Garmin NUVI-56LM user manual

Yes, the Garmin Nuvi series has been discontinued by the company. They have stopped producing and selling new units of the Nuvi line. However, existing units can still be purchased from third-party sellers or refurbished models may be available.

There could be a few reasons why your Garmin Nuvi-56LM keeps turning off. Here are some possible causes:
1. Low battery: If the device's battery is low, it may automatically shut down to conserve power. Ensure that your device is adequately charged and try using it while connected to the power source to see if it still shuts off.
2. Loose or faulty power connection: Check if the power cable is securely connected to the device. If it is loose or damaged, it might lead to intermittent power loss and result in the device turning off. Try using a different power cable or securely connect the existing one.
3. Overheating: Garmin devices can sometimes overheat, especially if they are exposed to direct sunlight for an extended period or being used in high-temperature environments. If the device gets too hot, it may shut down to protect itself. Ensure that you are using the device within its recommended temperature range or try to keep it cool while using it.
4. Software issues: Sometimes, software glitches or outdated firmware can cause the device to shut down unexpectedly. Updates released by Garmin may address these issues, so ensure that your device's software is up to date. Visit the Garmin website to check for any available updates for your specific device model.
If the problem persists even after trying the above solutions, it may indicate a hardware problem. In such cases, it would be advisable to reach out to Garmin customer support for further assistance or take your device to an authorized service center.
