Update for Garmin nuvi 200

I have a garmin nuvi 200 & would like to update the maps. The sat nav unit itself is about 3 years old. I have visited the Garmin website & was shocked to see the price of updates. Is there any cheap (free) way of getting updates? I live in the UK & would like UK or Europe maps.
Thanks in advance Mark

I have a garmin nuvi sat nav which is just over a year old when unit is turned on all that shows on screen is the name garmin loading maps flashing on and off

Did you try a reset. Turn off the unit. Hold the bottom right side of the screen and turn the GPS back on. It will make you confirm you want to reset. It will clear out all you favorites etc.. so copy them first if needed. Then I would go to the Garmin site a register and update the unit. See if this works
I will attach Garmins contact info. Thanks for using FixYa.

Need to update the maps

Garmin Sat Navs do this when the map is one year old. It can be updated by going to the Garmin website www.garmin.com. Connect your Satnav to your pc and register it if you have not already. The site will lead you to your update which can be downloaded if you have broadband or posted on DVD if you prefer. It is expensive so you need to consider if it's worth updating or not.

Have accidently wiped mapping from garmin sat nav

I can help you fix your Garmin Nuvi 200.

The error message you are receiving about maps is actually a sign of a firmware corruption problem, which just happens from time to time with electronic devices. Updating the firmware of your nuvi will replace the corrupt firmware.

These are the steps to take to update your Nuvi 200:

Download and then run Garmin 200 WebUpdater to replace its firmware / system software. Occasionally a nuvi 200 will also need a Hard Reset (preceded by a favorites backup) to bring it back to 100% operation.


I hope that helps.

Can i download free maps for my 2year old garminnuvi200 satnav and from which site

You can update mapping software on most sat nav units to take into account alterations to the road network. Either from your PC, in the case of portable sat navs; or via your phones GPRS connection, in the case of phone models. Always check the level of mapping that comes with your equipment in the first place. Is it up-to-date?
. Every couple of years Garmin will release a map update, which you can get on DVD or download - you've got to pay for it though!

Is there a free update for the garmin nuvi 200?

I know I've tried. You either live with the old map or but the latest version.
I bought the life time maps updates and I'm glad I did.
I've updated my maps at least 6 times.
New maps are about $70.
Life time maps are about $99 (when I bought mine)
BUT FIRST make SURE you have the latest software in YOUR computer and in YOUR Garmin before you load any maps.
You can get that FREE at Garmin here:


Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 To download the latest unit software visit Garmin website: www.garmin.com/webupdater
After installing WebUpdater once from the Garmin website, perform all future software updates from your computer. Simply connect your compatible Garmin device to your computer, then run WebUpdater from your computer's "Start Menu" by selecting "Start", "Programs", "Garmin", and finally "WebUpdater"
REMEMBER: It takes hours to do a complete a map update.
Unless you bought the Lifetime maps you may have to pay for current maps.

I want to update my navi 250 for free, any ideas?

The only way to get a map update cheaper would be to buy the lifetime update, which lets you update your unit up to 4 times/year (by downloads from their homepage) for a fix sum only slighly more expansiver than the regular update.
By doing more than one update however, the price per update is almost half of just buying an onetime update.
