System software missing Oregon 550T USB inaccessible.
I can't manage it, I've been busy for hours and days with all the tips, but I can use the mentioned program Updater.exe and I have also seen other program names that you have to put on your SD card of max 32 MB in the folder with Name GARMIN, after which the system software should start again from the SD card, for this you still have to turn it off - remove the batteries, insert them, connect the USB, put your nail in the top right corner, but without a program I can't get anywhere. Because it does not recognize the USB, I cannot use the web updater, which also means that Garmin Express is out of the game. Who oh who can help me further?
===============================================
Download and use Garmin Express as a clean install. Use the Web Updater. Make sure the Device is registered on the Garmin website. I am on my third Garmin Auto GPS and never had a unit that couldn't be reset or updated.

How to prevent Drive52 continually resetting itself ?
By 'resetting' you mean it switches off, and because it is connected to power, it boots back up. Do you have a SD Card in it?
I had trouble with a Nuvi 1350 with SD Card that had the whole USA Map on it, mine came with the Canada Map only. It would randomly turn off, so I decided to buy a Factory Refurbished Drive 50. I removed the SD Card and Reset the Nuvi and it worked perfectly after that.
The Drive 50 was also a bit flaky, and resetting fixed that as well.
You can back up your Favourites beforehand.

I have the Garmin etrex 20x and wish to calibrate the compass
I recently purchased a Garmin GPSMAP 78s
I had a lot of trouble calibrating the compass; I literally tried it hundreds of times without success. I also did a hard reset etc etc. Believe me I definitely tried everything possible but to no avail
I did contact Garmin but they didn't have an answer straight away for the problem
I have now sorted it as follows:
Do each step VERY SLOWLY, MUCH slower than you think you should
There are three steps to go through in calibrating the compass 1)Spinning the whole unit around flat 2)Flipping it over longitudinally and then 3) Flipping it over end to end. But remember do each step VERY slowly and go to the next step when prompted by the unit
This solved my issue. I can now calibrate my compass 9 out of 10 attempts
Hope that helps

Garmin nuvi 50LM cant access on mtp settings
To open the MTP settings on your Garmin Nuvi 50LM, you will need to access the device's menu. From the main menu, select the "Settings" option and then select the "System" option. From there, you should be able to access the MTP settings. If you are still unable to access the settings, you may need to contact the manufacturer for assistance.

Go to
https://my.garmin.com/maps/checkPlugin_updates.htm and download the map install application. Follow all the onscreen instructions and connect the GPS to your computer when told to do so. You will now be able to purchase the new maps. If you have never updated your maps before Garmin usually lets you have a free map upgrade for the first time. You will also need to register your GPS with Garmin to get the free upgrade.
Thanks for using Fixya. Hope this works. Let me know if you have any problems.
Does the garmin nuvi 200 have free map updates
Use the Garmin Express program from Garmin. Down load and install the program, then connect your GPS to your PC. The program will identify your GPS and tell you of any available map and software updates.
Garmin 120 wont turn on
Hi Earl,
Sometime it could just be of aging. I have a 130, it was having similar problems, until i realized it was the screen not showing, but power on turning on. In your case, I probably probably try a hard factory reset as follows:
To perform a master reset:
- Turn off the device.
- Press the PAGE, ENTER2, and POWER buttons simultaneously.
- Release all buttons once the Do you really want to erase all user data? message appears.
- Select Yes.
hope this helps!

How do i reset my garmin 205w ?
If you have a Garmin purchased well before 2019 dont do a full reset unless you really need to. This will reboot the system and you may fall foul of the 2019 GPS rollover. My unit was from 2015 and after a reset in 2022 the date was very wrong and nobody has a fix for it for satnavs just GPS units with an RS232 connector.

You can get that FREE at Garmin here:
To download the latest unit
software visit Garmin website: www.garmin.com/webupdater
First you have to set up an account at Garmin using
the serial number on your GPS. Once you do that you can download firmware
update for free.
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.
By the way, the correct Garmin approved power
OR download cables are a must!!
Does this help? Let us know. Thanks.
