It sounds like it has lost satellite reception to know where you are in Canada. Please see this link:

Also make sure that the map is checked on the map info screen.

Why my receiver does not work in Canada

If your GPS is bought in USA or Canada, it is impossible for the receiver not working. If you can't find a place in Canada, may be you can check again if the address you key in with the country "Canada" first. Some GPS needs you to put in the Country name first. Good luck.

The only maps on my GP is Canada and bordering states everything else is gone, I am travelling the USA and it does not recognize Arizona, even the map screen does not show any streets. When trying to put...

You need to replace the map with a full map of the US and Canada. Did you register your unit with the Garmin website? Did you create an account? If so, you can log in and see if you can download a larger map. Otherwise you will need to purchase a new map. I can also help you with this issue but it would require for me to have your unit in front of me to do it.

I am in Ontario and I cannot get an address in for Amherst Buffalo NY can't get it to change to USA

  • Press WHERE TO
  • Press ADDRESS
At the top of the screen you'll see the country you're in i.e. Canada. At the bottom you'll see CHANGE COUNTRY. Press CHANGE COUNTRY and select USA. You should then be able to enter the USA address.

If that does not work check that you have a map of the USA on the satnav. Press TOOLS, SETTINGS, MAPS. At the bottom of the screen press MAP INFO and it will show you the maps you have. If the USA is there but not ticked press it to tick it and then it should work. If it does not show the USA then it's not on the satnav. I hope this solves your problem.

How do I set Canandian addresses

You don't say where you are. I'm presuming that you're in the USA and have a map of Canada on your satnav. If so press WHERE TO and then ADDRESS. When you press address the country it's set to is shown at the top of the screen. At the bottom there's a bar which says CHANGE COUNTRY (if you have a second country on your map) Press CHANGE COUNTRY and type CANADA. You should then be able to set Canadian addresses.

I an trying to register my nuvi 255w that i bought at canadian tier and get my update for it and i can not find out how to register it.my address is 88 woodstock drive,sherwood park,alberta canada,t8a4e2.

With the off, plug in your Nuvi to your computer using the supplied USB cable (you can also use a usb camera cord ).

The Unit will show a screen that your pluged in.

Now go to www.MyGarmin.com and register your unit. It then will give you the lastest updates.

I use the North American 2009 or Updated North American 2010 maps for when I go back and forth to Canada from the States.. both maps are good

Garmin Nuvi stopped working when I left the country.

Hmmm did you put the 2010 map on it from garmin? I know when they first released this file there was a problem with it that did very strange things in parts of canada and the usa. I would recommend going to garmin's website and seeing if this is the problem. plug the device into your computer and see if it has a firmware upgrade it is ready for.

Canada

The Nuvi 350 comes with US, Canada and Puerto Rico. When you press Where To? and it asks State/Province, type a Canadian Province, such as Ontario. See what it asks next. It should ask for the City. Try Toronto. Then press Done twice. It should provide you with some addresses in Toronto. This should show it is mapping for Canada.
