Garmin to get it unlocked.
You must also send a valid product
registration or proof of purchase.
Your security location should be a
location you return to often, such as
your home. If the nüvi has satellite
signals and you are at the security
location, you do not need to enter
the PIN
Other than that there is no way to unlock your Garmin.........Last edited by asprin624; 7th February 2025 at 06:36 PM.
