Sign in and update your password or phone number

To reach your Garmin account, open {site} and choose the sign-in option. Enter the email address connected to the account and your current password. A search result or page labeled “log me in.com” is not the Garmin sign-in page, so do not enter your account details there.

If you forgot the password, select the password-reset option on the sign-in screen. Check the inbox for the email address you entered, including its spam or junk folder. Use only the newest reset message because an older one may no longer work. If no message arrives, check the spelling of the email address and try again.

After signing in, open the account or profile settings to make an account password update or phone number update. Save the change and complete any verification step shown. If you cannot access the old email address or verification method, contact Garmin support and have the device details and account email ready. Do not create another account unless support directs you to do so, since the device or order may be associated with the original account.

Update your location when the device shows the wrong place

A location update is different from a map update. Maps provide road and place information, while the device calculates its current location from satellite signals.

To update your location, take the device outdoors with a clear view of the sky. Keep it still and allow time for it to find satellites, especially after a long period without use or after traveling a great distance while it was turned off.

  • Move away from garages, tall buildings, heavy tree cover, and coated windshields that may block signals.
  • Confirm that location or GPS mode is enabled in the device settings.
  • Restart the device if the location does not change.
  • Check that the date, time, and region shown by the device are reasonable.

If the position remains wrong after the device has had a clear outdoor view, note the model name, the place it displays, and the place where you actually are before contacting support.

Check an outage or update a tracking number

If sign-in, downloads, or account pages suddenly stop working, first switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data if both are available. Then retry in a private browser window or after restarting the browser. If several Garmin features fail on more than one connection or device, check Garmin’s service-status information or support notices for an outage update. During a confirmed outage, repeated password resets usually will not help; wait for the service notice to show recovery.

For an order, the tracking number normally appears in the shipment message or order details after the carrier receives the package information. Sign in through {site}, open the relevant order, and compare its latest tracking number with the one in the shipment message.

You generally cannot update tracking numbers yourself. If a replacement tracking number is issued, use the newest shipment message or order entry and disregard the earlier number. If tracking has not changed, allow time for the carrier’s first scan. Contact support when the number belongs to the wrong order, is rejected after carrier scanning should have started, or your order details show conflicting numbers. Have the order reference, account email, and the tracking number ready.
