Press TOOLS (the spanner symbol)
Press SETTINGS (the spanner symbol) or LOCALE on some models
Press MAPS

There will be a tick beside whatever maps are selected. If the Australian map is not selected press the map name and it will be selected.

When you go to Australia the satellites should automatically pick up your location and load the correct map. If not or if you want to save an Australian location in favoutites before you go;
Press WHERE TO
When the screen comes up to enter the address you'll see NZ as the country selected
At the bottom of the screen you'll see an item CHANGE COUNTRY
Press this and you can select Australia
This should bring up the map of Australia and you can enter addresses there.

Can i download maps of germany,switzerland and france onto my Garmin Nuvi 255 now that it already has australia and nz on it

You can, but...

You'll need to load the mapping onto a removable memory card, as your device's memory isn't large enough. Adding a memory card with additional maps really slows the machine down, painfully so. Buying the European mapping pack isn't cheap: you can buy a brand new satnav with full European (including UK and Eire) mapping preinstalled for about the same price. Click here for a current example, but there are cheaper ones if you abandon Garmin in favour of Medion or other brands.

It works out even cheaper if you sell the old satnav to fund the purchase of the new one. When you need the Oz/NZ mapping again you can do the same thing again as by then your original unit will probably have out of date maps anyway.

I have Garmin Nuvi 200W that I'd like to add Australian Maps to.

You can purchase maps for download at https://buy.garmin.com/shop/buymaps.do?null&ra=true. Garmin does sell the maps for Australia at that site.

There are other maps available from third parties which are compatible but you'd have to confirm that from the seller.
