    Default Nuvi Freeze - Master Reset

    Had my Nuvi 1490T lose satellites in a rather long tunnel (Lane Cove) over the weekend, it then froze & when I emerged from the tunnel it still said "Acquiring Satellites" ten minutes later.
    It was completely locked up & not responding to any touch screen contact.
    I reached my destination, anyway, turned the vehicle off but the Nuvi didn't power off as usual so I hit the off button.
    When I returned to the vehicle the Nuvi didn't power back on, so hit the power button, no go.Tried holding the power button on for while still no go, so I disconnected the power cable & started to do a Master Reset, that is, pressing the lower right of the screen while holding the power button on until it boots up, then continue holding until "Erase all user data?" appears.
    I actually released my hold when it booted up so didn't get the message or a full reset & therefore didn't lose any settings or user data.
    The Nuvi did however start up, acquired satellites, I plugged the power cord back in & it worked perfectly for the rest of my stay in Stormy Sydney.
    It even lost satellite in the Sydney harbor Tunnel on the way to the airport & still worked fine when emerging.
    So its all good now, just thought I'd share this with everyone in case it happens to you.
