Hi there,

If the screen is frozen, the first thing that I would try is doing a hard reset on the unit and then loading on the latest firmware for the unit.

Doing a hard reset will unfortunately lose quite a bit of the data on the unit, but it does free up memory and usually allows you to get started again.

It's also possible that after a hard reset that you may have to reload the maps onto the unit so make sure that you have a copy of the unlock code for the unit to hand

To hard reset the 2820, do the following:

Hold down the Map and Menu buttons when the unit is off and switch on the unit.

The latest Garmin firmware for this unit is about a year old and is available here:
Garmin: StreetPilot 2820 Software Update Collection

HTH,

David
