SOURCE: I just turned my Garmin

What you want to do is a factory reset to clear the user data.

1. Turn the unit off.
2. Place your finger in the lower-right corner of the screen.
3. Keep your finger there and turn on the unit.

You will be asked if you want to erase all user data. Select yes. Your Nuvi will restart and ask you the country information again.

SOURCE: same- how do you reset the default country?

Achieve global reset by pressing down on the bottom right corner of the touch screen (i used a pencil eraser) while restarting the GPS. You will default back to factory settings and can re-select your language of choice then.

This may be a result of a previous software version on a device or possibly some one changing the settings. If a device does power on with a foreign language that you can not understand it can be corrected by going through the settings to change the text language.
To change the text language:

  1. Touch Wrench icon on the screen with the Magnifying Glass and Map icon
  2. Touch the Gears icon
  3. Touch the down arrow
  4. Touch the second option from the top1
  5. Touch the middle blue box on right
  6. Touch the up arrow until American English appears2
  7. Touch American English
  8. Touch OK
  9. Touch Back
The device should be in selected text language.
Note 1 - In some cases, if there are Custom POIs loaded to the device then it may be the first option at the top.
Note 2 - If American English is not the language needed, please selected the desired language

Change country

Do you have the map checked (enabled) on the map screen? At the main menu, press the tools icon, then the map icon and then the map info button. You should see the Europe map listed. Make sure it is checked. If it isn't, then the map will be turned off. Once it is enabled you should be able to perform searches for places in Europe

Change the country setting for a garmin 1350

Typically, when the unit is turned on, the satellitetechnology is able to pin point the unit's current location and provide mapsbased on the user's position. However, if there is not a clear signal or youare located in a different country than the ending destination you are tryingto program into the unit, you may have to manually change the country. For thatplease follow these steps: 1. Touch anywhere on the display screen to access the mainmenu. 2. Tap or select the "Change Preferences" options. 3. Navigate to your map settings. In a Garmin this will belocated under the "View Maps" and then "Change Maps"settings. 4. Use the "Up" and "Down" arrows toscroll through the list of available countries. Once the country you arelooking for is highlighted, press the "OK" button. You will then beasked to select a state or more specific region in the selected country. Onceselected, press "OK" second time. Hope this will help you. Good Luck.

Problems finding the country

You haven't stated which exact maps you have installed nor which countries were missing.

However, European mapping does not cover the whole of Europe; for example if you have a version with UK and European maps it's normally Western Europe with just a few Eastern European countries but you can buy additional maps if required.

Please click here for the relevant Garmin page for current European maps specific to your model.

How do I change the country on my Garmin nuvi 255W GPS?

What do you mean, "change the country"? The unit came with maps for the country in which it was originally sold. If you want to get maps for other countries, they are available for purchase at www.garmin.com or your local GPS retailer.

Trying to change the state name

It will give you the most recent state, but to change it, look on the bottom row for the button labeled "Change State/Country." That outta do it.
