Where may I update my
Garmin offers two kinds of updates on its website: software updates are free. Map updates are not. You'll need a USB cable to connect the Garmin to your computer. Then go to http://www.garmin.com
On the web site, first register your product. Then look for "Support" and follow their instructions for updating your software. After you've done that, look for "Maps" on the menu at the top of the screen. You can either purchase updates one at a time, or buy a lifetime (of your device) subscription. By the way, maps are huge files, so plan on it taking several hours to update your maps even with a fast internet connection.

Hello
You have a failure of the touch screen assembly most likely, this means the unit must be sent back to Garmin for repair, there is nothing the user can do to fix the problem, you can't even open the GPS to replace a battery, it is a sealed unit. Here is the problem, it will cost more to repair this than to just replace the GPS. I am a long time Garmin GPS owner and know this 1st hand.
Bought a universal home charger from Halfords to
Check to see if the charger is working, just touch it on your tongue and expect quite a tingle if itis working. Check the polarity ( + and - position) of the charger against the polarity that the GPS requires. The universal chargers sometimes have a change-over switch and the GPS may be marked or the book will tell you what the polarity should be. You cna otherwise test it with a multimeter set on the 20 volt scale. You should be able to purchase a USB connection form any good computer store, just take your GPS with to make sure you get the correct plug,

I think your maps should include USA AND Canada.
Have you tried entering a US address and see if it calculates a route?

I own a Garmin also once a year you will get that message to updater your maps on your unit. If you go to www.garmin.com they will sell you the new CD's for your unit. The CD's you purchase will install on your computer first, then connect your unit to your computer to update your maps. The software pretty much walks you through it. I hope this helps you out and if so please leave me some feedback.

firstly the reason it cant see corresponding countries is that the garmin units treat each map as seperate , the only way to rectify it is to copy the maps folder from your device to your pc then delete the maps from your device and then download the western europe whole map, doing it this way will give you the space you require plus it will allow you to choose any of the countries in the map

Hello,
You may notice this when traveling long distances with the unit, just because the unit has to relocate the satellites. if you are noticing this when at home your GPS receiver may be dying out and the unit may have to be sent in for warranty or repair.

Ive bought a 250w from ebay, the sat nav has a pin
Unless the buyer can send you the original receipt you are out of luck.
You have to send it to Garmin with the original receipt to get the PIN reset. This is to prevent stolen units from being resold. If you are unable to find the original receipt you may be able to sell parts of the device (screen, chargers, etc) or ask for a refund from the buyer you purchased it from. Hope this helps you out.

does not reset Garmin Lock security feature, which password-protect most
Garmin electronic devices to deter theft.
If the seller doesn't have the pin or has forgotten the PIN or
password unlock code to unlock the Garmin unit, the best solution is to
bring it to Garmin to get unlocked.
In summary, it is onlt Garmin that can unlock this GPS....
Good luck.
