How do I restore all settings to factory defaults on my Garmin DriveAssist


To restore all settings to factory defaults on your Garmin DriveAssist, follow these steps:

1. Select "Settings" on your device.

2. If necessary, select a settings category.

3. Select the menu option (usually represented by three dots or lines).

4. Choose "Restore" from the menu[1].

This process will reset all settings to their factory default values. It's important to note that this option does not delete any user data[2].

If you want to completely reset your device, including deleting all user data and restoring factory settings, you have a more comprehensive option:

1. Select the Settings icon.

2. Choose "Delete Data and Reset Settings"[2].

This option will delete all user data, including saved locations, recently found locations, and travel history. However, it will not delete installed maps[2].

Keep in mind that resetting to factory defaults will erase your personalized settings, so you may need to reconfigure your preferences after the reset. If you're experiencing issues with your device, this reset can often resolve them by clearing any problematic settings or data.
