well I would love to help but that is not a question. it's not even a sentence.

Place map file on as card and rename it gmapsupp.Img. the map should be unlocked first. So download caefully

if the above doesn't work then unplug the garmin and let the battery drain out. the put the power source back in and it should work fine(unplug may take up to 3 hous depending on how charged your battery was.

To calibrate the StreetPilot c-Series touchscreen, follow these steps: Begin with the device turned off and unplugged from a power source Power the device on and continue to hold the power button for 1 minute Release the power button when the screen displays "Press Dot" Accurately touch the dots as they appear The dots will change location A stylus or pencil eraser may be used to accurately touch the dots Touch OK when the "Calibration Complete" appears The touchscreen is now calibrated.

Your Garmin GPS has an internal memory or an SD-card that contains an "operating system" and "map data".The operating system is like windows or Mac OSX. It contains the menu and everything the GPS displays. The "map data" is a digital roadmap the GPS uses to calculate your route. If the map data was on a SD-card that was inserted in your GPS, it could me that you lost the SD-card. That could be the reason your GPS can't find the map data. Sometimes it happens that when people connect their GPS to a computer to update the "operating system" of the GPS something goes wrong. For example, when you disconnect your GPS from the computer while the update software is still writing data to your device, the connection gets lost and you're left with corrupt files on the GPS. It could also be a defect in the internal memory of the GPS. I suggest you try to update the operating system with a program called "Garmin Express" (just google and easy find it). You need to connect the GPS to your computer with a USB cable. Then you can perform an update. I hope it helps to solve your problem. What you could also try is to soft reset your GPS. To do that, you need to remove the silver or blue frame around the screen of the GPS (it pops off). Behind this border there is a reset button.If the map data is completely gone, and you don't have a backup there is only one solution: Buy the latest map for your GPS online and download it to your GPS. It's expensive. In that case it's better to buy a new device in a shop. Most new devices contain Lifetime online map updates (model name nuvi -then the number - LM or LMT) (LM= Lifetime Mapupdates T= Traffic information) Then you can update your map data every three months if you want.

You should be able to update the system software for free but not the maps. With newer Garmins they give one free map update in the first six months, after that there is a charge. On some models they have LMT or LM after the model number which means it has lifetime free map and traffic updates. The LMT models usually cost more but are cheaper than paying for map updates.
You can update your system software if you have a usb cable for it, then download Garmin updater. I will attach a link to the Garmin site.

Register your Garmin at MyGarmin.com - from here Garmin guides you to download the webbrowser plugin to communicate with your Garmin StreetPilot C330 over a USB cable.

When your Garmin StreetPilot C330 is connected through your webbrowser - it will show compatible map updates. These can be ordered on DVD or downloaded.

Note that downloading the map update will take a very long time and requires at least 5 Gb of disk space on your PC/Mac. The internet connection needs to be fast and stable enough to complete the huge download. Otherwise its better to order the update through DVD.

If you contact Garmin support and give your name and serial number off the unit they will be able to help you. I have attached the link below to the Garmin support.

I will say in my experience with Garmin,they have the best solution center(tech support),www.garmin.com
