Magellan Road Ate Not Coming On When I Turn My Car On

Typically when I turn my car on my Magellan GPS comes on. For the past month when I turn my car on the GPS does not come on and I have to manually turn it on every time. sorry i do not see a model number  on the gps ( the letters are to small)  it looks like it says  1230 or 1220?   i have read a few reviews that say to push the reset button but I do not see a reset button on this model any suggestions
