Garmin nuvi 205W GPS Receiver Questions & Answers
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.

Car charger for nuvi 205w
The Garmin Chargers use a 1A 5x20mm glass fuse in the tip.
The DC output of the charger is +5VDC @ 1A. The 1A rating is the max rating and your Nuvi should draw less than 1A under normal conditions.
You would not want to put a 3A in there because if there is a short in the Nuvi, you want the fuse to blow quickly. A 3A fuse is too high in value.

Re-install both the maps and main software through Garmin Express and your PC. Probably more than once or twice before it "takes".
