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.

You can get that FREE at Garmin here:
To download the latest unit
software visit Garmin website: www.garmin.com/webupdater
First you have to set up an account at Garmin using
the serial number on your GPS. Once you do that you can download firmware
update for free.
After installing WebUpdater once from the Garmin
website, perform all future software updates from your computer. Simply connect
your compatible Garmin device to your computer, then run WebUpdater from your
computer's "Start Menu" by selecting "Start",
"Programs", "Garmin", and finally "WebUpdater"
REMEMBER: It takes hours to
do a complete a map update.
Unless you bought the Lifetime maps you may have to pay for current maps.
By the way, the correct Garmin approved power
OR download cables are a must!!
Does this help? Let us know. Thanks.
I'm having problems registering my device
You have to use Garmin Express to register your unit. Download the program from Garmin and install to your PC. Your PC should auto id the unit. If it does not, download and install the Garmin USB drivers from the Garmin site.

2000 Mercedes S430. PRND not lighting up and won't start?
Question edited to clarity, stuff in the right order and toss in a few caps.
Question moved to model category.
The panel not lighting up is one issue and not starting is another. You have one of the most complicated makes on the planet. You need an auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer to come and visit.

Garmin Nuvi GPS Stopped working
Hey everyone I might have the solution:
Just got done "fixing" mine, turns out it didn't need any fixing whatsoever, just an update.
I had the same problem most of you seem to have:
Device: StreetPilot C340 worked great when I bought it and for months until one day, it just doesn't turn on...wtf right?
I was halfway done with tech support for an RMA request, (some of you might still need this) and that's when I noticed the usb input on the side of the device (like most of you I thought, why the hell does it even have one?) I plugged my universal camera usb cord into the pc, (At this point the device was on! and charging too!) and went to the garmin website, feel free to search but you will end up with this page:
http://www8.garmin.com/support/collection.jsp?product=999-99999-27
pretty straight forward after this, follow the step by step depending
on whether you have a mac or pc, download and run the "webupdater" mine
was for windows, so I ran this all the way through and bam your good to
go, you even have the option of updating the voice and language preference after the initial updates.
hope this helped everyone!

My new nuvi 255w will not start displaying info
When using a usb from your computer it is only a trickle
charge to the garmin. Will take a day or two to fully charge. If you use a the cigarette lighter plug that came WITH the garmin, it will fully charge in 4 hours. Stick with garmin approved plugs and all will go smooth. I know, I made the same error.
Error when downloading map updates
Try using a different website where you can download the maps for free. These should work. If they don't, you might need a software update from the same web site before getting more maps: www8.garmin.com/support/collection.jsp?product=010-00401-20
